![]() ![]() ![]() The best scenes feature Henriksen, who is always good, playing a ghostly conscience haunting Bunt, and the scenes with the monster, who in this film seems to be partly full-body suit and partly CGI. And once again, the message is that, once you let Pumpkinhead out, you have to let him do his work until he's finished. It's not long before the creature is wrecking havoc on the the bad guys, and even good guys that get in the way. But several of the kin of the dead people go to the old witch lady and ask for a reckoning for their kinfolk in the form of Pumpkinhead. When his cohorts are arrested after the discovery of bodies in and around the local crematorium, the doc does his best to cover his butt. Doug Bradley, Pinhead from the "Hellraiser" films, shows up as the town's doctor, who secretly harvests organs from recently-deceased town folk to sell to a local connection. This one follows the first film's straight-up revenge theme better. It's good they forgot about the second film, which featured Bill Clinton's brother as Mayor Bubba! It fairly stunk. The main connections are Lance Henrikson as Ed Harley (albeit in corpse-turned-Pumpkinhead form and ghost form) and the characters of Bunt (who was a young teen boy helping out the good guys in the first film) and the old witch lady who oversees the manifestations of the title creature. This sequel does an end-around "Pumpkinhead 2:Bloodwings" and plays as a direct follow-up to the first film. As the demon Pumpkinhead rises to claim the lives of all who took part in the abominable scheme, the eccentric town physician who masterminded an illegal organ donor business makes it his mission to murder any and all who played a part in unleashing the murderous monster. ![]() Infuriated by the horrific desecration endured by the dearly departed, the residents of the town seek out a local witch with the power to resurrect the demon of vengeance. A small backwoods community has discovered that the local mortician has been cutting corners by dumping the bodies of their loved ones in a nearby swamp as opposed to cremating them as promised. ![]()
