Jens B 🎃 Why is this considered a cult classic? 🥱 A simple revenge story, extremely two-dimensional characters, a monster that looks like a cheap knock-off of the Alien Queen, a very strange score, and poor direction—these are usually ingredients I can enjoy. But here, as I watch, there's no excitement, no amusement, not even real interest because everything just feels so dull. Eventually, an hour has passed, and suddenly all the teens are dead, and the final showdown is about to start. 🤔 In capable hands, this could have actually turned into something worthwhile. There are numerous shots and tension-building sequences that could have gained a lot of momentum with better direction. The set design and creature design are actually pretty great. Unfortunately, it lacks the metaphorical "red thread" to hold everything together and carry it to the finish line. Luckily, Winston stuck to effects and makeup and spared us any further attempts at directing. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/06/24 Full Review Audience Member As a horror movie fan, I’m so glad I finally got around to watching Pumpkinhead. Not only does this movie have good scares, it also has some very emotional moments. I thought Lance Henriksen and his son had such good chemistry together. I really believed they could be father and son Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/19/24 Full Review Ari V Over the top and simplistic in certain ways to be sure, but actually kind of sophisticated in others. Mainly watching it because of something mentioned about it by an mkultra whistleblower, but don't regret having seen it. 3.25/5 Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/25/24 Full Review James B A really nice creature movie with horror legend lance hendriksen and to top it off it has a cool monster gory kills a solid plot and a few scares. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/15/24 Full Review Audience Member I love this film but I have to be fair, there are a few problem like when haggis gets blood from Ed Harley and you can literally see the blade is leaking it, on the other hand the suit is incredible and unlike 3&4 didn't resort to CGI, it all practically effect from stan Winston, so you can't get much better Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/12/24 Full Review Eddy C First of all, I really had a good time watching this. Its a horror movie that has eluded me and been on my radar for years. Big fan of Stan Winston. His artistic eye is all over this. Great lighting and cinematography. Creature effects are as you would expect of Stan the man are great. We have a few formulaic parts to it, but thats ok. Good cast apart from religious girl, who when she gets killed, you are like meh!!! Watched it today on my day off and really enjoyed it. Erickson is great as always, and the young boy from Jerry McGuire is like ahhhh. WHYYYYYY?? The young lad who explains the witch and the monster??? You didnt need that much exposition, but a solid movie. Good horror and and dont look for anything deep here, just a fun time.
