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

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

(Credit to Parca Mortem on IMDb) After a group of teenagers indirectly cause an old witch to be burned, they accidentally revive Pumpkinhead. This time Pumpkinhead is inhabited by the soul of a deformed orphan killed 30 years before. He goes on a bloody rampage after his tormentors and the teenagers. Meanwhile, a local sheriff tries to solve the mystery and stop the murders.I know Pumpkinhead has a lot of fans, but I'm not one of them. I wasn't looking forward to this sequel. With how awful this sequel is, I'll watch the original over this one any day of the week. Not only is it very stupid, but rather dull as well. There were too many random killings as well. We get severed limbs, blood splashes, and more. The monster is really rubbery looking. He wasn't very threatening at all. Amazingly enough, we get a great horror cast. The performances are OK, but almost everyone is unlikable. Ami Dolenz is cute and makes a decent female lead. J. Trevor Edmond annoyed me. It's always fun to see Andrew Robinson in a role, but I disliked his character. I can't forget about the gorgeous, Soleil Moon Frye either.If you're gonna watch any of the Pumpkinhead movies, stick with the original. This is followed by two crappy straight to video sequels. 3.4/10

I really wanted to like Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings. I thoroughly enjoyed the original Pumpkinhead, and while not expecting the same quality I was expecting it to be at least watchable. What a shame! Blood Wings does have its redeeming qualities, Andrew Robinson's performance is nicely understated and the scenery is beautiful and eerie. However, at the end of the day I saw no point to Blood Wings. None of the sequels are as good as the original but Ashes to Ashes and Blood Feud for me were hugely flawed but more watchable mainly because Lance Henrikssen was in them. The music score had a real eeriness in the original and in the other two sequels, but doesn't add anything to the atmosphere here, coming across as rather cheesy and overbearing instead. The dialogue is often stilted and contrived and the characters are clichéd and have no likability or believability at all(the character of Paul is just pointless). While the story, the fact that it has no connection whatsoever to the first aside from the character of Pumpkinhead, is plodding in pace and predictably told further hampered with sacrificing suspense and any real sense of horror with gratuitous gore and violence as well as the most haphazard camera work of either of the four movies. The killings may be more savage in Blood Wings but have no impact otherwise. Pumpkinhead gave me the creeps in the original, but his movements here lack fluidity and he comes across as too ruthless at times. His actor does his best but fails to convey the sense of creepiness and dread so effortlessly done by Lance Henrikssen. The rest of the acting is amateurish. Overall, a sequel that is not among the worst- unlike the likes of Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2, Home Alone 4, NeverEnding Story 3 and Secret of NIMH 2- but among the most pointless. 3/10 Bethany Cox

Sheriff Sean Braddock (Andrew Robinson), his wife, and his daughter Jenny (Ami Dolenz) have moved back to his childhood home of Ferrin Woods from big, bad New York City, where Jenny got into trouble. She quickly falls in with the wrong crowd again and soon she and beau Danny (J. Trevor Edmond) are riding around town with their headlights off. Crazy kids! This causes them to hit ol' witch Miss Ossie and, when they go to check on her, they end up resurrecting ol' monster Pumpkinhead, who has a score to settle with some town folks. This direct-to-video follow-up saw poor director Jeff Burr doing his third sequel in a row (following THE STEPFATHER II and THE Texas CHAIN SAW MASSACRE III). Not really much worthwhile in this one. You'll probably get a laugh of the opening credit "Roger Clinton as Mayor Bubba." Unfortunately, this crew doesn't even have the brains to have him make a joke like, "You better solve these murders Sheriff or I'll give a call to my big brother." C'mon, really? The incredible monster from the first film gets redesigned by KNB here and it is not for the better, looking much more like a man in a suit. Look for horror icons Linnea Quigley and Kane Hodder in small roles. It would be 12 years before Pumpkinhead came back in two direct-to-SyFy sequels that were actually worse than this.

Pumpkinhead II may not be one of the worst movies I've ever seen, but it really does make you ask why was it made.First off, let me point out that I'm a huge fan of the original Pumpkinhead, it has great atmosphere, brilliant SFX, little to no gore (BTW, I don't believe that gore makes a good horror film), and great acting, especially from Lance Henriksen. the sequel on the other hand, well.Like everyone else, I hate how they ignored the first film, especially how Pumpkinhead is now a generic slasher villain instead of a demon who kills for vengeance.I also didn't like how the demon itself is never called Pumpkinhead, in fact, it's called Tommy throughout the whole flick. I think it's because of the fact that after Tommy died (He was killed by 1950's Christian auto-bullies), his spirit went into the body of Pumpkinhead after some teens decide to resurrect him. Which raises the question how stupid and bored do you have to be to think, OK gang, let's bring an angry spirit back to life?As for the SFX, they're passable, but not as fantastic as Stan Winston's effects from the first film. At least it's better than CGI though. The acting was standard, but I give high praise for Andrew Robinson's performance.In the end though, if they made the demon look different and just simply call it Bloodwings, it wouldn't be the greatest horror movie, but it would be better than what we got instead. The movie itself is just OK, i don't have too many praises or complaints with it, I don't recommend it a whole lot, but hey at least it's BETTER than 3 and 4. Trust Me, this one's a masterpiece compared to 3 and 4.4/10
