Pumpkinhead description A starkly original visual treat, this Halloween-themed exercise in terror is uncommonly well made, seeking to add yet another creature to horror film lore. A group of teenagers camping in a remote mountain resort accidentally kill a boy and cover it up, and his aggrieved father (Lance Henriksen) vows revenge.

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Overlooked classic |
| I recently revisited the film Pumpkinhead which I had not seen in many years, and I have to say it's not a bad flick. In the time of 80's slashers, there really weren't a whole lot of monster type movies making appearances. However, this one manages to break the monotony of the slasher period by putting more emphasis on atmosphere than straight up violence, and it does it quite well.
Pumpkinhead tells the tale of a father and his young son who are all each other have. To say that the movie is set in a hick town would be an understatement, it's more like a rural middle-of-nowhere kind of place that has a real eerie feeling of isolation to it. When a group of reckless city slickers come to town, a terrible accident brings about the death of the young boy. In an act of revenge, the father conjures up the fabled creature "Pumpkinhead" to settle the score. Unfortunately when the revenge begins, he regrets it as well as discovers that he has some type of connection with the creature. Ultimately he finds that the only way to stop Pumpkinhead might be to stop himself. The atmosphere is what really makes this movie. The town they live in, the "pumpkin patch graveyard", and the voodoo woman's home truly make for some creepy set pieces. Other than Lance Hendrikson, the acting is pretty subpar, but it's still a few notches above the horror standards for that particualar time. Overall it's a well done horror movie that is often forgotten/overlooked. Although it's certainly not the greatest story ever told, it should get a little recognition. I recommend revisiting this one, or checking it out for the first time. |
