“Well, first of all I must say that I found the movieu0026#39;s cover to be interesting and somewhat offbeat and funny, and that was initially what lured me in to watch this 2018 movie from writer and director Ryan McGonagle.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eGranted, I had never even heard about this 2018 movie prior to sitting down to watch it late in 2020, so I wasnu0026#39;t really sure what I was in for, nor what I should expect from the movie. So in that aspect, director Ryan McGonagle had every opportunity to impress and entertainment.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut that he failed to do.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Black Pumpkinu0026quot; was driven by a rather slow and rather pointless storyline; one that had mundane characters and offered nothing enjoyable to me. And I must admit that I didnu0026#39;t even finish the movie, as there was just simply nothing entertaining enough here to keep me interested in watching.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe characters in u0026quot;Black Pumpkinu0026quot; were flaccid and one-dimensional, and the actors and actresses were clearly struggling with a lack of proper script and dialogue, which ultimately reflected poorly on the movie as a whole.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhile u0026quot;Black Pumpkinu0026quot; is not among the worst of horror movies that I have seen, it is surely not a noteworthy movie, nor is it a movie that I would recommend you spend your time, money or effort on. For a horror movie, u0026quot;Black Pumpkinu0026quot; just failed to deliver and impress.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy rating of u0026quot;Black Pumpkinu0026quot; shows a generous three out of ten once the innards of the pumpkin have been carved out and peeled away.”
