Movie Reviews of Pumpkinhead 4 - Blood Feud
Movie Review: The Hatfields and the McCoys meet their true rival, Pumpkinhead
Summary: 4 Stars
Pumpkinhead is back for the forth time, straight to dvd and better then ever (except for his first appearance). After pretty weak reviews for Pumpkinhead: Ashes to Ashes this installment has seemed to add a little hope that they can still pump out something decent in the series. It appears the producers decided to keep the revenge slayings to a maximum to keep viewers from falling asleep half way through. This one was bloody for sure, hence the title Blood Feud.
The story starts with the well known intense feud between the Hatfields and McCoys. Jodie Hatfield and Ricky McCoy are the only two between the families that have put rivalries behind due to their love for each other. With no end in sight they decide leave town so they can enjoy their relationship without the constant family feuding (not the game show type). So late one night after the Hatfields crashed a McCoy wedding Jodie sneaks away with Ricky while his sister Sara keeps a look out. Despite their efforts they are found in the woods by Jodie's brothers and Sara winds up being killed. Ricky being enraged consults the witch and summons Pumpkinhead who wastes no time ripping people apart. The fury is unleashed on the Hatfields in one non stop bloody mess.
As we've seen our fourth appearance of Pumpkinhead it is now evident we will see much more CGI and much less of the true creature himself. Hey things change overtime so you just roll with it. None the less the film is really fun and entertaining. It's by far the best sci-fi channel original they've put out yet to date. Like in other reviews I've done for the series I can only recommend this to the Pumpkinhead fans. I'd think most people who like horror will get a kick out of Blood Feud, but if you're not into the Pumpkinhead idea you probably won't enjoy this one.
Movie Review: Pumpkin Soup
Summary: 4 Stars
Despite its failings, I enjoyed this disc. As soon as I heard about it, I put it on my must have list, and basically bought it because of Lance Henrikson's name.The sub-title, Blood Feud, out me in mind of the Sequel, which is a bit of a dog to watch, but still has some good creature FX. And the FX in this seem to be mostly practical, however so much CGI is seamless, there could be lots, but on what I suspect the budget is, I doubt. Whatever the budget is or was, it was not spent on ADR. Some scenes have been re-dubbed in the worst manner. This having been said, the elements of the occult, the full on appearance of the Demon, and some fleshing out of the Mythos provide some great material. Like the First film, its Lance who has the core of this film, even if he does only appear in a few scenes.The Attacks and the makeup work is first rate.Whomever they used for that did a great job.
THE DVD: The audio is fairly good. On a 5.1 sound systtem its excellent. However, the film is all you get. With one of Horrors iconic actors in an iconic role, you would think that some thought for extras might have been at the very least looked into. But, I had a blast watching the film. For me, Lance made this film, but hell, I'm a Lance Henrikson fan. I just wish that the producers of some films will stop short changing fans, and if they produce B class films, at least provide a ton of extras to make up the difference.I also wish that the ratings "bored" would stop with the idiocy; I see more violence on a news cast, and thats saying something, given that this film is fairly full on.
Movie Review: Pumpkinhead 4- is even better than part 3!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Pumpkinhead 4 should of gone to theaters but was sent to sci-fi channel insted
Plot- a basic rip-off of romeo and juliet but it had pumpkinhead and the Hatfield and McCoy's!
Acting- a lot better than part 2 or 3
Gore- crushed heads, knife to the mouth, head popped in bear trap, impalemetns, half a neck bitten off, guts, a spine punched out, blood splatter and a lot more (easily the goriest of the series)
Bottom Line- 4 out of 5
Rated R for strong horror violence and gore, Time 95min, 2007, Color
Movie Review: Surprisingly good
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw Ashes to Ashes (3rd in the Pumpkinhead series) and thought it was pretty awful. But I just couldn't resist this one. It has an interesting premise with the Hatfields and McCoys. The picture quality was amazing, combined with some nice gore and a storyline I haven't seen in the horror genre before. It's always nice to see the witch, and even though Ed Harley is only in a handful of scenes, its very effective. Hell, this movie even has a moral. Overall, if your looking for a Halloween treat, this will do well.Movie Review: This has the right feel...
Summary: 4 Stars
After PUMPKINHEAD 3, I wasn't sure what to expect. And, there are rough edges to this new offering. But, the ghost of Ed Harley--Lance Henriksen--made this new film come alive for me. There are several scenes with Henriksen that remind all of us of two things: 1) the depth Lance has an actor; and 2) his ability to underscore again and again the deadend of revenge. If you care about horror as a genre of moral fable, then you should see this. Lance, thanks again!
