writer or director michael hurst sci fi channel sequel to stan winston classic horror tale of revenge go awry have it moment and some decent gore and but ultimately fall short in comparison to the original . i be pretty sure the filmmaker weren not try to make a comedy and but i catch myself laugh throughout . a family feud start over a car accident be the basis for this entry into the franchise . the hatfield and mccoy family live in a backwoods town with dirt road and drive pickup truck and drink moonshine and and kick each others asses every chance they get . just when they think it be safe to hate each other and live happily ever after and jodie hatfield ( amy manson ) and ricky mccoy ( bradley taylor ) decide to fall in love cause the fit to hit the shan . one night the two lovebird decide to head out into the wood for some quality time while ricky sister play lookout and but it just so happen that on that very night some of the hatfields accidentally kill ricky sister and catch him and jodie together . you know what happen next . ricky find his sister body and decide to pay a visit to haggis so that he can exact his revenge through the mighty pumpkinhead . ye haw . also and harley ( lance henriksen ) be back to warn potential damned soul against use pumpkinhead to ease their pain . which really put a kink in the story because harley be suppose to have call on pumpkinhead year before this story take place and but the setting and character look like dirty pilgrim that somehow travel through time in order to bring the pickup truck back to plymouth . then there the sheriff ( rob freeman ) who have his own tie to the demon and look like he belong in a 70 revenge movie instead of a make for cable horror flick . some of the gore and special effect be cool and but instead of stick to the man in a suit way of think hurst use some terrible look 3d shot for certain scene . one particularly embarrass shot show pumpkinhead jump from tree branch like a badly render 3d monkey . the cinematography be exceptional and elevate the quality of the movie quite a bit . the acting be pretty decent also and with the exception of a few poorly execute accent . family feud never end well and especially when the family involve in the feud have to deal with pumpkinhead . i do not enjoy every minute of this flick and but it be much good than most of the movie the sci fi channel spit out . maybe it a sign that the channel be try to bring the quality of it movie up to match the quality of it original series . i wouldn not waste any coin on a rental and but if you get the chance to catch a rerun of it on the boob tube i would say to check it out . it a not so killer film but it rise slightly above the level of trash that make it onto dvd these day .
