Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings

Release Date: March 16, 1994

Rated R

Horror, Action

Director: Jeff Burr

Rating: One Thumb Up

And to think that some people only become killers because they were simply not accepted. 

Tommy (Pumpkinhead) was a normal kid. However, he was deformed. Miss Osie was his guardian. She was also protector over his soul. When a group of kids torture and murder Tommy, he turns into a vengeful creature.

Years later, a group of college students stumble upon Miss Osie, find a spell in her home, and unknowingly unleash the spirit of Tommy that now becomes Pumpkinhead. Upon being summoned, Pumpkinhead seeks vegance upon those who not only hurt him, but hurt Miss Osie as well.

This film had me close to tears in a couple scenes. The beginning scene, where Tommy is being tortured by the kids, and the ending scene, where Pumpkinhead is being treated in the same manner. 

Of course we know after all of the killings he's done, he's bound to pay the price. It won't be a happy ending for him. Someone has to put the beast to rest before he kills again. However, given his background and the reason for his madness, you find yourself feeling a bit sympathetic.

I don't like how, during some of the killing scenes, there's a lot of flashing going on and it's hard to see what's going on without squinching your eyes. Otherwise, the movie is a good watch and a nice add to the collection. 

Peace.
