A review by Gimly

6.0

Written on November 8, 2017

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._
