Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/20/24 Full Review James B Good sequels do something different with the idea from the first film and this succeeded in doing that Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/26/24 Full Review Shaquoya C Watching "Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings" as a six-year-old, I was instantly captivated by the blend of horror and fantasy. The film's dark atmosphere, eerie setting, and the imposing figure of Pumpkinhead itself were both terrifying and mesmerizing. As a child, the story of a demon summoned for vengeance seemed like an epic and thrilling adventure, and the moments of suspense and horror were thrillingly intense. Growing up, "Pumpkinhead II" became a nostalgic favorite. The film's flaws, such as the somewhat clichéd plot and predictable character arcs, faded in the light of fond memories and the sense of childhood wonder it evoked. The practical effects, particularly Pumpkinhead's design, still impress me today. The creature's grotesque yet fascinating appearance remains a highlight, showcasing the creativity and effort put into the special effects, which have a tangible, gritty realism compared to modern CGI. Rewatching the film in my 30s, I appreciate different aspects than I did as a child. The performances by actors like Andrew Robinson and the nostalgic charm of '90s horror tropes bring a sense of comfort and familiarity. The backstory of Tommy, the wronged boy whose death catalyzes the resurrection of Pumpkinhead, adds a layer of tragic depth that resonates more with an adult perspective. While the storyline isn't as emotionally gripping as the original, its attempt to expand the mythos is something I now recognize as ambitious and creative. Moreover, there's a special kind of joy in sharing this film with friends who haven't seen it or introducing it to a new generation of horror fans. It’s a way to relive that childhood excitement and see it through fresh eyes. "Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings" might not be a critical darling, but for those of us who grew up with it, it's a beloved piece of our horror heritage. The mix of nostalgia, genuine chills, and the enduring impact of Pumpkinhead himself keeps this movie a cherished part of my Halloween tradition and a testament to the power of childhood favorites.

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/14/23 Full Review David W A terrible film and an insult to the original. On the plus side its at least better than the god awful computer game that it spawned. :) Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/14/23 Full Review Liam D Obviously it's not as good as the original but it's not as bad as the rest of the franchise it's a decent horror movie Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/22 Full Review Read all reviews
