In spite of the long feud between the Hatfields and the McCoys because of a car accident, Jodie Hatfield (Amy Manson) and her boyfriend Ricky McCoy (Bradley Taylor) love each other and are planning to leave their families and move to another place. During the night, after the Hatfields having trashed a McCoy wedding, Jodie sneaks out from her house to meet Ricky, while his young sister Sara (Maria Roman) looks out for them. However, Jodie is followed and they are found together in the woods by Jodie's brothers Bobby Joe (Ovidiu Niculescu) and Billy Bob (Elias Ferkin) that accidentally kill Sara. Ricky seeks revenge, going to the house of the witch of the woods Haggis (Lynne Verrall) that summons Pumpkinhead to kill all the Hatfields except Jodie. When his vengeance is set in motion, the Hatfields are attacked by the demon in a bloodshed night."Pumpkinhead: Blood Feud" uses the forbidden romance between a young couple of two families in permanent feud and a tragic love story like in Romeo and Juliet to bring back the powerful demon Pumpkinhead in another bloodshed. This television movie is not as bad as indicated in many reviews; actually I liked the enjoyable story and I found it underrated with the 4.5 IMDb Rating. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Pumpkinhead 4: Maldição Sangrenta" ("Pumpkinhead 4: Bloody Curse")

I loved the original P.H. and was somewhat satisfied with Bloodwings (II)and Ashes to Ashes (III), then I saw part IV. Oh boy..... As a Pumpkinghead enthusiast, I did my best to give part 4 as much credit as I could, but it's pretty bad. The wedding reception fight right at the beginning of the film is a horrendous mess for one thing. The Hatfield and McCoy storyline is incomprehensibly stupid and cliché. How did the producers get away with using that tired family feud storyline? Wow, unbelievable. The acting, besides Henrickson, is below average. The plot and script are mind-numbing. The actual editing and cinematography are average, as is the directing. I mean, the movie isn't a total loss. As always: I really enjoy watching Pumpkinhead, I love seeing Haggis the Witch, and like watching Harley's ghost in action. But all three characters had WAY too much screen time. I thought Haggis and Harley would wind up going out to a supper club for an evening bite to eat and drinks, the way the were being so buddy buddy in her cabin. The bottom line is.... Is that I wanted all the characters in this puke fest of a plot line to be dead within 20 minutes of the start of the picture. Where does Sci-Fi get these so called "film production professionals" from anyway!? I could do a better job writing a script stone cold drunk. I'm sure there was a limited budget and everything, but come on! See it if your a fan of the other three, but just once. And then go back and stick to the original two. Shame on you Sci-Fi!!!!

Well they've done it again a new pumpkin head film, the first pumpkin head film was perfect for its time, a dumb, gory, and clichéd monster flick. so heres how it goes, some one loses their loved one, goes to the witch in the woods, gets her to raise pumpkin head and have it murder everyone responsible. unfortunately the film makers have deemed it irrelevant to try and do any other than this, for the films fourth outing, deeming it far more suitable to add some lame romeo and Juliet sub plot, involving an idiotic family feud (over a car!!!!) and surprise surprise some gory pumpkin head slayings, so far so formulaic, but it doesn't stop there the acting talent in this flick is dire...oh so bad half of them can't even keep up a southern accent without slipping into their native and often posher accents. Lance henrikssen is on board so surely he would bring some gravitas to the movies proceedings...but no lance merely ambles on screen lets the words fall out mouth with absolutely no emotion or seemingly direction, and walks off again, i honestly think he just turned up for the money, then went off to his trailer to drunk and reminisce about aliens.this film is utter cack there is no redeeming feature other than it ending credits which signal its all over.despite the failings of ph:bf...if you want a no brainer that'll make you laugh for all the wrong reasons watch it.if you want something with abit more meat and originality avoid.

Pumpkinhead, the name alone sends fond memories of the late 80's early 90's when there was still a few good horror movies coming out. Then we got into the Scream era and things got real schlocky. Things we are still trying to recover from as horror fans but anyway that is another issue. The original Pumpkinhad though not a great film still managed to put one of the wildest monsters ever created on the silver screen and though the movie was marginal the monster alone saved it from mediocrity.In comes this the 4th installment to the Pumpkinhead series, Blood Feud. while part one was decent 2 and 3 were not so fortunate and with the 4th I really questioned if anyone could at least make a mediocre monster flick with ol' PH in it. At its onset we start with some killing and Pumpkinhead which is always a good thing if you ask me, then we get to the opening portions of the "story". We begin with a wedding celebration that gets ruined by a feuding family, sounds like the Hatfields and McCoys right well the cheesy thing is IT IS!!!! For some reason of shear lunacy the writer, director and all involved agreed to give the feuding families these names. Once I hears that I began to laugh at how corny and cheesy that is, let alone totally unoriginal. Well after an accidental death and someone calling up Pumpkinhead for revenge we get back to some killing which does happen frequently especially toward the end. It is this reason that I can say that saves Pumpkinhead: Blood Feud and makes for one of the more entertaining Sci-Fi Channel movies I have seen.One thing that Sci-Fi for the most part has been liberal with is the gore and they did a nice job here, from bear trap head crushing to Human head stomping there are some nice gruel being thrown around here, not to mention Lance Henriksen reprising his roll of Ed Harley, as a tortured spirit who tried to warn others of the true cost of summoning the demon. Also the last 20 minutes we get a final stand of sorts that has a nice body count by the time it ends.Though P:BF will not earn points for originality and that crappy decision to name the families Hatfield and Mc Coy I was entertained by this one. The CGI is kept to a minimum and I would have liked to have seen it none at all but compared to the previous installment they did do a lot better job of sidestepping the CGI and only using it in the dark sequences. Old school monster fans will like that this one for about 90% of the time is all man in suit style effects which again saves it from another damaging mark I have against Sci-Fi Channel movies, Crappy CGI.In the end if you want a monster film with a better than average body count and you can forgive the movie for its shortcomings I would say give this one a shot. The monster FX are handled well and the kill scenes were rather nice. I give Pumpkinhead: Blood Feud: 5/10: a middle of the road example of monster action which is better than I was expecting. Monster Fans give it a shot you may very well enjoy this more than you thought you would.
