Brotherhood III: Die Macht der Dämonen

I can put up with a lot from a movie, especially when my choices have to do with dirty dishes, Real-Trash TV and/or brushing the cat. But this one goes in the pile with "Lethal Target" and the first "Brotherhood" hoodwinker.

My comments concern the VHS version I bought "pre-viewed" for 5 bucks. I wish I could have about 3 of those back.

The first things I noted were through-the-tube voices and high school level acting. Well, I don't expect much acting in a horror movie.

The whole look and feel told me I'd picked up something from maybe as far back as twenty years ago, so imagine my surprise when I saw it was from 2002!

Some of the music didn't fit, though at some point near the end I realized it suddenly was pretty darn good. Throughout the movie I kept wondering when I'd hear some heart-jumping sounds, either music or effects, but they never came.

The rating said something about sensuality. What sensuality? Do they mean the kid showering in his hip-hugger briefs? Or maybe it was supposed to be the leather-clad couple looking as though they were auditioning for porn made by Disney.

I didn't see much in the way of violence, either. If I recall correctly the stabbings were shown in *almost* slow motion, but the camera was cut away to other scenes before any knives hit their marks.

The Plot Summary has nothing to do with what's in the movie, though at the very end we find out that, yes, this is another reincarnation-type thing. At least in the first of these "Brotherhood" movies we know what's going on from the beginning.

And I don't think there was one scream in the entire film. sigh

I can't believe I wasted 5 bucks on this movie. Absolutely no plot, no storyline, and no respect. I had no idea what was going on the entire movie. The acting was so bad, it can't be compared. I'm convinced they used cue cards while filming this movie. I would suggest watching it just to see how horrible it is. Nobody in their right mind would praise this movie. Anyone who does, must have had something to do with filming.

Much like the others who have left a comment, I fast forwarded through at least 50% of this film. The acting, the plot, and the special effects were all sub-par.

I purchased the DVD in the "bargain bin" at Blockbuster and paid $6.00 for it. I think that I paid $5.00 too much.

I only had two reactions as I watched the movie. The first was knowing exactly what was going to happen next (just a little too predictable), the second was saying, "Huh? That doesn't make any sense?"

The only bright spot in the whole ordeal was Kristopher Turner. I hope that he continues with his acting classes as I think he has the makings of a fine character actor.

One final thing. You see the American flag quite often in the school, yet all of the students seem to have a rather thick Canadian accent.

My rating - a 1/2 star out of 5 stars.

I must say I'm amazed that I have spent nearly 82 minutes watching bewildered people walking around through dimly lit corridors of a school frequently illuminated with inexplicable flashes of "lightning." And that's what 90% of this movie is. Boring. Perhaps seeing the first two "Brotherhoods" would have clarified the seeming lack of purpose of this sequel, but I don't believe I want to waste the time to discover if this would help. The only innovative scene was that of a person taking a shower in his underwear. I don't know about you, but that's a first for me.

Words cannot describe how terrible that movie was. That SCRIPT, oh God, it was Gonohhrea of the ear to the Power of ten. It had no substance, the plot was stupid as that new movie "karate dog" ( <--seriously, holy ----!) The quality of the camera was even bad. The only thing you ever saw was the inside of a school...person running... person not running... person getting put in S&M gear... Ugly girl rubbing her crotch on other S&M guy... Thats is how the entire movie went. The director is obviously gay, I mean, when you have a guy who trips and falls in a pile of blood, goes off to TAKE A SHOWER, and then we sit somewhere for literally ten minutes staring at his crotch and man boobs.

No amount of lighter fluid could ever erase the memory of Brotherhood III: young Idiots.
