Warlock III: sacrificio humano

Have a look - one person from HELLRAISER, one from BRAIN DAMAGE, a poor womyn's Sarah Michelle Gellar & the third in an also-ran series of "speculative" films. Another Point: children spoil "horror" movies - in fact, they spoil ANY type of movie - thankfully, the little "sweetheart" is used sparingly. Taken on it's own merits, a none too bad addition to the Haunted House craze & (probably) the only American (or is it Irish??) attempt to ape (elements of) THE BEYOND. It's difficult, but brave the self-conscious "alternative" vibe (including such unpop as Thick Liquid, Haze & Hot Water Music) & there IS a lot to enjoy. Surprise: some truly nasty moments - a male equivalent of the breast torture from MAKE THEM DIE SLOWLY and a slap of Female Domination, that, if the roles were reversed, would have seen this effort banned in Australia. Black Metal fans watch out for the villian's unveiling; something straight off a Venom sleeve. An unapologetic Junk-Food Late-Night scare flick.

the third part of the series is simply blasphemic. Trying to make a 90s teenieshlasher version out of the great warlock sujet.

Where Part 1 & 2 had atmosphere, fun and style (no big surprise looking, who directed them) Part 3 is only boring,plotless and stupid. Not to forget acted real badly. Only Payne as Warlock is acceptable.

I praise the first Warlock film...... who wouldnt? I even defended the second one because too many sad people winged about it. Geeze, it wasn't that bad!....... was it?

So should I defend this third installment?.... Hell No!!! .... I just cannot seem to peice together any possitive words in my head to maybe lift this review up a notch.... in fact maybe it's better that I dont even talk about this tele-movie-esque film at all.

Instead may I suggest that someone put pen to paper and create a fourth Warlock film that blends the first two formulas into one. Being that Redfern seeks assistence from the Druids to battle against the Warlock.... none other than Julien Sands.... none of this Bruce Payne nonsense.

(No offence Bruce. You were great in Passenger 57... but you just aint no Warlock)

So to sum up Warlock III: End of Innocence...... Miserable waste of time. Part 4 would be a classic.... if it existed! 2 out of 10

(it gets a 2 because it had at least some balls to even be made at all)

I can see other reviewers here have given this a low score because apparently it's nothing like the previous 2 films. Well, I haven't seen the previous 2 yet. This just started playing after another film I had on, and I don't think it was all that bad.

It had a much better first half, where a college student finds out she's been left a house in her family and if she wants anything in it, go get it before the place is demolished.

She ventures to and into the house where strange things begin to happen. Then her friends show up and the Warlock, posing as a architect, and it evolves into are her friends truly her friends, or would they allow her to be sacrificed for the Warlocks plans?

Overall, the filming, lighting, audio etc is all good. The acting if fine. The sounds fine. The only thing that bothered me was a few glitch like moments, but I think that might have been Tubi, not the film itself.

I was entertained from start to finish, no moments of boredom and no previous films knowledge to be distracted by. So overall, this films ok for one viewing. Seems a bit harsh to rate it lower from others. Perhaps this a Halloween Season of the Witch moment? It just needs to be watched for what it is, and not what it's supposed to be following?

Decent for one viewing, I don't think it has any replay value tho.

I just saw this on tv so don't know how it was promoted when it first came out. Was it advertized on daytime soap operas? It looks like a "horror" movie for people who don't like horror movies. And it's made in the popular style of movies churned out by directors who don't know how to make movies but wish to put across the impression to children that they DO know all the "tricks" of making dramatic flicks. As others here have said, there are lots of tv shows a lot scarier than this mediocre slop.
