Review of Pumpkinhead: Ashes to Ashes (2006) by Bethany F — 30 Mar 2008

I admit the CGI in this film wasn't even good enough to be the effects for an N64 video game, but the story was there, and a good story can pull a film out of the shitter right away, especially if it has good acting and awesome cameo's.

I feel this film really kept true to the original "Pumpkinhead".

I thought the prosthetics for the old women were wonderful, and I really loved how when the corpse of the next "Pumpkinhead" (Ed Harley) was fed the blood of the people seeking vengeanace it first changed into Ed Harley and then into Pumpkinhead, that was a wonderful touch.

I liked also that they carried on a character from the first film.

"Bud" he was pretty good, but a little dumber than I thought he should have been.

Doug Bradley was really good in this film, its rare to find him in a movie you can't automatically stereo type him as..

"Oh look its Doug from Hellraiser".

His acting in this film really made this character his own, and I liked that a lot.

My only complaints in this film are obviously the CGI and I would have liked something else at the beginning, I thought the blundering right into organ stealing was a bit muddled.

Otherwise this movie is awesome!
