Justin W Dec 8 This movie has a hard time knowing what it wants to be. Some scenes are obviously for kids and is about as scary as Goosebumps. Other times it seems like it's trying to be more of a teen horror like Stranger Things, yet at others it definitely crosses into adult territory and would definitely be too intense for really young viewers. The tone of the music is goofy which makes it pretty hard to take even remotely seriously. Also, it's pretty confusing since there is already a long running Horror series called Pumpkin Head with a similar, but different story (the first one of those is pretty classic). This movie has nothing to do with that franchise. That being said the movie looks pretty good and is mildly entertaining. Just don't expect too much.

The story captures a Goosebumps-style vibe, giving just enough spookiness without becoming too dark or intense, making it perfect for younger audiences while still entertaining adults who enjoy campy horror. The cast delivers solid performances, each actor bringing energy and personality that helps the story feel alive and the characters relatable. The direction maintains a steady pace, mixing tension and humor effectively, and the screenplay is cohesive, with dialogue that’s clever and accessible. Visually, the film impresses with practical effects and makeup that give the Pumpkinhead creature a tangible presence, while set design and lighting create a whimsical, spooky world. Overall, Pumpkinhead is an underrated, charming film with a creative story, engaging performances, and memorable visuals.

The adult acting wasnt great. I appreciate the attempt at a new adaptation though. Tim Treakle See more Jadyn R Nov 3 It was okay overall, but definitely not my favorite. The story had some good moments, but the ending really let me down. I felt genuinely sad for Sam seeing Finn and his mom forget him was just heartbreaking. I wanted a better closure for his character.
