Pumpkinhead 4 - Blood Feud - Lame addition to the franchise

Eek, where to begin? Just don't bother. If you like low budget horror films then watch the first Pumpkinhead. This one offers nothing new and is just terrible.

I try to be a little more constructive, but it's just bad, bad, bad.

It reunites Lance Henriksen with the franchise. The film-makers obviously think that his name will entice people back to the story. And it worked... with me. I still think he's a great actor with amazing screen presence. However, he's not in this film enough to save it.

It's about a load of hillbillies. You won't care about any of them (even those meant to be sympathetic). They resurrect the demon Pumpkinhead. He kills people. Rinse and repeat.

It's a pity this film is so bad because Pumpkinhead himself still looks pretty cool. It's like the film-makers spent so much money on a decent-looking monster that they forgot to employ a competent writer. Shame.

1/10 This might as well have been written, directed and produced by Uwe Boll
