Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Coventry Presumably due to a severe shortage of inspiration and creativity amongst the newer generation of filmmakers, quite a lot of 80's and early 90's horror film franchises were picked up during the 00's. Most of them simply got remade, but some franchises suddenly received two or more belated sequels that nobody ever asked for. Seemingly overnight, there came new entries in popular 80's horror franchises like "Sleepaway Camp", "Return of the Living Dead" and "Pumpkinhead". The latter film is a modest genre classic, directed by the late Stan Winston, and introducing a unique type of demon that extracts bloody vengeance in your place! Nearly twenty years after the original, there are two new installments entitled "Ashes to Ashes" and this "Blood Feud". "Blood Feud" is basically a reworking of William Shakespeare's famous tale of "Romeo & Juliet", but with a hideous demon thrown in. Jodie Hatfield and Ricky McCoy are two hopelessly-in-love teenagers, but their love is forbidden because of an ancient family feud. When a couple of Jodie's hillbilly brothers kill Ricky's younger sister, he takes her dead body to the local witch Haggis and demands the resurrection of Pumpkinhead. In spite of all warnings coming from Ed Harley, who's restless ghost is still dwelling around after all these years, the humongous demon comes to life and promptly goes on a devastating killing spree. Apart from the horribly clichéd and implausible family feud story, this is actually a rather enjoyable horror movie. The titular demon still looks impressive and there are a couple of truly engrossing massacres to behold, for example when one of the characters tries to amputate his own leg with a switchblade knife because he's stuck in a bear trap and Pumpkinhead is approaching. There's plenty of action and even suspense to make you forget the imbecilic plot and inferior acting performances. Lance Henriksen walks around the film purposelessly, but I guess it's good marketing to be able to display his name on the DVD box.

donny-42 Writer/Director Michael Hurst's Sci-Fi Channel sequel to Stan Winston's classic horror tale of revenge gone awry has its moments and some decent gore, but ultimately falls short in comparison to the original.I'm pretty sure the filmmakers weren't trying to make a comedy, but I caught myself laughing throughout. A family feud started over a car accident is the basis for this entry into the franchise. The Hatfield and McCoy families live in a backwoods town with dirt roads, drive pickup trucks, drink moonshine, and kick each others asses every chance they get. Just when they thought it was safe to hate each other and live happily ever after, Jodie Hatfield (Amy Manson) and Ricky McCoy (Bradley Taylor) decided to fall in love causing the fit to hit the shan. One night the two lovebirds decide to head out into the woods for some quality time while Ricky's sister plays lookout, but it just so happens that on that very night some of the Hatfields accidentally kill Ricky's sister and catch him and Jodie together. You know what happens next. Ricky finds his sisters body and decides to pay a visit to Haggis so that he can exact his revenge through the mighty Pumpkinhead. Ye Haw! Also, Harley (Lance Henriksen) is back to warn potential damned souls against using Pumpkinhead to ease their pain. Which really put a kink in the story because Harley is supposed to have called on Pumpkinhead years before this story takes place, but the setting and characters look like dirty Pilgrims that somehow traveled through time in order to bring the pickup truck back to Plymouth. Then there's the Sheriff (Rob Freeman) who has his own ties to the demon and looks like he belongs in a 70's revenge movie instead of a made-for-cable horror flick.Some of the gore and special effects were cool, but instead of sticking to the man-in-a-suit way of thinking Hurst used some terrible looking 3D shots for certain scenes. One particularly embarrassing shot shows Pumpkinhead jumping from tree branches like a badly rendered 3D monkey. The cinematography was exceptional and elevated the quality of the movie quite a bit. The acting was pretty decent also, with the exception of a few poorly executed accents.Family feuds never end well, especially when the families involved in the feud have to deal with Pumpkinhead. I didn't enjoy every minute of this flick, but it was much better than most of the movies the Sci-Fi Channel spits out. Maybe it's a sign that the Channel is trying to bring the quality of its movies up to match the quality of its original series'. I wouldn't waste any coin on a rental, but if you get the chance to catch a rerun of it on the boob-tube I would say to check it out. It's a not-so-killer-film but it rises slightly above the level of trash that makes it onto DVD these days.

hstephen138 Well they've done it again a new pumpkin head film, the first pumpkin head film was perfect for its time, a dumb, gory, and clichéd monster flick. so heres how it goes, some one loses their loved one, goes to the witch in the woods, gets her to raise pumpkin head and have it murder everyone responsible. unfortunately the film makers have deemed it irrelevant to try and do any other than this, for the films fourth outing, deeming it far more suitable to add some lame romeo and Juliet sub plot, involving an idiotic family feud (over a car!!!!) and surprise surprise some gory pumpkin head slayings, so far so formulaic, but it doesn't stop there the acting talent in this flick is dire...oh so bad half of them can't even keep up a southern accent without slipping into their native and often posher accents. Lance henrikssen is on board so surely he would bring some gravitas to the movies proceedings...but no lance merely ambles on screen lets the words fall out mouth with absolutely no emotion or seemingly direction, and walks off again, i honestly think he just turned up for the money, then went off to his trailer to drunk and reminisce about aliens.this film is utter cack there is no redeeming feature other than it ending credits which signal its all over.despite the failings of ph:bf...if you want a no brainer that'll make you laugh for all the wrong reasons watch it.if you want something with abit more meat and originality avoid.

ChiefGoreMongral Pumpkinhead, the name alone sends fond memories of the late 80's early 90's when there was still a few good horror movies coming out. Then we got into the Scream era and things got real schlocky. Things we are still trying to recover from as horror fans but anyway that is another issue. The original Pumpkinhad though not a great film still managed to put one of the wildest monsters ever created on the silver screen and though the movie was marginal the monster alone saved it from mediocrity.In comes this the 4th installment to the Pumpkinhead series, Blood Feud. while part one was decent 2 and 3 were not so fortunate and with the 4th I really questioned if anyone could at least make a mediocre monster flick with ol' PH in it. At its onset we start with some killing and Pumpkinhead which is always a good thing if you ask me, then we get to the opening portions of the "story". We begin with a wedding celebration that gets ruined by a feuding family, sounds like the Hatfields and McCoys right well the cheesy thing is IT IS!!!! For some reason of shear lunacy the writer, director and all involved agreed to give the feuding families these names. Once I hears that I began to laugh at how corny and cheesy that is, let alone totally unoriginal. Well after an accidental death and someone calling up Pumpkinhead for revenge we get back to some killing which does happen frequently especially toward the end. It is this reason that I can say that saves Pumpkinhead: Blood Feud and makes for one of the more entertaining Sci-Fi Channel movies I have seen.One thing that Sci-Fi for the most part has been liberal with is the gore and they did a nice job here, from bear trap head crushing to Human head stomping there are some nice gruel being thrown around here, not to mention Lance Henriksen reprising his roll of Ed Harley, as a tortured spirit who tried to warn others of the true cost of summoning the demon. Also the last 20 minutes we get a final stand of sorts that has a nice body count by the time it ends.Though P:BF will not earn points for originality and that crappy decision to name the families Hatfield and Mc Coy I was entertained by this one. The CGI is kept to a minimum and I would have liked to have seen it none at all but compared to the previous installment they did do a lot better job of sidestepping the CGI and only using it in the dark sequences. Old school monster fans will like that this one for about 90% of the time is all man in suit style effects which again saves it from another damaging mark I have against Sci-Fi Channel movies, Crappy CGI.In the end if you want a monster film with a better than average body count and you can forgive the movie for its shortcomings I would say give this one a shot. The monster FX are handled well and the kill scenes were rather nice. I give Pumpkinhead: Blood Feud: 5/10: a middle of the road example of monster action which is better than I was expecting. Monster Fans give it a shot you may very well enjoy this more than you thought you would.
