This film is atrocious

This is quite possibly the worst movie ever. The only competition would be Friday the 13th. Not only is the plot mildly retarded, but the characters and actors in the movie show attributes that are comparable to my 9 year old cousin with down synndrome. A biking accent in the middle of an isolated farm is horribly pathetic. Not only would an accident this severe not even cause any permanent damage, it sure as hell wouldn't kill the person. From the death of his son, some random backward ass redneck summons some crazy ass demon with wings that looks like a burnt muppet from space with a huge head.

Anyone who finds this movie frightening should be sterilized.

However... on the comedy side, we are rating this movie a 10.

ilikepie427, I can guess already by your name, that the only one who should be sterilized here is you, first off that movie was made in the 80s when special effects werent as good as they are now, and the movie is a good classic. You are just an arrogent bastard, I can understand if someone didnt like the movie but to compare the actors to your 9 yr old cousin with down syndrome, is so *beep* barbaric, do u have no soul?Im surprised Someone of your intelligence, can actually turn a tv on let alone be able to put a movie on! Seriously, if someone going fast, runs into a little boy it could kill them, the fact that u think a speeding motor bike slamming into a little boy wont do any damage makes me think you dont have a brain. Right now I would respect an opinion of a frog then, yours! Becuz anything else would make sense then the *beep* you have come across with! Do the world a favor and dont ever voice your opinion again!
thanx

This coming from someone who has a signature that is grammatically incorrect. Also your whole reply contains grammatical errors, but I'm the one who is dumb? Hmm I see

You are obviously too much for me!

P.S. "thanx" is not a word. When you graduate middle school please come back.

[–] taradorff_16 19 years ago

love if grammer was the only thing anyone had to worry about then the world would be a great place, shame for you, your problems are much worse!

"A biking accent"

Just what is a "biking accent"? And Pumpkinhead does not have wings. At least he doesn't in the first movie; not sure about the 2nd. The only one here "mildly retarded" is you. "However... on the comedy side" i am rating you a 10. LoL

Konnichiwa!

I didn't like this film, but it was sure a notch above the average slasher flick.

i bet he's half women and half man so shut up and live with this good movie

[–] brodiebruce_405 19 years ago

As you are a living testament to. Sure, you didn't like this movie but you're only really posting here because you want to stir *beep* up among people who DO like this movie? Well why don't you do me a favour and jump in front of a fu**ing train and just die. Take lots of sleeping pills. Hang yourself. Jump out of a tall building and just "rid the world of your *beep* evil presence."

You piece of s h i t. I hope someone near you snaps and kills you very soon. I wish Pumpkinhead was real so we could send him after you, to hell with the concequences.

Find something better to do with your time than hassle people who see something in a film that you do not yourself see.

Please, for the love of God, DIE.

[–] Libermeus 19 years ago

Maybe you should check your own grammar before you start slamming other people's grammar. Two glaring examples from your original post:

1. "synndrome" is not a word. Did you mean "syndrome"?

2. Can you explain to me what a "biking accent" is?

You, Sir, are a moron.

P.S. this was posted before the tard edits his mistakes.

So the special effects in the 80's aren't as good as they are now?! Hell they were infinitely better than they are now!! Hell all they are now is computer generated *beep* I'd take puppetry and animatronics anyday over this new cgi vomit!!

[–] stangosrest 19 years ago

Pumkinhead wasn't great, and maybe it was even on the bad side of average, but let's not exaggerate too much here. It wasn't the worst movie ever, if it was, it may have been a better movie. At least there would have been that. Pumkinhead was only just pretty bad, which is bad enough. The worst part is, it could have been pretty good. It had an okay setup, a middle aged widower who loses his son in a accident, and goes for revenge, but then it loses itself. The teenagers weren't believable at all. They accidentally killed a kid, so the whole group goes and hides out. I guess it kept the costs down, Pumkinhead didn't have to travel to a city or supburbs to find his victims, but it made for a more STUPID movie. I gave it a four.

Haha, what an idiot, trying to voice his criticisms through the mockery of people with Down's syndrome! Thats really clever and bound to have people rallying to his side of the arguement!

[–] Glennvanderpas 17 years ago

Yeah the original posters an a hole we all realise that. Theres plenty of em here and all around you...

Its the best kind man, i got it from a negro!

[–] camsmclean 19 years ago

Pumpkin Head and Friday the 13th... worst movies ever. WOW. Man oh man, I thought they were ok, not the best, but there are WAY worse. Unhinged... Leprachan in Space... the Last Samuri... some on, these are all way worse.

Come on!This has to be one of the best 80s horror movies ever! Along with Re-Animator, The Thing, Evil Dead, and others. I confess this did scare me. Also nice effects!

Man, I love how stupid people are. And I don't mean you, whoever you are that just got mad. lol

[–] Overmarz87 17 years ago

Hahaha this is funny. I was expecting everybody to agree with the original poster but i guess not. You people are actually defending "Pumpkinhead". HAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHa

[–] Tales-from-the-Goondocks 13 years ago

Pumpkinhead is a great horror movie. Maybe your taste just plain suck? Yep, that must be it.

[–] TransAtlantyk 17 years ago

Everything you just said. . . is why I love this film.

Learn to lighten up, it's not The Godfather Part II, and if you expected it to be anything other then what it is, you have no right to comment.

wen wil poeple lern that gramer don't mater on the enternet

[–] bobcat_ferox 17 years ago

Go watch a Ulli Lommel film. Any will do. If you have the ability to sit through it without vomiting to death (I don't exaggerate), perhaps you may be able to appreciate this film. Granted, as the expenses and expectations continue to lower in today's low-budget horror world, 'Pumpkinhead' will look good by default. However, I think that there's lot that was original and cool in the film, especially when compared to other 80s/90s horror/slasher films involving the stereotypical "group of teens." And Lance Henriksen proves he can act (we all knew he could, right?).

[–] moviedude33 17 years ago

it was good and scary for its time, remember that You also have to take into account that this movie is 17+ years old now.

[–] samax_89 17 years ago

Pumpkinhead being 17+ years old is no excuse for it's crapness, the exorcist,the texas chainsaw massacre and night of the living dead are over thirty years old but are classic's,pumpkinhead is just plain rubbish.I saw it on it's u.k video release back in the late eighties as 'vengence the demon' and again on u.k tv last night (hence this message board entry) and it is still very poor.

[–] alucardvenom 17 years ago

Worst part of this is that people trying to find sense of supernatural horror movie.

Original poster of this thread is retard.

And does people ever look for directing\acting\editing\anything other then story and lame excuses to bring movie down?

People try to find logic in group of kids that hide in cabin and they complain how "unnatural" that was, but the same people think that demon summoning happens everyday...

and hell with that grammar *beep* not everyone here are from USA or UK...
