Well, the further they ventured into this franchise, the further the story started to veer from the original core essence of the original 1988 movie.
And this 2007 fourth movie in the series titled "Pumpkinhead: Blood Feud" was at the threshold of starting to slip fully away from the franchise, as it was mostly just a family feud movie with a "Pumpkinhead" label pulled down over it.
Writer and director Michael Hurst just didn't manage to capture the essence of the Pumpkinhead lore and was drifting away from the horror aspect of the franchise, and started to venture into a drama and family feud zone, where the movie was suffering terribly. Yeah, "Pumpkinhead: Blood Feud" just didn't feel as an appropriate addition to the franchise. It sort of started to mutate into an animocity that no longer resemble the core essence, just as what happened to the countless "Hellraiser" movies that brought the franchise further and further out of touch with what the fans enjoyed.
Sure, it was nice to see Lance Henriksen return to reprise the role of Ed Harley, of course it was. But he was not the main actor in the movie. But I will say that they actually had a fair enough ensemble of talents to portray the various roles and characters in "Pumpkinhead: Blood Feud".
Visually then "Pumpkinhead: Blood Feud" was adequate. There were some pretty terrible effects here and there, but overall was adequate. However, the Pumpkinhead creature was having less on-screen time in this fourth movie in comparison to previous movies, and that was a shame.
Yeah, "Pumpkinhead: Blood Feud" is watchable, but it is a very forgettable addition to the franchise.
My rating of "Pumpkinhead: Blood Feud" lands on a generous four out of ten stars.
