Oh jeez, not another British horror. You got your mumblers, and you got your obscure slang.
Story goes like this: Old man loves his pumpkin patch. A couple hooligans like to trespass, throw rocks at him, and taunt him with songs (seems like there's a song for everything in this). Anyway, they come back and draw on his pumpkins, the old man keels over, and dumps growing agent into the ground. He re-emerges as some sort of a mutant pumpkin man, who proceeds to kill everyone in sight for the remainder of the movie.
Apparently he's got a lot of land, because he ventures pretty far out to kill trespassers, but then he goes to the pub for more killing, and in the stinger, he's about to kill a trick or treater, out at someone else's house! I think this plot is limited to "Mutant pumpkin man goes on killing spree."
Wow, does this movie have a non-ending. I'm assuming time and/or money factored. It just ENDS. I had to rewind to make sure I didn't miss something. A couple pumpkins roll into the yard? And that means? One kid is cleaning out a pumpkin, and it takes his fingers off. Yep. Killer pumpkins.
I'm not sure what planet they got this quote from, but the box says "Wild, Over the top, and Totally horrifying!" I can safely tell you, three things this movie is NOT, is (1) wild, (2) over the top, OR (3) totally horrifying.
I've boosted my score for pretty much one reason: Pub-maid Pam, played by Dani Thompson. She is one super fox... Who can't act. Her imdb profile photo is re-donk-u-lous. Oh, they do throw in a couple meta remarks. Yeah, I'm easy to please, though Pumpkins offers very, very little to the slasher genre.

Modern slash
Maria Lee Metheringham writes, directs and acts in this tale of a murderous Pumpkin Man who kills anyone who steals his pumpkins. Yes, that's pretty much the entire tale.
He's born when an elderly man who loves to grow award-winning pumpkins finds his patch ruined and has a heart attack. As he dies, the glowing green syrum he feeds his pumpkins bonds him with his favorite plant.
By the middle point of the film, the pumpkins are even being controlled by the slasher villain. Everyone that was dumb enough to be in his woods pays for it with their lives.
This isn't a movie that will einvent slashes, but it's fun.
Don't waste your time
I found it to be tedious and boring. It could have been a great slasher. There was not much gore and the storyline was non existent.
