OK I saw this movie last night, I was not expecting to much as it was aired by the SCFI Channel. I cant complain it was watchable, the special effects were OK for what they were. The storyline was weak, no real plot twist's. It was basically what you see is what you get from a low budget horror movie. The acting was poor in places, but overall not to bad.
You have to take into account, that this was never gonna be a blockbuster. You were never meant to be wowed just entertained.
So if you want amazing action, big star's, great acting and a story that you are never quite sure what is going to happen, then this is not the film for you.
If on the other hand you just want a little entertainment for an evening in, then this film is watchable, it's not great but if you don't expect too much then you can make it to the end, thinking like me. "I've seen worse"!

Plot summary
Seven college kids take a shortcut on their way to a party and unfortunately end up in Wormwood – a "lost" town in the middle of nowhere. They find something strange and sinister happening there – bones and weird decorations line Main Street. The cause: local Wormwood legend says on All Hallows Eve one hundred years ago, a crazed man tortured the youngsters in town and then cut off their heads. In retaliation, the townspeople killed him by cutting off his head. Seeking revenge every seven years, he returns and takes seven heads from children in the town. Now the seven visitors find themselves hunted one by one as the Headless Horseman claims his due.

Movie Reviews
A movie made for TV, it's OK for a low budget flick.
Brainless Horseman
7 college students (most of them look like they go through their second divorce already) make a road trip and find themselves in a strange small town.
Conveniently, the townspeople have to sacrifice SEVEN young people to the Headless Horseman, who visits the town every halloween...
What can be said about the movie: The special effects are bad, the story is boring and the acting is sometimes ridiculous (especially the old store owner). The Headless Horseman itself looks ok, but lacks scariness. The sets are decent.
Conclusion: It's bad, but it's not "best of the worst" material either. Just boring, predictable and trashy.
P. S.: Elizabeth Prestel's (Candy) acting style fits better in an Adult Movie...
Great compared to other 'sci-fi originals' but still crap compared to real movies
On All hollow's eve in 1862, a confederate soldier and his commanding officer are attacked by the headless horseman, flash forward to modern day and we find seven friends on their way to a Halloween party. Of course they take a 'short cut' and get lost (as teens tend to do in these kind of films) and end up in a ratty old hick town where the horseman starts to use them as cannon fodder. Apparently, his head grows back a tad with each decapitation around his belt that he sends through a whirlpool vortex to hell (don't ask) their only chance lies with a magical fabled sword (again don't ask)
I had no clue this was a 'sci-fi original' when I rented it, so it's my own fault for watching it. Typical lousy acting and atrocious CGI for one of these films, the story is a tad more interesting than is usual the case, but it's still pretty bad. It's always good to see Richard Moll in a film (I did grow up on Night Court after all) but that's one of the very few things that this movie has going for it.
My Grade: D+
DVD Extras: Trailers for "Day of the Dead" (2008), "Senior Skip day", "Mega snake", & "Black ops" (formally Deadwater)
