I'm going to throw you into an abandoned salt mine full of starving vultures
If it makes you feel any better. I thought the 2008 movie was great. They really should have kept the same director.Eight Bit Alien wrote: ↑Sun Jan 09, 2022 11:30 pmI'm going to throw you into an abandoned salt mine full of starving vultures
In your mineshaft/vulture scenario I assumed I had died of natural causes.Eight Bit Alien wrote: ↑Mon Jan 10, 2022 9:19 am Im sorry for threatening to kill you

Who cares about the gore? The revenge avatar design is probably one of the best visual costumes ever on film.
It was definitely a mixed bag. Loved Lance Henriksen's performance, and like you I thought the monster great. Many scenes were very atmospheric. It's just it had the structure of a monster slasher movie and I felt it lacked proper killing scenes. Even when pumkinhead does something brutal, it's presented in a lame way, like when he throws that chick from the tree, there's a cut, and then she's just lying on a rock. I think handmade gore vastly improves any film of that kind. Pacing was poor as well, especially in the finale.cxwx wrote: ↑Tue Jan 11, 2022 5:56 amWho cares about the gore?

As a movie it isn’t amazing but the story is almost like a fable. The last scene with the witch where you see what the actual physical source of the [REDACTED] is still gives me chills.
The pacing was poor I agree, you have to keep in mind the director wasn’t a real director. It was directed by the actual special effects designer himself. I believe it was the first movie he had ever directed at that time as well. I think it’s a pretty unique movie for what it is. It is much more about the atmosphere than anything else.THE KILL wrote: ↑Wed Jan 12, 2022 2:19 pmIt was definitely a mixed bag.

Hey man, Stan Winston is an absolute legend, he and his team brought to life the Terminator, The Thing, the Predator, Aliens, the list goes on and on... I probably wouldn't have watched Pumkinhead if the dude hadn't directed it. Still, I guess his real talent lies in doing special effects...cxwx wrote: ↑Wed Jan 12, 2022 3:52 pmThe pacing was poor I agree, you have to keep in mind the director wasn’t a real director.
