Pumpkinhead 4: Blood Feud, a review by addicted2dvd

Pumpkinhead 4: Blood Feud


My Thoughts:
This is one of the movies I just got on Friday from a good friend of mine. Before now I have only ever seen parts 1 and 2... luckily you don't need to see these in order to watch them as I am still missing part 3. I actually went into this movie not really expecting much... I mean after... it is part 4! And how often into a series of movies do they stay good that far in? It happens... but not that often. In this case I enjoyed this movie much more then I was expecting to. The story was good.... it had some cool killings... and the gore was stepped up a bit. I also had some reservations because the story was about the Hatfields and McCoys... but once we got into the story that didn't bother me too much either. Over-all I am really happy with this one... and glad my friend picked it out for me.

This is Elizabeth Taylor's first Oscar-winning performance. It's a real soaper! In spite of that, it's a tour de force for Taylor and a real culmination of her career to that point. After a 3-year break, she would then make Cleopatra, launching herself into mega-stardom with Richard Burton. I thought she did a great job in this role. It was easy to see why she won the Oscar. She's independent and strong, yet wants to be treated like a lady. She's a man-killer but can't seem to win one guy to be hers. The soap opera aspect is where the problems lie, in my opinion. It's one of those movies where characters feel compelled to do exactly the worst possible thing in any given situation. Laurence Harvey is good as the distant adulterer that no one can seems to keep as theirs. I was surprised by how good Eddie Fisher was in his role. I wonder why he didn't make more movies. Dina Merrill was good as the cheated-on wife, although her over-dramatics caused me to laugh at one point where I shouldn't have. It's that soap thing again. All in all, I really enjoyed it.

3 on the cellophane scale.

This one I really liked a lot. Favorite episode of the season so far. I thought they did the werewolf really cool. And if I am not mistaken... we do see her again before the season is over.
