Pumpkinhead Reviews

Could more have been done with this film? Yes. Yet that doesn’t take away the fact I adore this film. Stan Winston, the absolute genius you are with practical effects. I love how you can understand where everyone in this film is coming from, I truly do not think there is a 1/2

not what i expected! i thought it was gonna be like jeepers creepers but it’s more like pet sematary
it was really cool though! the dad and son were so sweet oh my heart :(
pumpkinhead looked really cool and i enjoyed the themes of revenge and grief a lot

cool vibe, cool props, cool effects, but just fell short.. pumpkinhead himself is a beautiful design and a super cool sculpt with a very alien like texture (thank u stan winston) but i would’ve loved to see him more in action and more murderous, it would’ve been really cool to see with that prop! plus the characters themselves were kinda washed bc at no point did i ever actually care about their fates or rooted them on at all, all except for poor little billy harley :( i see why people like it

Liked the first half but the rest was pretty forgettable. Awesome creature wasted on a not so great movie.

Such an amazing classic vibe, I love this era of horror movies so much if you haven’t seen PumpkinHead you need to this Halloween!

2½/5
The atmosphere and aesthetic is very nice, but I didn't care much for anything past that.

average late 80s horror with exceptional creature design. 6/10.

One of the first horrors I ever watched.

(Re watch)

8/10 ⭐️

Despite what the title says, it in fact does not resemble a pumpkin whatsoever, which is kinda sad, like where's the whimsy yfm. If anything, it looks like a reptilian xenomorph

Never been a favorite of mine, but it's still one hell of a creature feature. Pumpkinhead is also one of the coolest creature designs out there, and I'm glad to see it's becoming a bigger cult classic as more people discover it.

Tis the season

He’s just misunderstood

Great Halloween time vibes. Wonderful special effects, story sags a bit before the end, but overall a fun spooky time.

Some of the worst acting and storytelling I’ve ever seen

Doesnt have the biggest budget, best scares, acting,etc. but once it gets going its a fun horror watch.

A solid horror film with strong mood, practical effects, & Lance Henriksen’s great performance. The revenge story gives it weight. It’s not perfect, but it’s creepy & well worth revisiting. Solid B Movie

Good movie, the one girl didn’t deserve to die tho, she didn’t do nothing wrong 😕

.

this is a nostalgic loved movie for me. I saw it in theaters. the effects don't really hold up now, but the story does.

This movie definitely has a great aesthetic to it. It’s not bad but it’s not great either.
