A lot of fun.

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Jolly Roger has a body count of 17, which is a pretty high amount of deaths for a 80 minute horror movie. It has a few good actors, and a few bad ones. Some of it makes you laugh. Like, for example, the mayor gets her arm cut of and starts running at Roger with no weapon! Another, is he rips a man's arm of and beats him to death with it! He also has bullets and fire in his arm! It is a bloody film! I have wanted to see this for a year. We went to Holly wood video, and my heart nearly stopped when i saw the title! I love this film! I think i might buy it off of Amazon. com! Pretty decent film for a low budget horror film! I would recommend it to every buddy that likes horror films! Enjoy this masterpiece by Gary! (Gary is the director of the film) this on my wish list along with Shark Attack 2 (DVD) Jack frost 2 (DVD) and Blood Surf (VHS)!!!!!

A rather jolly film if you pardon the pun, but not really very frightening. The plot is very reminiscent of "The Fog". A dead pirate comes back and kills descendants of his crew who mutinied against him 300 years earlier. It's a film to watch if there is nothing else on the TV. Don't take it too seriously and treat it as a bit of fun. The acting is not of a great standard. There would certainly not be any Oscar nominations for this picture. I haven't heard of any of the cast although the leading lady, Kristina Korn is quite pleasing on the eye. The decapitation scenes, of which there are many are humorous but certainly not scary.

...And if that's the best thing you can say about this movie, then that pretty much tells you all you need to know. Jolly Roger, a homicidal pirate from the year 1719 or something like that, gets resurrected by some teens drinking and carousing on the beach. He goes on a rampage, kills four of the six teens (the other two escape and become the leads of the movie) and then goes on a decapitation spree in the oceanside village of Cutter's Cove. He's apparently recognized all the people he kills as descendants of people who stole his buried treasure back in the 1700s -- because in today's modern society, everyone's family has lived in the same town for 300 years. And then he goes to a strip joint and kills a stripper and the bouncer. Whatever. His big ruse is that he's green and looks like Kermit the Frog with a pirate's costume and facial hair, so all the people of Cutter's Cove probably laugh themselves into getting decapitated by him. And the movie looks like it was filmed in a two-block area of a depressed fishing community. You know this is a bad movie when SciFi Channel makes it the centerpiece of its Saturday night lineup, but doesn't re-run it at 1 a.m. like it does most Saturday night features. I'm giving it a 2 only because Jolly Roger switched things up and amputated the strip joint bouncer's arm, then bludgeoned the guy to death with it -- a nice change of pace from the usual decapitations and a rather entertaining scene all the way around.

Ah, low budget horror like everyone knows...most times it's very awful and sometimes...it's really great. Jolly Roger, despite a dumb title is actually a pretty great little film. For real it was everything I was hoping it would be after being burnt one time before on an Asylum production (the same company that made Jolly Roger) with Scarecrow Slayer which I was disappointed with. Now back to this film, I have to really give it up to the director of this flick, Gary Jones, for really making this film look like a real film(with lots of cool camera movements). Most Direct to Video films don't have that since they're all shot on digital now and so most directors use the point an shoot but rarely do you get a sense of movement to the film. So I was really feeling the camera movements which gave this film a certain edge above the rest of the DtV films I've seen. Now I have to say this is one fun movie, I was just loving every moment of this flick. It's fun, gory and pretty well made. The film gets almost everything right right from the start by showing killing and boobs just in the opening minutes. That's always a plus in my book. The script is really quite good and has a pretty good story behind it. Did I see the future plot lines coming from a mile away? Of course but who cares...I had a blast getting there anyway. Man, I just really enjoyed this flick. Everything about it screamed I know what the fans want to see so we're going to give it to them...and that really makes me happy. This film knew everything that was expected and gave us more...great over the top gore, nudity and really cool deaths. Is this film gonna the most well regarded horror flick ever? No, but it does know what it is and what it's not. It's a great little horror film with a pretty story. The acting...almost everyone is right on except for the Woman who played the Mayor...god, she couldn't act for crap..but she dies so all was forgiven. The two leads, Tom Nagel and Kristina Korn, were great except for Tom who had a lot of off moments in this film were it looked like he was "acting". Kristina was great, I just loved her. She handled her part really well and I actually liked her character in a certain way ,that I've never seen a low budget horror film female lead, she played her kinda of scared, kinda weak, and always worried. She was the real surprise of the movie, I actually believed that she could be a real person while Tom I feel, couldn't keep up with her which is kind of sad because I feel it would have really made this flick even better. Another small beef was with Jolly Roger himself, I mean he looked cool and all except that I think they should have altered his voice a bit and made it deeper and more eviler. When he first shows up looking all bad ass and stuff you know he's gonna be one cool mother but then he talks and it's like"what was the hell was that?" His voice really doesn't match the look of the Jolly Roger. It's kinda hard to take him seriously as a threat when he speaks like a wimp. But he hardly talks so it's all good.Much Props to Gary Jones again for making an actually well directed, very few bad actor filled fun ride of a horror/ slasher movie. I really liked this flick a lot...I can't wait to start spreading the good word about this film...I was really impressed with it.My Rating: A Bad Ass flick. Man, this flick has it all and then more. It's a fun blood filled ride with some actually great directing and some solid acting from most of the cast (except for a few) and just plain fun. This is a flick for horror guys like me that know what we want to see and delivers with shining colors. Great show.
