redrobin62-321-207311 Man, oh man. Was this dreadful! I could sit here and list the hundreds of ways this redneck version of Romeo & Juliet blew chunks, but I'd be here forever. And shame on Lance Henricksen for even showing up in this lame movie.To say that the characters on portray were as dumb as bricks is just an insult to bricks. One family of moonshine-swilling rednecks shows up to burn down their enemy's house with Molotov cocktails and no one thinks of bringing a gun just in case the family who is getting their house burned to the ground gets angry? Fight fire with...fists?And what is with this lame business that, whenever Pumpkinhead announces his arrival, people just sit around screaming and waiting for him to arrive and behead them, or eviscerate them, or whatever he feels like doing at the moment? Get out, dammit! You have to be told? Ridiculous.As a matter of fact, that enclave only has one lawman? The rednecks have trucks. Why stick around for Pumpkinhead when you're aware he's practically invincible? But you stick around, shoot him with shotgun shells a few times, and when that fails, attack him with your fist like you're Muhammad Ali? I could go on and on but this move was just inept and stupid; just a quick buck for the studio to capitalize off the Pumpkinhead name. Man, I hate sequels.

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.

Boba_Fett1138 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/

Claudio Carvalho In spite of the long feud between the Hatfields and the McCoys because of a car accident, Jodie Hatfield (Amy Manson) and her boyfriend Ricky McCoy (Bradley Taylor) love each other and are planning to leave their families and move to another place. During the night, after the Hatfields having trashed a McCoy wedding, Jodie sneaks out from her house to meet Ricky, while his young sister Sara (Maria Roman) looks out for them. However, Jodie is followed and they are found together in the woods by Jodie's brothers Bobby Joe (Ovidiu Niculescu) and Billy Bob (Elias Ferkin) that accidentally kill Sara. Ricky seeks revenge, going to the house of the witch of the woods Haggis (Lynne Verrall) that summons Pumpkinhead to kill all the Hatfields except Jodie. When his vengeance is set in motion, the Hatfields are attacked by the demon in a bloodshed night."Pumpkinhead: Blood Feud" uses the forbidden romance between a young couple of two families in permanent feud and a tragic love story like in Romeo and Juliet to bring back the powerful demon Pumpkinhead in another bloodshed. This television movie is not as bad as indicated in many reviews; actually I liked the enjoyable story and I found it underrated with the 4.5 IMDb Rating. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Pumpkinhead 4: Maldição Sangrenta" ("Pumpkinhead 4: Bloody Curse")
