Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Burkettonhe This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

paulclaassen Instead of cremating the dead, a doctor sells their organs and dumps the bodies in a shed. Pumpkinhead is resurrected to avenge. The film lacks dimension, with poor effects, dialogue and unconvincing acting. The only highlights are the flashbacks from the original film.

redrobin62-321-207311 Let me get this important bit out of the way first: Lance Henriksen was wasted a talent in this film. His cameos were unnecessary and didn't influence the progression of the movie in one iota. That said, it was nice to see a familiar face.The rest of the actors? Not so much. They were basically walking- talking clones from Central Casting. I don't blame them, though. If I had to recite some of their contrite lines on camera I'd have to do take after take as the absurdity of the dialog would have me in stitches.The movie was beautiful to behold, though. Was that a good thing? Yes and no. Horror movies tend to look best when they're gritty, not squeaky clean looking like a sci-fi flick. I was disappointed that, when Pumpkinhead showed up to do his thing, he didn't appear in a fog of smoke and flashing lights ala the first two films. Why they got rid of that for this third installment is beyond me. Partially destroyed the Pumpkinhead mythos if you asked me. At least they seemed to have gotten Haggis right.

udar55 I watched this last night and it is practically a remake of the original. However, I will give the filmmakers credit for actually retaining several characters from the original (the siblings are all the kids of George "Buck" Flower's Wallace character in the first film). Director Jake West - who made the absolutely inept EVIL ALIENS - handles the filming well. Sadly, he doesn't capture Pumpkinhead's towering stance well though, shooting it mostly in close up. On the downside, the actors seem to have never stepped foot in the South. We're talking Gomer Pyle hysterics here. If you look closely, you can actually see Lance Henriksen cashing his check for this one. And there are a few wonky CGI bits.

kclipper I am a long time fan of the original Pumpkinhead. Its dark, moody theme and awesome creature effects by Stan Winston are top notch. Lance Henrickson maintains a good screen presence in the horror genre which leaves this new sequel questionable for fans. For an original T.V. movie, this was entertaining enough and surprisingly gory. Horror icon Doug Bradley (Pinhead) is interesting as a sinister surgeon performing operations on townsfolk in order to sell their organs. When a woman finds that her family was murdered by Bradley and his clan, she summons the demon to get revenge. Plot keeps true to the original, but the creature looks cheap and hokey due to the CGI effects. It really falls flat in comparison, but not bad considering the long wait for a third sequel.
