Uncle Peckerhead

Just watched this on Horrible Imaginings online fest and enjoyed it a lot. The acting is good, especially from the lead actress and the film overall is well paced and watchable.

It has plenty gore, and the comedy element works, certainly for me anyway.

The characters are developed quickly and comedically, and this helps us not just care about what happens to them, but also to want to see each of them on screen more.

The horror element is good and Peck works well and fun as the horror creature; definitely elements of the late great Sid Haig in there as Captain Spaulding.

In filmmaking terms there are clearly influences from other film styles, in particular Shaun of the Dead, certainly with the editing and character interaction. I also felt a lot of School of Rock in there, maybe just because the story is of similar notes. But the opening shot of Max lying asleep on the floor was reminiscent of Jack Black in a similar shot.

A very accomplished and well put together feature film. And no, I don't know any of the cast or crew (yet), just a review from someone who appreciates the time and effort that goes into filmmaking and congratulations on an enjoyable watch.
