Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Aaron1375 I saw the other two movies and while neither was super great, they were interesting films nonetheless. This one started out in interesting fashion as a mysterious corpse turns up in the middle of the street uttering Misa's name. Misa's uncle gets a hold of this corpse, they find out it is infested with a parasite or something from another dimension and this soon will lead Misa to another school where the girls there are going to be in the most boring play ever and they are going to show lots of rehearsal. I like it when the uncle is looking over the play and says it has no plot and would not hold an audience's attention. I liked the uncle character he added some humor to the film, to bad he all but disappears once the girls end up at this strange house where they start dying in very boring ways. Yes, there are killings, but nothing is as gruesome as the beginning scene with the uncle performing an autopsy. The best death during the time they are at the mysterious house is the first one involving a girl being killed by vines. I thought it was really going to pick up once they arrived at this place as these things started chasing the girls, but it is short lived in the action department as we are soon to girls just acting stupid and crying and stuff like this. Misa is more effective here than in the first film, but she still kind of sucks as far as protecting others. The first film had some good kills and some erotic elements, the second film was fast paced and full of action, this one sadly is not really all that horror oriented, there are no erotic elements and all the fast paced action of the second is nowhere to be found. What we are left with is a film that a lot of times I could not tell what was going on.

winner55 I got the first three of these films in a set and thought this the big finale, but apparently more episodes have come out - I'm not sure why....Although the word "homoerotic" ought to include art concerning lesbians as well as gay men, it is usually used for the latter, so we will have to coin a new word here, "lesbo-erotic". The "Eko Eko" series is a lesbo-erotic witch story about a young white which battling the dark forces of Satan and his kin. Earlier entries had explicitly sapphic material, this operates a little more implicitly and will be more accessible for main-stream audiences.I also found the story easier to follow and easier to bear here. The series as a whole is amusing at best, but let's face facts - it's trash. Considerable effort has been made to duplicate the old Hammer Vampire films of the early 1970s. Well, there's nothing wrong with that, that's why this series is amusing; but "art"? The best horror film you're likely to see in quite a while? Afraid - not. Although the story is tighter than the other entries, the fundamental problem with these films altogether is their lack of coherence. You will get confused here - very confused.What the hell is Satan doing in Japan anyway? And how did H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulu suddenly pop out of nowhere here? And why am I watching a Japanese direct-to-video remake of Hammer horror films from the early '70s?well, I had a couple hours to waste....well, that's about it, folks; you could probably do worse, you can certainly do better.

unbrokenmetal In part 3 of the EKO EKO AZARAK movie series, Hinako Saeki plays the part of Misa Kuroi (also in a 1997 TV series around the same character). She plays the role quite well in my opinion. The reason why this episode of the series is clearly not as good as the others is the less convincing story, in which a group of girls practices for a theatre play, but the play is just a disguise for a magic ritual. Misa sceptically says in the movie, if it was a real ritual, she would have known, and the viewer involuntarily shares her lack of belief. Besides, the long winding finale which consumes no less than the whole last third of the movie needs editing. Its timing is poor compared to the dynamic climax in part 1, "Wizard of Darkness". Voted 7/8/5/6 for part 1-4.

Evan A. Baker This excellent film is visually very similar to the works of Sam Raimi and Peter Jackson. It is creepy, and I love the use of the Elder Gods from H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos. In addition to being involving and genuinely scary, it has that certain undefinable "cool," just the right dynamic camera angles and groovy exaggerated sound effects, a few good blasts of blood, all mixed together in just the right proportions.
