TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

quridley The first 2 NOTD films are stylish, moody, gory horror films with a heavy emphasis on teenage drama. Pt 3 might be the strongest in that last department. The writer/director of Pt 1 wrote its script so its totally in keeping with the lore and story elements of the original. Pt 3 starts with one of the BEST first acts of any film of this genre, setting up great character tension and believable world. The film is cast and directed very well and could've been as good as the original if not better if it weren't for the budget. The film suffers in the special effects and action department. The film has such a strong buildup but the payoffs don't match up, especially the deaths and demon makeups. I was won over by the primitive but highly developed CGI. This is the darkest and most serious film of the trilogy and maybe it should've embraced its camp more to cover its cheapness. But this is a very good low budget horror movie.

fester245trioxin-1 Few things are more depressing when it comes to movie sequels to see the series come to such a poor end. Another B-Horror series that comes to mind is Subspecies. The first four films of that series (including Vampire Journals) were all beautifully executed with substantial budgets, rich photography, and wonderful scenery. Then Subspecies IV came to "close" the series with a god-awful, hideous looking film with a severe lack of production values. Night of the Demons 3 is a nearly identical case.Night of the Demons 1 & 2 are classic B-horror films. The first film had all the ingredients of a perfect Halloween fright film. What part 2 lacked in tension and scares of the first, it made up for in wonderful photography, rich production, a larger scale story, and the classic fun feel of the first. Night of the Demons 3, sadly, fails in many ways.It might be correct to attribute the film's failings to the severe lack of budget. The values seem to be merely a fraction of the previous movies. The script and dialog are very reminiscent of parts 1 and 2; ridiculous and over the top insults peppered with childish vulgarity: check! Crazy camera angles and cheap nudity shots: check! Surreal/sexual WTF moments: CHECK! But, sadly, it all falls flat and lacks the charm present in the other films.It's apparent that Kevin Tenny authored this, the story has the same feel as the first film. This time, unlike part 2, there are some would-be creepy moments and tension. The end of the film has a real sense of closure, but the viewer will protest that such a poor film would be the final piece.I really did like the story to this one. It saddens me to think of what this movie could have been; given the right budget and production values. Sadly, it's a very, very pale shadow of what should have been a classic B-horror trilogy.

Theo Robertson ... I did say " almost " DEMON HOUSE as it's known in the UK is one of those horror movies made in the 1990s which uses every single cliché that caused the slow extinction of 1980s horror movies . It starts off with some horny teenagers in a van saying lots of clever things like " I bet your mother ... " and coming close to killing one another . One can't help asking if they despise one another so much then why are they hanging out together ? The answer is simple:this is a horror movie so all logic goes flying out the window Even so this film is much dumber than most horror movies you will see . For example the story is set up via a shoot out so the teenagers have to go on the run because they think they've killed a cop . That's bad enough but they haven't killed anyone and for reasons that defy any logic a detective decides he'll hunt the kids down because he doesn't want the uniformed cops taking the law into their own hands . Hmmm yeah I'm sure every police detective in the world thinks along the same lines Meanwhile the horny teenagers hide out in a house that is possessed by a demon . Not so much a demon , more of a MILF . I'm sure if you're a horny male teenager then you'd be unable to keep your eyes in when you see a really hot brunette in her thirties wearing very little , but strangely most of the boys don't seem to notice . Intestingly everyone wanders around alone for no good reason so you don't need me to tell you what happens next and you'll be asking yourself why the protagonists didn't do such and such a thing . The answer is very obvious: this is a horror movie and not a very good one either

The_Void I'd look a bit silly if I complained about this being a derivative, silly and rather worthless horror film - because that much is obvious, given that this film is a sequel to a fairly successful eighties cult film, made nine years after the initial release. The second film in the Night of the Demons series tried to be a little different from the first and focus on comedy, as well as making a cult icon out of the central demon, 'Angela'. This one, however, goes back to what made the first film such a good time; as although this film is pretty much identical to the original; it is at least a mostly successful attempt at comedy-horror, and not bad at all for a second sequel. As you'd probably expect, the plot from this one simply follows a bunch of kids who come a cropper when they decide to hole up in the sinister 'Hull House'. After accidentally shooting a police officer, a troupe of kids and a couple of girls that they picked up find themselves on the run and are forced to make a stop at Hull House when their car begins leaking petrol. There, they are introduced to Angela; and soon wish they'd stayed on the right side of the law...Amelia Kinkade reprises the only role she is famous for, and while she has clearly lost some of her sexual prowess; she still manages to be sexy and seductive almost a decade on from her role in the first film. There is a big focus on sex, as you would expect given the first two films; and we get treated to scenes that see the female members of the cast show off their 'talents' on several occasions. The make-up looks cheap, but is still a hell of a lot better than CGI rubbish and while the death scenes aren't as imaginative as in the first movie; they're gory enough to remain satisfying to the sort of people that like this sort of film. Hull House once again provides a nice location for all the gory goings on, although this time around the locations aren't as wonderfully Gothic as they were previously. Kevin Tenney, the director of the original film has got his pen out for the script this time around, while the director's chair is taken by Jim Kauffman; who does a better job than you would expect from the director of a second sequel to a trashy eighties flick. Overall, Night of the Demons III is fun enough and recommended to fans of the original with time to spare.
