Absolutely Fantastic

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

After their blood-feud prevents their love, a man raises the demon Pinhead to kill off his rival's family to save her for himself which drags the rest of his family into the struggle to prevent the creature from finishing it's work.This here was perhaps the best sequel in the franchise and had a ton to love about it. What really gives this one a lot to love is the strong story-line here, with the obvious ploy here about the long-standing blood feud between the two families which gives this one plenty to work with here. The beginning impact of the feud, from the opening introduction of the wedding that degenerates into a full-scale barroom brawl between the family's in grand Western-style tradition, kicks it off nicely while the different incidents between them throughout history that are piled on adds to the whole story that is continually added on into the farther sections of the film that simply fuels the revenge part of the story-line. Almost as much fun as the story-line here is the absolutely fun and over-the-top confrontations here which generates a lot of stellar stalking scenes. The opening chase through the forest chasing after the bikers is really fun generating a few enjoyable scenes, and once it starts in on the vengeance against the family there's a lot more to like here as it features a strong series of shorter ambush attacks on the family. The first sequence of it attacking the two at the moonshine farm that results in some brutal deaths, the absolutely fantastic scenes of it taking out the posse in the woods which feature insanely brutal kills on top of the fun the fun of the psychic connection coming along at the most inopportune places that allows this one plenty to like. The film's two biggest scenes here are where the feud leads to the best moments here with the retribution attack on the house setting it on fire and forcing the rescue that is really thrilling, as they battle against the encroaching flames that gives the scene a lot to really enjoy about it, while the film scores incredibly well with the finale house ambush. With the creature delivering full-on justice to the two family's in grand fashion with tons of utterly brutal gore-drenched kills, some fun encounters and plenty of tense stalking that shows the creature coming along and generating some fun here doling out not just justice to the other family but finishing off the other other side-plots featured here. Along with the brutal and gory kills here, the film's other big positive here is the absolutely amazing looking main creature here as the design is creepy, the suit is superb with lots of details and it never really looks bad here for an overall spectacular-looking creature. These here give this enough to really hold this off against the film's lone flaw. The film is yet another variation on the same them now and really doesn't do anything new, not only with the return character here spelling out the franchise rules without doing anything else, just running through the same story-line without much deviation. Along with a few scant scenes of noticeable CGI, these are the film's true flaws.Rated R: Graphic Language and Graphic Language.

I enjoyed the original Pumpkinhead, but the three sequels are not as good. The best for me was this one, though Ashes to Ashes isn't bad either. Blood Wings was severely lacking for me. What I did like about Blood Feud was that it wasn't too bad visually. The effects are a little better than they were in Ashes to Ashes, the scenery is appropriately eerie as well as looking beautiful and the photography is thankfully not as frenzied. The music is haunting, what ties this movie with the original are used well and while the titular character doesn't show up for at least 40 minutes, while not having the impact he makes in the original, he is at least frightening. Lance Henrikssen is very good, he puts a lot of effort into the role and it shows. However, I was largely uninterested with what was going on until he showed up. The story of the Hatfields and McCoys is clichéd and often unbelievable, and is further hampered by plodding character exposition, and even then the characters felt under-written. The writing is rather trite and sometimes cheesy and most of the acting apart from Henrikssen is poor, sometimes even amateurish. All in all, the best of the three sequels but also could have been much better. 5/10 Bethany Cox

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.

I realize it's a small statistical sampling (8 votes as of this posting), but 5.9 out of 10? I'm giving this movie a 3 and even that's generous. I've tried to watch this movie three times now (the Saturday night 9 p.m. premiere on SciFi Channel, and the Saturday night at 1 a.m. and Thursday night re-broadcasts) and I've fallen asleep all three times before the movie ends. Which leaves me with a laundry list of unanswered questions. For example, is Lance Henriksen that strapped for cash that he has to keep playing supporting roles in these god-awful "Pumpkinhead" sequels? Is Henriksen contractually banned from doing any non-"Pumpkinhead" movies? Can't the creators of this franchise do better than a monster that looks like a geriatric, emaciated "Alien" who walks like he has a stick jammed up his a**? When are the hick characters in these movies going to realize that handguns and rifles don't hurt the "Pumpkinhead?" Why don't they try jamming another stick up this thing's a** instead? And, lastly, are the writers of this movie so creatively challenged that they couldn't come up with names for the two feuding families more original than the Hatfields and the McCoys? While you're at it, why not write a screenplay about a fictional president and name him George Bush? Someday I may have the mental stamina to watch this movie all the way through without drifting off to sleep. Until then, if somebody has the answers, please let me know.
