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
