One of the Worst Films I've ever seen
Compared to the original Pumpkinhead, this sequel is an abomination.
I found this film at Wal-Mart, located in the $5 dollar bin in a 4-pack collection. I remember cherishing the original for it's dark, subtle atmosphere and Stan Winston's creature effects. It looked amazing. A truly great special effects horror film. My first thoughts upon seeing the title "Pumpkinhead 2: Blood Wings", I wasn't sure what to expect, especially if it was bundled with three other films, all of them I also found to be a piling heap of sh*t (Leprechaun, Wishmaster, Wishmaster 2). I wasn't expecting it to be nearly as good as the original, but at least along the lines of a decent sequel, such as Critters 2.
Oh Sh*t I was wrong...
From the first ten minutes into the movie, I knew the next 86 minutes wouldn't exactly be a "happy ride". Not like I was hoping it be anyways.
As the film further progressed, it managed to hit all the character cliche's, bad acting, horrible directing, hideous cinematography, and gaping plot holes DEAD ON. And it was especially NOT up to par from what I was expecting from KNB Effects. It made Curse of the Puppet Master look like masterpiece of modern cinema(BTW, The Curse of the Puppet Master was *beep* HORRIBLE)
The movie tries too hard to be something that it's not. I mean, what is it trying to represent? Definently NOT the first entry in the series, that's for damned sure.
It was truly one of the worst films I've ever experienced. And I'm absolutely positive many of you think the same. Hell, just to think, The *beep* SY-FY Channel, responsible for films such as Mega Pirahna and Shark Attack, made better *beep* entries to the Pumpkinhead saga. EPIC FAIL!
It totally *beep* up my night.
