Reception
'Pitchfork' reviews have been mixed and the movie currently has a rating of 20% on Rotten Tomatoes with an average rating of 2/10, based on 5 reviews. 'The Hollywood Reporter' and 'Los Angeles Times' both criticised the film, which the 'Los Angeles Times' felt was "tediously routine." Horror website Bloody Disgusting was more favorable, stating that "there is still some fun to be had with 'Pitchfork.' The classic slasher formula works for a reason, and the movie does have some of that low-budget charm thats so illusive in this age of digital film." Another horror website, Heaven of Horror, gave it a 3/5 rating and called it "a hardcore horror movie with a few campy elements and some truly awesome moments".
