Pumpkinhead: Blood Feud (2007)

One of my all time favorites.

Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

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

The first must-see film of the year.

In a Virginia forest village, true love between Ricky McCoy and Jodie Hatfield is sabotaged by their families' long-standing bitter feud. Despite sheriff Dallas Pope's grim warning, actually from bitter experience, it will only eat up his sole, Ricky resorts to vengeance on all standing in his way by appealing to pumpkin-head, a magical forester monster, who unleashes ever greater horror. Pumpkinhead 4: Blood Feud is no masterpiece it has some pretty bad acting and at times the cgi is pretty bad with mostly Henrisken's final sequence where he appears once more as a ghost. Jodie was easily the best character from the film she was kind and cared for both sides and the monster it self was very good i appreciated the fact that they chose to use practical effects instead of some cgi shaky monster but if you expect great plot and acting you will be disappointed but if you see it for what it is a dumb straight to DVD sequel you might actually enjoy it it's definitely better than Halloween III and Nightmare on Elm Street 6 i'll give it an 5.8/10

It was a bit surprising to note that this fourth movie from the Pumpkinhead franchise was the best of the sequels to watch. Not that that means that it was a great movie though but it featured a decent enough story, that stays true to the Pumpkinhead-franchise but is not as predictable and clichéd as its predecessors. The characters are all better and the movie also features a decent enough amount of gore to pleasure the genre-fans.The movie has the same look and feels as the third movie "Pumpkinhead: Ashes to Ashes" and also seems to be shot at the same locations. This isn't a very positive thing though. It got shot in Romania, which is of course nothing like the South of the USA, which made the first Pumpkinhead movie such an atmospheric one.The movie features some pretty good effects, which also provides the movie with some nice gory moments. It also uses the monster at the right moments and it doesn't make the mistake of featuring it as prominently as any of the other earlier sequels.Yet again the movie features Lance Henriksen, who had played the main character almost 20 years prior to this movie, in the first Pumpkinhead movie from 1988, directed by Stan Winston. He also reappeared in "Pumpkinhead: Ashes to Ashes" but his role in that movie was rather small and pointless. In this movie his character doesn't make a totally redundant impression and it's a pleasure to watch him in this movie. It still gives the movie a certain bit of more overall professionality over it, despite its overall obvious low-budget look and feel.A decent enough movie and certainly the best out of the so far three sequels made.5/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

I loved the original P.H. and was somewhat satisfied with Bloodwings (II)and Ashes to Ashes (III), then I saw part IV. Oh boy..... As a Pumpkinghead enthusiast, I did my best to give part 4 as much credit as I could, but it's pretty bad. The wedding reception fight right at the beginning of the film is a horrendous mess for one thing. The Hatfield and McCoy storyline is incomprehensibly stupid and cliché. How did the producers get away with using that tired family feud storyline? Wow, unbelievable. The acting, besides Henrickson, is below average. The plot and script are mind-numbing. The actual editing and cinematography are average, as is the directing. I mean, the movie isn't a total loss. As always: I really enjoy watching Pumpkinhead, I love seeing Haggis the Witch, and like watching Harley's ghost in action. But all three characters had WAY too much screen time. I thought Haggis and Harley would wind up going out to a supper club for an evening bite to eat and drinks, the way the were being so buddy buddy in her cabin. The bottom line is.... Is that I wanted all the characters in this puke fest of a plot line to be dead within 20 minutes of the start of the picture. Where does Sci-Fi get these so called "film production professionals" from anyway!? I could do a better job writing a script stone cold drunk. I'm sure there was a limited budget and everything, but come on! See it if your a fan of the other three, but just once. And then go back and stick to the original two. Shame on you Sci-Fi!!!!

I nearly didn't even bother to rent Pumpkinhead-blood feud since I hated the one before it called Pumpkinhead-ashes ton ashes,and they were made back to back.The only thing I liked about ashes to ashes was Lance Henriksen & returning from the original.I mean even pumpkinhead 2 was better and that one was a flop. The very first pumpkinhead movie back in 1988 was the best one and deserves a proper DVD special feature release.At the very least a cleaned up digital copy in widescreen! But the newest one "blood feud" is a good sequel.I could actually sit through it and enjoy it.The plot was good and it had again disastrous results for the poor bastards that summoned the demon and again ignored Ed Harley's(Henriksen) warning.This one was probably the goriest one in the series so far.The acting was a lot better then I thought it would be after the b-rated ashes to ashes.And even Pumpkinhead looked better and more ferocious then in the other one.
