this be a rather late straight to video sequel to the stan winston movie pumpkinhead from 1988 and that wasn not even a big commercial success in the first place . the first movie already wasn not too great but this movie also add very little and can hardly be call an improvement . it really not an exciting or interesting movie to watch . the movie doesn not know to build up well and it doesn not seem to be able to handle it horror . of course it also isn not be help much by it story that provide very little originality . it a movie that get make without too much imagination and true creativity . even the good look monster come across as often be ridicule and mainly because he too often get feature too prominently . the story fill the movie with some uninteresting character and the movie be perhaps also miss a true and good main character . also none of the actor really impress within their role and which can be expect of course from a straight to video horror flick . but it main story remain really the main reason though that the movie never truly work out the way it suppose to . it formulaic and uninteresting and just drag too much in part because it doesn not seem to be able to make choice . it still a rather good look movie . it at least doesn not have a cheap b movie look over it and the movie do feature some gore and however not really enough to please the average genre fan . it easily a sequel and genre movie that you can do without . 4/10 .
