I am house sitting at the moment for some friends of mine, so with pretty much nothing to do, I did what I normally never do: Watched some television.
I can safely call myself a fan of the horror genre, and I admire Lance Henriksen. So, the original Pumpkinhead movie is definitely one of my favorite horror movies.
I saw Ashes To Ashes on Sci-Fi, and was lucky in the fact that it had just started. I sat there, watching it. And realized it was a rather crappy movie. Bad acting, bad directing, bad script, and the demon itself looked pretty weak compared to its theatrical counterparts. What bothered me the most about him was that he wasn't as monstrous looking as the first two films. My favorite traits of his are his long arms and long talons. In this one, his arms are way shorter, and so are his fingers, and his face doesn't look as badass. He expressions are sort of empty, and he seems to be in a hurry. And when he isn't in a hurry, he looks like he's drugged out; expressionless, and bored.
The only reason I give this flick 4 stars is from Ed Harley's ghost, and beside the fact that the demon's appearance is really disappointing, he still kicks some serious hindparts.
Also, one more thing, the computer graphics are so incredibly bad, I felt like I was watching some CG movie from the mid 90s. It seriously looked like it wasn't finished, like it was the first draft on the computer before they put the skin and face features on.
