Pumpkinhead (1988), directed by Stan Winston, V2 Shout! Factory 4k remaster, encoded in 10 bit HEVC with AAC sound, including 5.1 remaster, original theatrical stereo, commentary track, and subtitles in English and French.

IMDb : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095925/

Video encoded in two-pass 13.0 Mbps x265 10bit with the veryslow preset for archive quality image. Audio encoded separately with Apple AAC for the highest-quality AAC sound available. Subtitles converted to VobSub and repositioned.

Note : Here's a V2 encode of this film, but it's actually from a new remaster, the previous 4k remaster was scanned from an interpositive, while this is scanned from the original camera negative.

The folk horror subgenre exists all over the world, but it's not all that well represented in the US. This, however, fits squarely in the definition, and it's FX wizard Stan Winston's directorial debut, starring one of my favorite character actors, Lance Henriksen, in a little backwoods tale of vengeance, the dangers of calling up that which you cannot put down, douchey 80s kids on dirtbikes, and the world's only combination graveyard and pumpkin patch. The rest of the cast is largely less known, but includes John D'Aquino, Jeff East, Kerry Remsen, Buck Flower, and anti-vaxx asshole Mayim Bialik for some reason, as well as Tom Woodruff Jr. and the wonderfully named Dick Warlock.

Backwoods store owner and single dad Tom Harley loses his son to a dirtbike accident, courtesy of the aforementioned kids, and decides to summon up a vengeance demon with the help of a local witch. The demon proceeds to slaughter the kids, but Tom has second thoughts and tries to stop what's happening, for which he has to pay a high price. It's a simple story, but well told, with good performances and a tight script, supported by very pretty cinematography by famous DP Bojan Bazelli (King of New York, The Ring, Mr. and Mrs. Smith) in one of his first features. The FX work is also, as you might expect, top notch, although the main creature design at times veers over that fine line into silly territory.

This new Shout! Factory 4k remaster is better than the previous one, although it's a bit grainy, and the darker scenes are still murky as shit, probably due to limitations of the film stock. 5.1 remaster also sounds good, and the commentary track, largely focused on script and FX work, is well worth your time.

Hot tip

Quote:

HeVK torrents always have lots of keywords. Try searching for “hevk folk horror” for more horror about ancient legends of the land, “hevk demon” for more malevolent otherworldly beings, or “hevk 80s” for more from the decade when Stan Winston was one of the FX artists defining the very peak of the craft.
