  Well, oh, man. LOL! I'm sorry, just I had never really expected before to get into these "Night of the Demons" movies. I think it's because I just had the opportunity which was cool. For a horror movie, sometimes I like it to be a little cliché and cheesy. You've got the bad acting, some scary moments, sex, drugs, alcohol, and unnecessary violence. I just loved the love story between the rebel and the head cheerleader. They were in the middle of getting killed but when they get a minute alone, they're all like "Oh, what would the head cheer leader want with a punk like me?" and they kiss! LOL! So beyond cheesy and unreal, but you get your kicks out of it. I think I was just in a good mood and I was excited to see the third installment into this trilogy. Is it a movie for all? Heck no and it's not Oscar material. It's just for the horror fans who want to get a little kick out of the horror genre. Angela's back in action and she's ready to throw one "hell" of a party! Happy Halloween! 4/10

• Its not meant to be an Oscar-worthy movie.Its just a fun horror flick

  Rated R for strong violence and gore, sexuality and language I have not seen the first two Night Of The Demons movies but I want to.I am the type of person that can enjoy an action or horror movie with bad acting and storyline...if there is tons of mindless action or mindless gore.This movie has bad reviews on this site because people are expecting an Oscar-worthy movie.Its just a fun horror flick with tons of gore,sex and nudity.I hate PG-13 rated horror movies like "The Grudge".The best horror movies are the cheap ones with bad acting and are filled with gore! The movie is about a group of teens on Halloween night who pick up hitchhikers who are planning on going to a party.They stop off at a convenient store but the crazy one of the group, wounds the store-owner and kills some officers.They seek refuge in a haunted house owned by a demon-woman.One by one,they all get turned into demons.Night Of The Demons III is a fun horror flick that's recommended for fans of gory horror films.

• Great conclusion to the original series

  slayrrr6662008-07-17

  "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

• Happy Halloween

  On the night of Halloween, the hoodlums Vince (Kris Holdenreid), his vulgar girlfriend Lois (Tara Stone) and their friends Nick (Gregory Calpakis) and Reggie (Joel Gordon) are driving around in the van of Orson (Christian Tessierare). They see the cheerleader Holly (Stephanie Bauder) trying to fix her car and they offer a ride to Holly and her friend Abbie (Patricia Rodriguez). They stop in a convenience store to buy beer and the clerk suspects of the group and points a shotgun to them but Vince takes the weapon and dominates the situation. But two police officers come to the place and Vince accidentally shots one of them when the clerk grabs his hair. The other policeman shots Reggie in the stomach, but they succeed to escape from the store. But the van is shot on the gas tank and Vince decides to stop the vehicle in the infamous Hull House, considered a cursed place, instead of taking Reggie to the hospital, using the shotgun to force Nick and the other teenagers to follow him. But the place is not abandoned and the demon Angela (Amelia Kinkade) meets them in an human form. Meanwhile, the officer was wearing bulletproof vest and was not wounded and the veteran Lieutenant Dewhurst (Vlasta Vrana) discovers that the clerk is lying after watching the surveillance tape. Dewhurst track them down while the group discovers the truth about the Hull House. "Night of the Demons III" is flawed, but not as bad as indicates many reviews. I saw this movie for the first time on 24 February 2000 on VHS and I have just seen it again. The story has a poor development of the characters and it is difficult to understand why Nick hangs around with Vince, Lois and Orson. The fate of Abbie, Lieutenant Dewhurst and Reggie are not fair since they are not evil like Vince, Lois and Orson. But the movie entertains considering the budget. My vote is six.

• I don't know why everyone is cutting on this movie

  dustinhunter7072008-06-02

  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.
