Pumpkinhead
A decent movie, but nothing great. I guess my biggest problem with it was the lack of creativity in each of the deaths. They were kind of vauge and boring. For the most part, the mood was great in the movie. I loved the camera angles and how they used the lighting. The scene in the decrepit old church was pretty cool. I'm a big fan of Lance Henriksen, and really enjoyed his work in this film. He pulled the southern accent off very well, and his scenes with his son were heartfelt. Bottom line is I give Pumpkinhead a 2.5 out of 5.
