Unbelievably cool monster and an unbelievably satisfying ending.
Pumpkinhead Reviews and Ratings

October 30, 2009Fantastic 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?!
-
October 22, 2009Pumpkinhead 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.

September 26, 2009The 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)

September 1, 2009An alright vengeance story with great practical effects, this is a pretty by the numbers horror flick, but has some nice bits with the monster. The perpetually foggy forest that the creature lurks in, the remote cabin the witchy lady who brings forth the demon resides in, there'...( read more)

August 8, 2009The story was really quite good. Henriksen always delivers a solid performance. The creature effects were really well done. I recommend it.

July 18, 2009Saw 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.

June 29, 2009Crack kills people...and someone should have told Stan that before they made this movie

June 16, 2009It was a good movie. The idea was good, acting wasn't bad but the creature made me laugh but still seemed to creep me out haha. I liked it, Until the end, not everything has a good ending. Worth a watch(;

June 2, 2009One of the better horror movies out there. Happy that Sci-Fi tried to reinvigorate the series. Sad that the series has ended up the way it has.

March 20, 2009to this day, it is the scariest movie to me..i haven't been able to watch this since i was 13

February 27, 2009A pretty good monster flick. The sequels got progressively worse but this one still stands up.

November 3, 2008i cant stand to watch this movie. it's a great movie but very disturbing to me.
-
October 30, 2008I give it points for being somewhat original in the horror genre, and having good creature effects. And you've got Lance Hendriksen too. But let's not forget, it's still a cheesy 80s low budget horror movie with some goofy writing, editing, and atrocious music.

October 29, 2008Backwoods vengeance sets up this tale of morality. Lance Henriksen shines as the father who wants revenge for the death of his son but then balks at the cost. Features a great "witch" and superb man in a suit effects. Great, laughable name of the demon only adds to the fun of th...( read more)

October 23, 2008haha wow just the synopsis sounds like a joke,if I ever see this movie it's because i want to laugh 'cus I don't really think that movie can freak me out...
-
October 17, 2008Before I get this review started, I would like to mention that this film is a perfect example that you can?t judge a book by its cover. The film, in fact, does come with the classic horror tagline. And, on top of that, it has an interesting premise, yet, the movie is still extrem...( read more)

October 12, 2008As hoaky monster flicks go from the 80s - this is one of the better ones. Forget the sequels (almost always a good rule of thumb) but this original isn't bad at all. A "Grim Fairy Tale" it is and aside from the pretty durn scary monster, Lance Henrikson in the lead role as the ...( read more)

September 23, 2008A corny and occasionally creepy late 80's horror film. It stars genre actor Lance Henriksen and is centered around revenge, folklore and a bunch of whiny teenagers running for their lives. The movie showcases a strange monster called Pumkinhead created by late special effects ...( read more)

September 14, 2008this was the scariest thing i'd ever seen when i was little, and it turned out to be awesome when i got older.
-
September 9, 2008Most creature horror films can get pretty campy - but this one was done just right. Plus, if you're going to have a superb creature - always make sure he's designed by the great Stan Winston.

August 14, 2008this is actually my favorite series of horror movies the whole series actually managed to scare me coming from someone who absolutely DOES NOT!! get scared lol
-
July 27, 2008the strobe lights made me feel sick :(... but happy i finally got to see this after waiting for like, a billion years. ... not really a great movie though xD
-
July 22, 2008A 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.
