ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

GL84 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.

Sandcooler This fourth entry in the "Pumpkinhead"-saga (damn, that's kind of a depressing thing to write) finally goes for the element we've all been waiting for in this series: a Romeo and Juliet storyline. This movie provides us with an important lesson: if there's one thing that can truly express how much you really love a girl, it's by summoning a demon and instructing it to kill her entire family. Duely noted. Other than that the movie doesn't really provide much new, but it's entertaining and gory and just good enough for a lazy evening. It all seems to be in good fun, even the scene where the monster advances on a dude in a wheelchair is suspiciously humorous. The highlights of the movie are Lance Henriksen's interventions though, when it comes to delivering random wise-sounding monologues in rarely-seen genre movies he can't really be topped. Overall "Blood Feud" is a decent sequel, nothing less nothing more.

Scarecrow-88 The Hatfields and McCoys are two rival families who have been at each others throats since Uncle Abner(a Hatfield)was hit by a car(driven by reckless joyriding McCoys)confining him to a wheelchair..to fuel the ongoing feud, the McCoys didn't provide the motorcar they promised to deliver because of the incident. When Ricky McCoy's sister is killed while running from Tommy and Bob Joe Hatfield, he'll conjure the Pumpkinhead demon to seek revenge. In true Romeo and Juliet fashion, Ricky McCoy(Bradley Taylor) loves Jodie Hatfield(Amy Manson) and such a forbidden courtship leads to inevitable consequences as does the summoning of Pumpkinhead. As the Pumpkinhead demon dispatches McCoys, Ricky's soul is slowly "eaten away". Meanwhile, the damned spirit of Ed Harley(Lance Henriksen, with a more substantial role in this film than the previous entry in the series)tries to talk the witch out of allowing Ricky to summon the Pumpkinhead, and, when that isn't successful, attempts to warn Jodie of the acts set in motion and what she must do to rectify the unfortunate state of affairs which will take away all those she loves. Because of his love for her, Jodie is exempt, it seems, from the fate of her brothers. Everything just escalates; tensions intensify as those Hatfields which remain seek to get vengeance for their fallen brethren.The Pumpkinhead series perhaps comes to an end as Ed Harley is able to contribute mightily in ending the demon's reign of terror by convincing Jodie to make a devastating choice under strenuous circumstances. Like the other films in the series, the Pumpkinhead demon will not stop until all that are marked are killed so the source will have to be taken care of before it can be vanquished. This could've been called THE PUMPKINHEAD MASSACRE as the demon monster has plenty of victims to rip apart and destroy. The Pumpkinhead series is a nice throwback to the rubbersuited creature features of yore, but I'm not sure why this particular film has such poor hick characters living in Depression era conditions. By all rights, this is set in a modern setting years after Ed Harley conjured the Pumpkinhead, but, for some reason, the film takes place in a western-like town, with surrounding wilderness. It was nice to see Henriksen given more than just a five minute part, his role, Ed Harley condemned to live "between two worlds never to ever see his son for the calling of the Pumpkinhead", extended past "paycheck status". Lots of men crushed, mangled, with their guts spilling out, heads crushed, and tossed about like pillows. I think the oft-used "family feud" plot is played out and tired, but such a premise does seem sensible for the classic Pumpkinhead tragedy, always a factor in every film in the series, where innocents are sacrificed due to a hunger for revenge. We know that once a death takes place, the Pumpkinhead will be called by someone in a moment of blinded rage, and it will not end well for the person who summoned the demon from hell or those marked. The witch is a grotesque sight and the Pumpkinhead creature is as ugly and menacing as ever. Still, I reckon Pumpkinhead's time is up and there's really nothing left to do with Stan Winston's monster..time to retire and let it's bones rest. Rob Freeman has a part as the sheriff, Dallas Pope, who shares a history with the Pumpkinhead demon, and his role in the hit and run accident which left a woman for dead, will be justified(often visited by Harley, who reminds him of what awaits)."We are what we do."

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.
