Night of the Demons III (1997)

In all fairness, this movie is just as good (or bad) as the other movies out of its series. This is no big surprise, since all of the movies are being more or less the same with its concept and set-up.Three movies later we still basically no nothing about hell house or what's the demons want exactly. It's just lazy writing from the writers, who think that it's enough of having a ghostly concept, that allows the movie to feature plenty of cliché horror moments in it. Guess that is a bit of a missed opportunity to add some more depth and overall originality to the movies.I didn't had as much fun with this movie as I had with the other ones though. This is mostly because this movie doesn't really feature any likable characters in it. It's also less comical written and orientated as the first two movies, which is another reason why this movie is overall less fun to watch.I also wasn't very fond or impressed by the movie its overall look. This seemed like a real cheap movie and I'm just not that crazy of the '90's style of film-making and look in the first place. But what all three movies have in common is that they all still feature some real great horror make-up effects and some other practical effects, that all add to the movie its horror and goriness.And it's funny how the Angela keeps popping up in this movies, cause I really don't have the feeling that it was the original intention for her to be the 'main' villain of the movies. It makes Amelia Kinkade the only actress who appeared in all three movies. She plays the same characters every time and also basically does the same stuff every time. It's not exactly the most refreshing or original movie series but at least it knows how to stay a constant consistent one and therefore I also just can't really rate this movie any lower than any of the previous ones.So really, it's nothing too bad. If you liked the previous two, there should be no reason why you shouldn't like this one as well.5/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

"Night of the Demons 3" is a serviceable entry in the series with a lot to like about it.**SPOILERS**Traveling to a party, Nick, (Gregory Calpakis) Lois, (Tara Sloane) Reggie, (Joel Gordon) Vince, (Kristen Holden-Ried) and Orson, (Christian Tessier) come across Abbie, (Patricia Rodriguez) and her friend Holly, (Stephanie Bauder) stranded on the side of the road. After a trip to a liquor store goes horribly wrong, they all head out and try to hide out from the situation. When they come across a house in the middle of nowhere, they realize it's the infamous Hull House, but ignore the warnings about it being haunted and stay there anyway. Coming upon Angela Franklin, (Amelia Kinkade) who lives in the house, they decide to come up with a way to escape. When they realize that they're being killed off one-by-one, their plan to escape gets even more desperate as the demons try to prevent it from happening.The Good News: This one here actually wasn't all that bad at all. The film's best point, like all the other entries in the series, is that the special effects here drive the film. From the rather fun and interesting looking demons, which here still have the distorted faces, large red eyes, fang-lined mouths and demonic-scales all over them which manage to impart them with a fantastic look, to how the humans and demons are killed to the powers that they demonstrate to terrorize the others around them, there's plenty of special effects in here which look really great. There's a great scene where they all change into the various versions of their past lives, complete with the bloody wounds that were inflicted before their death yet transformed into the demon make-up and it's overall a great scene. The kills in here are just as memorable, with there being a hand punched through a chest and pulling a heart out, a police badge thrown into the face, having a chest scratched up, a forked tongue shoved into the mouth and explodes out the back of the head and having a car run over them, among others. There's also the demon's deaths, which are again accomplished with the usual holy-water-that-melts-the-skin technique that really produces some messy scenes. The confrontations with the demons in here are also really great, and the last-half hour of the film is just really great as there's just a never-ending series of confrontations and chases through the house. From the Satan-masked demon that chases them through the different levels to the main one from down in the basement up into the main part of the house and out into the front yard where there's the great demonic confrontation, it has a whole lot of great parts that are just plain fun. The last best part of the film, though, is that there's plenty of nice cheese in here. From the action to the make-up to the really nice nudity and the romantic scene in the middle of the chase, it feels really cheesy and definitely a lot of fun. These here are all that make the film really enjoyable.The Bad News: There wasn't a whole lot to this one that doesn't work. The robbery angle here is the main thing which doesn't make much sense at all. This is completely handled the wrong way, since it puts every single one of them in danger from the police, based on what they find on the surveillance tape yet at the end the survivors are told that there's no evidence of them being on it. This indicates that they had seen it, yet the actions that would've been caught by those who were on it don't deserve the police following them, and yet the film throws in the segments with them doing all the wrong things to make it go on, which is really the biggest part of it all. The film's rather large cheese factor is something else here, but the misstep over the cop angle here is the biggest problem.The Final Verdict: A really enjoyable and impressive entry, if just not up to the level of the other entries yet still being good on it's own. If you've liked the others then there's nothing that should stop a viewing, and those who enjoy these kinds of films should as well, while those who aren't big fans should heed caution.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Nudity and Graphic Language

I don't know why everyone is giving this movie a bad review, its loaded with the same graphic violence and humor and sex as the other 2 have. I have seen it a couple times and I think its just as good as the first two, I only own number one though. I have to find the other two. The storyline is actually a bit more believable considering that this group wasn't just teens looking to party, they desperately needed somewhere to hide and angela's was the only place around and it was just a load of gory fun, sex, and humor after they entered the house so I don't know why no one else likes this but I like them all so those people need to back off.

I'm a fan of the first two Night of the Demons films, so I was keen to see the third instalment despite all the poor reviews I'd read. Does it live up to its bad reputation? Pretty much.Firstly, you don't cast twenty-somethings as teenagers! No! To whoever makes the next "Night of the Demons" movie (if there is going to be one), please cast real teenagers! I know the other two Demons movies are guilty of this too, but this was made in 1997.The script, when it isn't ripping off lines from "Full Metal Jacket", is average at best. Kevin Tenney's original script was surely no masterpiece, but it was apparently sharper, gorier and funnier than the finished product. Apparently the director decided not to film most of the best scenes. Oh well.The gore is seriously lacking, and what gore there is is badly executed. The special effects are a joke.Some good old-fashioned nudity can't save this film from being the worst of the three. Sure, the original "Night of the Demons" was never going to win an Oscar, but it was well-shot, had a good score, a decent script and some memorable scenes. If the right people were involved, I'm sure this could have been a good entry to the series.All in all, this film isn't as bad as people make it out to be. I have seen MUCH worse films than "Night of the Demons 3". It has some entertainment value to it, and fans of the series will see it anyway no matter what.
