Movie Reviews of Pumpkinhead 4 - Blood Feud
Movie Review: The closest thing to the original
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie was pretty good but not great, the cgi is pretty lame but other than that this film works. It's way better than part 2 and 3. HOpefully soon Pumpkinhead is on its way to getting a even better film. AT least this film was a step in the right direction.Movie Review: ROMEO, JULIET & PUMPKINHEAD.
Summary: 3 Stars
Having been a fan of the original PUMPKINHEAD i've been extremely disappointed with the so-called sequels. JEFF BURR's (1994) BLOOD WINGS and JAKE WEST's (2006) ASHES TO ASHES. Both had me wishing i could contact the hag and resurrect PUMPKINHEAD myself, for making me sit this pile of crap.
But MICHAEL HURST's BLOOD FEUD is different. The basic storyline is that of ROMEO and JULIET. Two long feuding families find themselves forced together, when one of thier own resurrects PUMPKINHEAD to avenge the death of his sister, but also so he and his estarnged love can be together, (by killing off the rest of her family. Ahh true love)
Although the film is very sterio-typical, and plods along from A to B, it is still an competant piece of work, the death scenes are bloody and gruesome, as you'd expect from a striaght to DVD released film, but why this film works is PUMPKINHEAD. He stands, quite literally, head and shoulders above everyone else and more to the point he looks great, even in broad daylight.
MICHAEL HURST will never be an ANTHONY HICKOX (WAXWORK, WARLOCK THE ARMAGEDDON) but he knows what looks good and what looks crap. The C.G.I. in the film is awful, but HURST seems to acknowledge this and uses it rearly, a wise choice.
PUMPKINHEAD: BLOOD FEUD was never going to win any Oscar's but at least someone has finally realised, 19 years later, why people love and buy these films, for PUMPKINHEAD of course.
PUMPKINHEAD is big, mean, ugly and doesn't take any crap off anybody, just as we like him.
Long may he stay that way.
Movie Review: Good Flick
Summary: 3 Stars
What we have here Kiddies is the story of a backwoods family feud over a car that has been going on since the 1940s and now two family members are in love but they can't be together because of the feud and just when you think that we have the story of Romeo and Juliet some of the brothers on the girl's side are responsible for the death of the boy sister and they also roughed him up and he naturally calls the famous vengeance Demon.
despite the fact that he is warned by the ghost of Lance Henrickson against it.
This was another good sequel once again taking place in the same area that the first film took place despite the fact that it was more than likely filmed in Romania.
I liked most of the characters. despite the feeling of taking place in the 1940s then I remembered that this is in the back woods areas and some of them are like that. Those of you that have been to Arkansas you know what I mean...OK Arkansas isn't that bad but you get the picture.
Back to the point. The characters were all likable the ones that aren't to likable are the first ones to go at the hands of Pumpkinhead but all in all the flick was pretty good and the shooting editing and acting was good for a direct to DVD flick
Don't expect too much from the Extras on the DVD just your basic SCI-FI DVD.

Movie Review: Best sequel yet...for what that's worth
Summary: 3 Stars
It's no mistake that anyone who's ever seen the first of this series always mentions it when discussing the sequels. The first film was original and the effects were done before CGI became commonplace at even low-budget levels, so the monster was genuinely firghtening and oter-worldly. It was a smart film for the genre, and the acting was better than average.
The sequels have been abysmal, but this one is probably the best of the lot. It has an interesting premise, marrying the genuine American folklore of the Hatfields and McCoys with the engaging original beast. The story is a little overwrought, the CGI - when used - is laughable, and when CGI isn't used there's too much of the monster revealed so you see it for the rubber suit it is. It's enough to make you wonder why they didn't just use the far better lighting/marionnette techniques of the original - it certainly had to be cheaper, if more work. In the original, PH was impossibly designed. Using a guy in a suit - even on sicks - just looks like a guy in a suit. The too-many full-body, broad daylight shots of the creature don't help matters.
But in the end, it's certainly better than a lot of its ilk, and it's over-the-top with the kills, if you're into that sort of thing.
Movie Review: No family can stop Pumpkinhead
Summary: 3 Stars
Pumpkinhead: Blood Feud, while it exactly don't pick up where the last movie left off, though that there are still the witch Haggis along with the ghost of Ed Harley that make a come back in this Pumpkinhead movie. Although that the story revolves around the old feud between the McCoys and the Hatfields, while a boy from the McCoys is in love with one of the Hatfield girls, while at first neither side knows about this. They soon find out after a `death' occurs and once again the creature known as Pumpkinhead is called upon by one of the McCoys to take out the Hatfields so he can be in with his girl forever. While that is going on, he seems to be a bit stubborn about is truly happening around him, and when it's too late he finally comes to his senses and does something about what he has done. While the CGI in the movie seemed to be a little better than that in Ashes to Ashes, but it wasn't that good at least for this movie and as for the story I feel that was on par with the first movie. Overall I give this 3.5 stars out of 5.
