I heard about this last year and planned on watching it. Thinking it was connected to the old Pumpkinhead Franchise,it isn't. Needed a film for 31 Days of Horror and gave this a shot.
New family moves to a small farming town. Mom and her two sons,the dad is dead. The older brother tries to help the younger brother get over the death of their father. The younger brother's new friend tells them about a farm where vegetables are given away in a festival.
They got and the new friend,sorry no one in this film's name stuck in my memory,warns the younger brother to not mess with the farmer's pumpkin. Being a dumb kid he of course steals it.
Of course the farmer notices his prize pumpkin missing and the younger brother is told to bring it back. Being a good kid the older brother sets off on his bike at night to return it. And just vanishes.
The next day the mother acts like she only has one child. And the friend tells the younger brother how kids just vanish and are forgotten about. But that the town oddball might know more.
So off into the woods to meet up with a grown man who lives in a camper. He tells them to "Dont move you are surrounded by landmines" then walks right by them.... Seems he is sure the farm is connected to the missing kids. And his living outside of the area is why he is the only adult that remembers the missing kids.
Plan is made they are gonna get the brother back. Using fireworks the farmer is distracted. We get a twist and then the gut punch of an ending.
SPOILERS
The older brother and the missing kids are found! But now the mother and everyone else it appears has no clue who the younger brother is....
Guess that will be resolved in the next film. Which has already been made.Worth seeing,there is some creepy scenes. But go in remembering this is a kids/young teens horror film.
R.L. Stine's Pumpkinhead gets a C+
