This movie is very typical of what's done in the slasher genre. It has a psycho bad guy who kills for no real reason. Yeah, they said he has PTSD, but come on. He lives in an abandoned hospital and kills anyone who happens to trespass in it. It also has the audience rooting for the killing of the very unlikeable characters. Of course, it's not a slasher without the slasher movie props of blood, gore and boobs. Three of the girls show their breasts. The ones who don't are Bridget (Amanda Manddox) and Stella (Alison Lani). That figures, since they're the only two people in the entire movie I liked.

Of course, cliché after cliché is used. Clichés don't mean something will be bad, just like lack or originality doesn't mean it, either. However, if they use clichés and repetitive story lines, at least try to do a good job on them. In this movie, they didn't. They have some of the characters running for their lives down the hallway. The killer is just walking after them. Somehow, the killer always catches up to his prey. Come on! Put that pathetic cliché six feet under already! This is the 21st Century. Is the audience really supposed to believe that somebody walking can catch up to people who are running? Ugh! No cell phone reception? Really? I know in hospitals - the ones that are working - cell reception is hard, but that's because of the machines that are in use. This is an old, abandoned hospital, and they can't get a signal? The writing was in serious need of help. The characters, most of them, were in serious need of being killed. I do not recommend.

The one victim that keeps suffering every time a movie like this is made is the slasher genre itself. When someone hears another slasher is out, people roll their eyes, and it's because of movies like this, The Cemetery, Varsity Blood, and I can go on and on with other failed slasher titles. Stop killing the slasher genre, folks! I gave this 2 stars. One for Amanda Maddox, and one for Alison Lani.

A group of friends choose an abandoned hospital to play a game of paint-ball(at least they didn't go to a cabin in the woods).

Unfortunately there is a deranged, post traumatic soldier walking around killing whoever goes there. There is no new ground being broken here peeps. The violence is all done off screen.

You see blood fly around but generally a PG rated killer. The only reason it would be rated R is because a few breasts are exposed and simulated oral sex.

Lucky for everyone the hospital still has power hooked up and the psycho has access to all construction tools that were left.

Hazard Jack could be a poster boy for safety however as he is equipped with a helmet, work boots and even knee pads.

There is not even one gram of tension in this thing. It's not even cheesy just damn annoying. It's almost like they didn't have a special effect crew just a few props and an empty hospital to shoot at.

Watch Sweatshop:2009 instead.

An appalling creation. A characterless bunch of irksome young people head to a disused hospital to play paintball, little knowing that a psychotic war veteran lurks there, just in case some irksome young people head there to play paintball. The token interracial couple, jock, pregnant woman and geek are all present and correct.

It's hard to say whether this merits being labelled as horror, 90% of the film consists of the idiotic characters stripping, making unfunny remarks and writhing in front of their cameras, accompanied by a 48 minute remix of some of the crappest music ever. In the final 10 minutes the killer finally appears from the shadows and begins to despatch the moronic cast, mostly off screen. Hazard Jack is probably the most useless serial killer in film history. Luckily for him though most of his victims are only too happy to accept their fate, because the moment they decide to fight back against him he is subdued with ease and this awful feature is mercifully brought to an end. Hazard Jack would have benefited from a few less topless dance scenes and a few more action scenes. 3 Marks out of 10 = 1 for the effective back story imagery, 1 for the severed head collection scene and 1 for the song at the end.

Inevitably, not a single paintball shot is fired.

SPOILER - The blue team wins.

Essentially a teen dance off with a health and safety conscious serial killer thrown in at the end. A steaming pile of bulltoss.

Deciding to engage in a game of paint-ball, a group of friends wrongly choose the location held by a PTSD-plagued war vet who sees them as a chance to continue his reign of terror and forcing them to stop him in order to get out alive.

Overall, this was quite a surprising and enjoyable slasher effort that really gets a lot right. One of it's better elements throughout this is the prime location set-up here to take advantage of the intended target here of the paint-ball game in the abandoned hospital where he's secretly living. The winding corridors, endless darkened rooms split off from the main entrances, plenty of power-tools left lying around to make for handy weaponry and the type of dirty, grimy atmosphere gained from years of neglect and disuse that supplies this perfectly well with a great location and really makes the most of it. That also occurs with the rather frantic and enjoyable stalking scenes that are quite enjoyable if just a tad clichéd of the use of running victims being unable to escape from the shambling killer but there's more in quantity that certainly make for an overall more enjoyable offering. Along with the locations and stalking here, the plentiful gore and bountiful nudity also supply this with a lot to like and really seem to help overlook the fact that the running time is so short yet never once overstays it's welcome or descends into boredom by constantly providing all of those features together at given intervals to continually creep further along and generally come across as quite positive. That said, there's still a few minor areas here that do hold this one down, mostly the two aforementioned tactics in its short running time and the clichéd stalking scenes but also from the fact that it manages to once again feature such a wide-ranging group of people that they're hardly the sort of friends that would hang out with each other in real-life and it becomes upsetting to think they would be. It really casts a strong cloud over the film, as well as the fact of this one really doesn't do much interesting with its' killer beyond the silent, hulking brute. The ties to the disorder is fine and actually well-handled, but it tends to go off on several needless tangents throughout here which are just plain confusing and don't really offer much to the film beyond their confusing nature. These do hold it back somewhat, though what's on display is often enough to hold it off and become quite enjoyable.

Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity, several sexual situations and drug use.

A group of annoying young people host a party inside of an abandoned hospital. Before long, their night of fun turns into a night of carnage as a massive, steroid-pumped and shellshocked Iraq war veteran mauls them all to death with various pieces of construction equipment. There are a few beheadings, a jock gets nailed alive to a wall, the token black dude is eviscerated with a drill bit, and a ridiculous latino gay caricature is burned alive in a church (how's that for offensive?)

Hazard Jack is a mostly formulaic slasher -- seen one, seen 'em all -- but it earns some points for seeming at least a little self-aware of its function as pornography. Its characters are so over-the-top stereotypical and the titular maniac so obscenely huge and bestial as to indicate as much.

But in the end, for a film like this, there really wasn't enough gore. Everything in the introduction -- from the deteriorating hospital setting to the brute killer's hefty arsenal of killing tools -- make you expect volumes of blood and guts, and yet the gore level is at best average. The slasher is one of the most overdone genres of film ever, and you can't sell one these days without extreme gore and suspense. Otherwise, it really feels like plagiarism.

As a devoted slasher fan, I hope Jack returns for a sequel. But when he does, I hope he's willing to paint the town red.
