SomeonePumpkinhead 3: Ashes to Ashes
May 24th 2009 12:05
Well, having watched 4 before 3, I figured it was only fair to give this one a go...
Premise: A family of weirdos, lead by the town doctor, desecrate corpses to sell organs, in order to fund the town's free healthcare. When a passing hiker discovers the plot, he is (almost) killed by the group, but manages to hail down a passing car and tell his tale before dying.
Because of this, the scheme is uncovered, and it is discovered that one of the desecrated corpses belongs to a (though to be cured) crazy distraught ex-mother. In her grief, she and 3 others related to the child summon Pumpkinhead, who goes around being all demon-like and killing people in the name of revenge.
Pumpkinhead: 2, Helpless Victims: 0
However, this movie did have flaws aplenty. The acting was all-round abysmal. Wooden acting delivering poor dialogue throughout the movie. Wait, I take that back. The only saving grace in the acting department was Lance Henriksen, who only had a small part. Other than that... well, I'd rather not talk about it. The witch didn't annoy me as much as in number 4, but she had a smaller part so that's probably why. There were a few pretty dumb scenes, but nothing you wouldn't expect from a straight to tv affair.
Overall... understandably similar to Pumpkinhead 4, considering they were shot back to back. Probably the best bits of the movie were (unfortunately) the flashbacks to the original Pumpkinhead, which I haven't seen but looks to be a far superior movie. I would recommend renting the original if you want some Pumpkinhead action, but this will do if you're bored and it happens to come on tv.
