. While, ~.
Thrown up in the story are some thoughtful questions and a emotional edge, but still it was kinda lacking. The stock characters are reasonably an unlikable bunch, but thank goodness Lance Henriksen gives out a powerful and hypnotic performance that you totally feel his hurt. While, the rest of the cast were modest even if their characters are vague as can be and had very little to work with. Now the other star of the film was the magnificent, but horrific looking demon that's simply grand in stature and hands out punishment with such ease by toying around with it's victims in such a cruel manner.
I have extracted some from one of reviews of "Pumpkinhead" on IMDB.
Before "while" is the period, after "while" is the comma, and the clause following "while" ends with the period.
So I think while is not a conjunction; I'd like to know what ".while," plays the role of.
Thank you in advance for your help.

The paragraph is really badly written. It's not worth analyzing.

I agree, but one can probably find out its intent (in a "literary" style of analysis). The intent was probably to separate the two sentences (for rhythm) which should have been one sentence with "while" as a conjunction. And for that purpose the "while" was used as an adverbial similar to "the while" or "meanwhile". It might be analysed as a clipping or ellipses but is not really correct.
