Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

OK, the comparisons to "The Thing" are obvious, so I'll try something a little different.This is more like "Event Horizon"... ON EARTH! And, if you saw the flawed but still much, much better "Event Horizon" (space ship travels to Eldritch Dimension, returns haunted, and its surviving demonic crew-member kills a salvage team off one by one between eerie flashbacks and hallucinations), there's going to be no surprises here.No surprises, except for how weak this this similar film is in comparison, even for a "Stephen King" film. (Of course it's only using King's name to ride his coat-tails into a little more cash, but does it really matter? The name of Stephen King is everywhere on the bread-and-butter of bad horror film, whether King can be fairly blamed for the film or not.) I reluctantly give this turkey 2/10 stars because, as others noted, it does start out with some weak promise of competence, though it quickly starts to lose what little tension it started with about the time the silly book "Raising Demons" first appears, and it ends feeling silly and uninspired.If you are really desperately needing to see a Stephen King film with snow and ice in it, try either version of "The Shining" instead.If you are wanting to see small group of people inject themselves into a remote location where demonic horror has invaded and reigns supreme, you'd be better off seeing "Event Horizon" or "The Evil Dead" series of films instead: these are much better films which seem like fairly obvious sources of ideas for this film.If you are really in the mood for a horror film set in a polar wasteland, see any version of "The Thing", or see "30 Days of Night" instead.If you are just in the mood for a bad horror film that still manages a few redeeming qualities, try "The Dark" or "Darkness" instead.This film, however, is ultimately only going to be of interest to fans of the other "Sometimes They Come Back" films, and it would be of limited interest even then.

Military police Capt. Sam Cage (Clayton Rohner) and Major Callie O'Grady (Chase Masterson) are dropped into top secret mining station in Antarctica after distress calls about one of the six crew going nuts. Once at the station, they find two survivors (Faith Ford and Max Perlich) who say villain Dr. Schilling (Damian Chapa) discovered something evil in the ice on level 6 (think real hard). Oh, and Cage just happens to be Schilling's half-brother. Stephen King famously sued New Line Cinema when THE LAWNMOWER MAN (1992) had little to do with his short story. I wonder why this - sporting the on screen title SOMETIMES THEY COME BACK III - never got the King legal smackdown as it is as far from his short story (the original SOMETIMES was about a teacher haunted by some 50s greaser ghosts) as you can imagine. The first half of this actually is pretty good (reminiscent of Carpenter's THE THING) as you try to figure out the mystery. But when things start getting explained, things get real stupid real fast. There is actually a small bit where they try to tie in the two earlier films that is laughable too. I did get an unintentional laugh out of an ancient book written in a unknown language bearing the title "Raising Demons" though. The VHS sleeve actually gives away the film's twist with the tag line "Hell has finally frozen over!"

As everyone seems to indicate, the beginning of this very strongly smelled of The Thing, but once people started turning up not-dead-anymore the smell went bad.This was only a sequel to the second of the "Sometimes They Come Back" films, by way of the demonic characters wandering about in it. Those who have seen it will probably be aware that the original movie in this 'trilogy' had nothing to do with demons coming to Earth, unless you consider the ghostly bullies being sent Hellwards at the end demonic. But the film makers did try to make this one fit in with the franchise by inserting, at around 44 minutes, the names of the leading characters from the other two films (Jim Norman and John Porter) on the pentagrammed-up map of the demonic world. Nice try, but it's a bit of a weak connection.Plus the whole movie ends up generally ruined by curious spacial continuity (eg. Demons run faster than elevators), general predictability (guess where the ring ends up), unfortunate acting ("Oh my, I can't go on" *collapse* (to be fair, that must have been in the script)) and a dire ending. And, as has been noted by others, Leeta was a much better female lead than Ms Faith Ford. Sorry, I meant Chase Masterson, not Leeta... Silly me.Don't avoid this movie. Just be aware you might not enjoy it...

"Sometimes They Come Back...for More" is a fairly routine and forgettable horror film that offers literally nothing new.The first half is actually interesting,but after it the film goes quickly downhill.Two military officers(played by Clayton Rohner and Chase Masterson)set out to investigate a remote Antarctica based governmental outpost where a mysterious occurrence has killed crew members.The only survivors are a medical officer(Faith Ford)and a tech officer(Max Perlich).Before long,the bodies are discovered all over the place."Sometimes They Come Back...for More" has nothing to do with Stephen King's short story.The plot tries hard to surprise,but all its twists are pretty silly.There is only a little bit of suspense and gore,so I was disappointed.Give it a look,only if you want to see every horror film.4 out of 10.
