A frightening little folk tale by way of awesome monster movie
A Customer Review by author of Doc Wilde & The Frogs of Doom
This movie is a frightening little folk tale by way of awesome monster movie.
A group of partying teenagers accidentally causes the death of Lance Henriksen's son, and Lance goes to the old witch in the woods seeking a reckoning. And a reckoning, by God, he gets.
Pumpkinhead is a jewel of a film, full of suspense, and ultimately quite moving. And the creature, designed and built by master monster builder Stan Winston (who also directed), is awesome. Don't bother with any of its sequels, but do not miss this movie.
awsome
