Pumpkinheadの配信情報・視聴方法・感想

SFX guru Stan Winston helms this movie, and it is the special effects of _Pumpkinhead_ that most stand out. For those alone, it is worth watching, however, it never reached the heights of horror franchises born of the same era. Still, a shining example of fantasy horror that I was thrilled to revisit.

_Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._

**An honest, committed and well-made low-budget film that delivers what it promises and doesn't leave us dissatisfied.**

I just saw this movie, which is currently considered a cult classic and an example of what you want from a low-budget movie. In fact, I understand the motivations of those who say this: the film is not good, it is not one of those films that I feel I will want to review a lot, however it is effective and gives us what it promises, in an honest way.

The script also has its originality, although it is scarce and only sustains a feature film thanks to the ability of the director, the "newbie" Stan Winston, to stretch it, albeit at the expense of a slower pace, which he tried to take advantage of to create Suspense: Set in an isolated rural area, the film is an insane revenge story, in which a man decides to turn to an evil witch after having his young son killed in an accident by a group of unconscious teenagers.

The actors are, for me, illustrious strangers. However, I really liked the performance of Lance Henrikssen, who is the only actor here to maintain a dramatic posture, to have charisma and to develop a more professional and mature work. In addition to giving life to the anguished father, he also gave life and body to the monster, who is the true protagonist of this film. The film also has several other actors, most of them quite young and with little experience.

On a technical level, I would like to highlight, first of all, the painstaking and time-consuming work of characterizing Henrikssen whenever he brought the monster to life. I can only imagine all the time spent each time the actor had to masquerade like that, and that disguise was excellent in itself, truly frightening and detailed. The filming work and cinematography seemed to be regular, the sets were well executed and the visual, special and sound effects are well done, especially considering the reduced budget of the production. The soundtrack also proved to be effective, albeit forgettable.
