Movie Reviews of Pumpkinhead 4 - Blood Feud
Movie Review: only for the most devout pumpkinhead fan
Summary: 3 Stars
i'd not be able to call myself a horror fan if i didnt enjoy pumpkinhead, but, and without running the risk of losing my horror fan status, this one is not very good. the special effects are really bad, especially in comparison to the original that worked with much less. the story is annoying, etc. ok for a rental, but don't complain about losing 2 hours of your life.Movie Review: Got My Money's Worth
Summary: 2 Stars
Picked this up for $2.99 at a local video store. I loved the original, so I thought for nostalgia's sake, I'd give it a shot.
"Pumpkinhead" benefitted from the creature and makeup effects of Stan Winston, who also made his directorial debut. It was a spooky ghost story with plenty of atmosphere. The opening scene is still creepily effective.
This, is not that. "Blood Feud" has terrible editing, sound editing, effects...I could go on and on. It's just cringe-worthy to hear all those Romanians try to produce credible southern accents. More often than not, they sound like bad "Forrest Gump" impersonators.
Lance Henriksen returns (did he not see the script? Was the entire budget spent on his role?), as Ed Harley. I thought his character was sent to Hell, but I guess that doesn't matter when you need a familiar face for the 3rd sequel. The character of the witch is back as well, though in less-effective makeup and presence.
Having said all that, I didn't hate it. There are moments that remind me of the original. Obviously, the director did what he could with a limited budget. The creature doesn't look too cheesy, though I suspect they were a little too proud of the costume, as you see it (and it's flaws) all the time!
Basically, it's just a good BAD movie. It made me laugh.

Summary: 2 Stars
Silly plot. Horrible tie to first movie. Goes on and on with same premise of kill the one who calls the monster, but takes for ever to do it. Do not waste your money.
