Several years after Pumpkinhead tore, slashed, and gutted it's way to revenge, it is called to vengeance once more. This time after a small town realized the grisly truth of their local doctor.
The Pros: Lance Henriksen's presence is welcomed, albeit it must be the corny 'from beyond the grave' plot device. Also, Doug Bradley gives a fine performance as the mischievous doctor. Some decent kills (not nearly enough, however) The Cons: Shot in Romania, some poor, poor acting is on display here. Also, the film's plot suffers in a non-linear fashion. We're never quite sure where it's going...or is it that we don't care.
What could have the potential to be the rejuvenation of a franchise instead turns out to be on par with the same movie-of-the-week drivel that the Sci-Fi channel keeps dishing out. Good to see some good actors working, however.
