I was lured in to watch "Uncle Peckerhead" given the movie's interesting poster/cover. And of course the title alone just had something brilliant about it. So without even knowing anything about the movie, I sat down to watch this 2020 horror comedy from writer and director Matthew John Lawrence.
The storyline told in "Uncle Peckerhead" was definitely unique and had some interesting aspects to it. However, the movie just suffered from being a tad too predictable. Especially towards the end of the movie.
"Uncle Peckerhead" have some interesting characters, and they are portrayed by some nicely cast actors and actresses. Now, what worked here, for me at least, was the fact that I wasn't familiar with those cast for the movie. And I do enjoy watching unfamiliar faces perform in movies.
There was a fair amount of blood and gore in the movie, which was something that was worked well in favor of the movie. And I had hoped for something like that, given the movie's poster artwork. So writer Matthew John Lawrence did deliver on that account. And it should be said that the special effects in "Uncle Peckerhead" were actually good.
While "Uncle Peckerhead" was watchable enough, it just ended up as being an overall mediocre movie experience. Which was a shame, because there definitely was a lot of potential to the movie. It had a lot of ingredients for being a great horror comedy, but it was just not to be.
My rating of "Uncle Peckerhead" lands on a five out of ten stars.
