Pumpkinhead Unearthed (2008)
*** (out of 4)
Fans of the cult film PUMPKINHEAD will certainly enjoy this sixty minute documentary that takes a look at the production of the film. Co-writer Gary Gerani is joined by cast members Lance Henriksen, Cynthia Bain, Kerry Remsen and Florence Shauffler among others and we also get special effects workers Tom Woodruff, Shannon Shea and Alex Gillis. The documentary is spread over six chapters and for the most part all of them are quite entertaining. Some of the best stuff happens early on when we learn about some early ideas for the film and how everything changed once Stan Winston came on board. The director is sadly missing from the documentary but we certainly get a good idea of what it was like working with him with each of the cast members telling some good stories. While this certainly isn't as detailed as some future making-of featurettes it's still worth watching.
