Review of Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings (1995) by Alex R — 19 Aug 2013

Sequel to Pumpkinhead is a mediocre monster film that fails to capture the thrills of the original. The film is poorly thought out, and ridiculous. The original film had a dark, sinister atmosphere that added to the film's experience.

This sequel is boring and poorly directed and is nowhere near Stan Winston's original. If you do decide to watch this film, don't expect much as this is quite the disappointing sequel. I really didn't enjoy this film, and felt it could have been much better.

Pumpkinhead II is a heavily movie, one that will displease fans of the original, and if you're looking for something watchable in terms of an entertaining sequel. This is a film that never should have been made, and considering what we are subjected to in this sequel, Pumpkinhead should have been a standalone film.

This is a pointless sequel, one that really don't need and the tone of the movie is sillier compared than the original. I just didn't get into this one and was let down. This one joins many other sequels that have failed to capture the vibe that was established by Stan Winston's film.

If you loved the first and you haven't seen this one, then pass it up, you're not missing anything. This is a mediocre film that just could have been much better, but it fails on so many levels.

This is one film that isn't worth your time. Stick with the original; you'll be glad you did. Pumpkinhead II just feels rushed with no emphasis on trying to create a memorable horror film, and what we see on-screen proves my point.
