Review of Pumpkinhead (1988) by Dawnah W — 31 Jan 2009
Creature feature horror film directed by late special effects wizard Stan Winston is entertaining, even if it doesn't live up to its potential. The simplistic story appropriately has the feel of a campfire legend, and the creepy atmosphere is effective with excellent cinematography and production design - and, of course, awesome creature effects.
Lance Henriksen is at his best, though the rest of the cast is uneven - and the film does rely too heavily on musical stingers for a few too many false scares.
