Saw this along time ago, its very basic and formulaic but the two things that save it are the creature, designed by Stan Winston the genius and Henriksen. Apart from that its just an average boogieman thriller.
A good, solid slasher-style creature feature and a minor classic in its own right, Pumpkinhead is surprisingly well-executed. Not as strong or memorable as Friday the 13th or Halloween, but still certainly worth watching.
Lance Hendriksen is a fun hillybilly after revenge of his dead son who got run over by motorcycle man. Otherwise, the movie was kinda dumb.
er, better than i expected actually. There's something about creature movies made in the eighties, a cheap nastiness that i think adds to the flavour. With a bit more gore i think this could have been a little more memorable.
I didn't like the monster, the setting, the characters or the story. The name is great, but it doesn't look like a Pumpkin. Sorry, I don't consider it to be a great horror flick.
Fantastic movie, especially for being one from a few decades ago! =D Why is this movie not as well known as the "Friday the 13th" and "Halloween" flicks?!
Pumpkinhead is cool looking, but he isn't my favorite demon/monster. I respect it b/c its 80s and they don't make ghouls like him/it anymore - screw CGI. Lastly, I don't like what happens to poor Billy, and they over did the griminess of the hillbilly kids. The end.
The legendary Stan Winston and the brilliant Lance Henriksen join up for this competent horror movie. Evidently, Winston was more than just an effects wizard, he was also capable of writing/directing too. The pacing and tension work well, it has layers and the production design i...( read more)
