Review of Uncle Peckerhead

"Uncle Peckerhead" is a laid back character, but this is not a laid back film. In fact, it's way punk. Like, the best part of punk, I mean.

I'm really digging all the punk vibes in the alternative music scene right now, and this film feeds directly into this soul-stirring trend. To be sure, true punk is decidedly anti-commercial but the most interesting aspects of it are very marketable in my opinion.

Uncle Peckerwood is not so marketable as a human being because, well, he's a real life monster BUT he's a damned good friend and a fine roadie. Duh (inside joke). So, this is a road-trip story about a fresh punk band making their first tour with a vagabond van-driver who happens to have a violent quirk or two. Or three. Like, killing people and eating them - but only the ones who deserve it, more or less.

This film is well done. I have no complaints - except for the feces and vomit. Personally, a sound effect is just as good as a visual here, but I tend to be rather squeamish in this regard. Probably, you'll want to watch this film behind a plastic sheet.

But do watch. You won't regret it. Much.
