Plot Outline: Writer/Director Michael Hurst's Sci-Fi Channel sequel to Stan Winston'sclassic horror tale of revenge gone awry has its moments and somedecent gore, but ultimately falls short in comparison to the original.I'm pretty sure the filmmakers weren't trying to make a comedy, but Icaught myself laughing throughout. A family feud started over a caraccident is the basis for this entry into the franchise. The Hatfieldand McCoy families live in a backwoods town with dirt roads, drivepickup trucks, drink moonshine, and kick each others asses every chancethey get. Just when they thought it was safe to hate each other andlive happily ever after, Jodie Hatfield (Amy Manson) and Ricky McCoy(Bradley Taylor) decided to fall in love causing the fit to hit theshan. One night the two lovebirds decide to head out into the woods forsome quality time while Ricky's sister plays lookout, but it just sohappens that on that very night some of the Hatfields accidentally killRicky's sister and catch him and Jodie together. You know what happensnext. Ricky finds his sisters body and decides to pay a visit to Haggisso that he can exact his revenge through the mighty Pumpkinhead. YeHaw! Also, Harley (Lance Henriksen) is back to warn potential damnedsouls against using Pumpkinhead to ease their pain. Which really put akink in the story because Harley is supposed to have called onPumpkinhead years before this story takes place, but the setting andcharacters look like dirty Pilgrims that somehow traveled through timein order to bring the pickup truck back to Plymouth. Then there's theSheriff (Rob Freeman) who has his own ties to the demon and looks likehe belongs in a 70's revenge movie instead of a made-for-cable horrorflick.Some of the gore and special effects were cool, but instead of stickingto the man-in-a-suit way of thinking Hurst used some terrible looking3D shots for certain scenes. One particularly embarrassing shot showsPumpkinhead jumping from tree branches like a badly rendered 3D monkey.The cinematography was exceptional and elevated the quality of themovie quite a bit. The acting was pretty decent also, with theexception of a few poorly executed accents.Family feuds never end well, especially when the families involved inthe feud have to deal with Pumpkinhead. I didn't enjoy every minute ofthis flick, but it was much better than most of the movies the Sci-FiChannel spits out. Maybe it's a sign that the Channel is trying tobring the quality of its movies up to match the quality of its originalseries'. I wouldn't waste any coin on a rental, but if you get thechance to catch a rerun of it on the boob-tube I would say to check itout. It's a not-so-killer-film but it rises slightly above the level oftrash that makes it onto DVD these days. 2 of 3 people found this review helpful.
