Fun but ultimately unrealistic. No demon would ever hang with punks and hate metalheads.

"...and soon to be released, two new 7" releases from Turd Toilet."
I'm gonna like this one. My kind of stupid right there ^^^
Splatter-gore, daft jokes, slick production and a slobbering mess of a demon set to a cranking punk rock rollercoaster soundtrack. Shit yeah. This is great fun indeed.
A directorial debut from Matthew John Lawrence, an assistant professor teaching media studies and production at a New Jersey college. The guy has talent... can't wait to see what's next.

Uncle Peck, he found a part time purpose, he helped them out to no end, and even loved those kids. I teared up.
I get it being in anyone's company for too long will squash your spirit. Especially by the end when they are gagged mouth opened and getting shit sprayed.
He lied, I can't hide it however, I thought he was the business. Heck we all have our flaws. Shit what was he do you reckon?
Great band members, a top Uncle figure and a road trip you want to be part of.
Watch!

October Horror 2020, Day 8, challenge #14 - A film with a title containing a word that uses the same letter three or more times
🤘 😍 🤘 😍 🤘 😍 🤘 😍 🤘
That's right, 4.25 stars for UNCLE PECKERHEAD, the feel-good hit of Rocktober! A youtube review described this as "the vibe of a worn denim vest covered with pins," and I'm not sure anything has ever made me want to watch a movie more. It was spot on too, cause this might be my fave Rocktober movie yet! Even more than Death Metal Zombies!
This thing is so damn fun. Wow, a comedy that's actually funny! A horror movie that's actually gory! It's like it's the 80s…

meandering nicecore splatter comedy that needed to be about 20% funnier, weirder and grosser to be really good - its the definition of a "three stars with a heart" movie but im feeling generous today, prob cuz uncle peckerhead himself won me over. def the kinda thing that wins audience appreciation awards at horror cons, for better or worse - a boner gag, occasional goopy gore and dookie/puke spray offset by adorkable geico sitcomedy & stolen simpsons lines (2 in a 30 sec span: "i dont wish you any specific harm" and "i have to go now, my planet needs me") from a trio of polite yet believable punx led by an uptight alyson hannigan type who i think is supposed…

🤘BASED ON A TRUE STORY🤘
Only seconds in and I already love the vibe this is going for! Besides what am I gonna do, not enjoy something called Uncle Peckerhead? Yeah, don't think so.
As if the title didn't give it away already, no surprise, this is a pretty juvenile horror/comedy combo, but this lil' punk flick does the right thing by going SO hard into the stupid, really embracing it that you can't help but laugh. The entire cast of characters are charming as heck with loads of ridiculous, yet well written dialogue, especially the egomaniac dude from the other band. There's HEAPS of gory, blood-spraying, body-mutilaing carnage whenever midnight rolls around and Uncle Peck needs to grab a…

Taking a break from my horror classics with something a little more modern. This was so ridonculous yet surprisingly wholesome at times and I was all for it! The commentary on touring punk bands was on-point and hilarious. Everything felt so elevated and over-the-top, but with lots heart and authenticity. Probably not for everyone but if you’re in the mood for a punk rock splatterfest, then this is just up your alley!

Quick Review
Uncle Peckerhead is charming, silly splatter fun that takes the "road buddy from Hell" template a little too seriously, perhaps for the better when it acts as a grim young adult cautionary tale contrasting the children's "don't take candy from or trust strangers in a white van" kind of thing. Anyway, you see the cool poster with all the blood and the fanged demon guy go "Argghh!" and the name "Uncle Peckerhead" at the bottom of it? Because that sure is what you're going to get in the actual movie, no joke there *lights a cigarette*. Written, directed, and edited by Matthew John Lawrence, Peckerhead is pretty much one of those less than edgy, punk rock-styled indie horror… -
Max: Hey Peck, What do ppl taste like?
Peck(Uncle Peckerhead): Some ppl taste like dogshit and others taste like watermelon sherbert!
Max: Hmm, sounds like a metaphor for humanity.
This was a really fun movie about a struggling punk rock band named Duh who just scored their first tour. Unfortunately their car is jacked up so they hire a roadie named Peckerhead who just so happens to be a funloving, man eating demon! One that needs to feed everynight at midnight.
Equal parts gruesomely gory and hilariously over the top. The best part of this film was great group of leads. The chemistry between the four is palpable. I enjoyed watching them interact with one another throughout the film. There's alot of good hearted fun between the foursome. Not sure how I feel about the ending but overall Uncle Peckerhead is worth a watch.
"I'm really sorry that you're all covered in my dookie"...this movie was silly 🤣🤣

Weekend In The Woods Mini Reviews 5/6
A fledgling punk band named "Duh!" led by an ambitious young woman is having a hard time getting local gigs. They also need a van to transport themselves and their equipment to shows. After posting a bunch of flyers they meet a man who introduces himself as Peckerhead. A kind middle aged man who has the perfect van. He has nothing going on in his life so he offers to be their driver and their roadie. Thrilled, the band accepts his offer. At their first gig they get ripped off and receive a payment of $3. Dejected the band tells Peckerhead and he goes inside to set the promoter straight. When they go…

I feel like this movie should be a lot funnier than it is, given its wild premise; but honestly it feels kind of tame a lot of the time. Don’t get me wrong, there are some great gory scenes, and the use of practical makeup effects is awesome. But overall the film just feels like it’s missing that spark, it’s neither funny nor outrageous enough to make it truly memorable. That being said, it is entertaining and the characters are great. Also, take the monster out of the equation and it is a genuinely realistic take on gig life in a small band.
6/10

You know how sometimes you encounter a person online who has a handle so dumb or off-putting that you steer clear entirely? Come on, all of us have met a “fartbubble69” in our interweb adventures. And like myself, maybe some of you have had to deal with that person or maybe even just felt compelled to allow that person with an unfortunate screen name into our circle, even if only for a moment. Though nine times out of ten that person behaves exactly as you’d expect “fartbubble69” to behave, there’s that one time when the person behind the silly handle somehow transcends it. Rises above. And you find yourself unexpectedly, pleasantly surprised.
Uncle Peckerhead is that one in ten.
