"Uncle Peckerhead is a blood-soaked, ghastly good time of a road movie"
It’s that same care-free spirit that elevates all of the characters in Uncle Peckerhead. Pair that with several hyperviolent deaths, a hilarious script, and a pitch-perfect cast of lovable weirdos, and you end up with the first must-see horror comedy of 2020.... It’s a small movie, but the heart and soul of Uncle Peckerhead stacks up with the best of them."
"A Character-Driven Horror Comedy Worth Checking Out"
"This movie has a definite Scott Pilgrim vibe, with doses of Toxic Avenger and just a touch of Blues Brothers" Killcount, 9.5; Rating: 9 Peckerheads out of 10
"Uncle Peckerhead is great fun and a must-see!"
"I went into this film with a little bit of trepidation because the title made it sound like another run of the mill “kids go into the hills of Kentucky and get eaten by a redneck cannibal family” flicks. Thankfully, this film was the opposite of that, and I ended up loving every minute of it! It has a wry sense of humor that made it a lot of fun to watch. Peckerhead may be a monster, but he’s a cannibal with a heart of gold… well, almost. I loved the acting in this. David Littleton is brilliant as Peckerhead, and Chet Siegel shines as Judy. It goes without saying that the music in this was pretty badass, as it should be in a film about a band."
"A fun film full of outrageous gore and genuine heart."
"While real bands may never have to contend with man-eating monsters, anyone familiar with the music scene will be pleased to see a little bit of their own experience up there on the screen."
