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.

Quirky little film with some decent performances which belie the low budget feel - not that I'm knocking the low budget feel, that's part of its charm. There was no fat to be trimmed with the film pulling you along nicely to its conclusion. I hope to see more from this director and the actors.

Worth a watch, surprisingly good! Didn't expect too much but was pleasantly surprised!

A silly movie with a silly plot but I had fun watching it. The characters are natural and fun to watch. The soundtrack is quite good too. Not a bad way to relax and spend 90 minutes.

This is a really enjoyable film with a strong story and brilliant acting from all of the cast.

Although this film is quite simple, that is part of it's charm and suits the story - which has some interesting twists and turns - and the characters.

Well worth a watch.
