Injû kyôshi III - jissha-ban

Manami, the sole survivor of Angel of Darkness 2, is rushed to hospital where she slips into a deep sleep. A priest correctly suspects that the demon (now referred to as an Injuu) is inside Manami's body, but by the time he is able to confirm his theory, the creature has already moved on.

As before, the tentacled beastie passes from host to host (by thrusting its slimy appendages into its victims' orifices), eventually ending up inside goody-goody schoolgirl Fumie, who does her best 'Linda Blair' impersonation for a while, before the priest inevitably turns up to save the day.

By now, the formula for the series is wearing really thin: this third helping of bizarre soft-core porn (comprising of female masturbation hidden beneath heavy-duty white cotton panties, and gloopy tentacle sex) offers nothing particularly new for fans of live-action hentai, and even the Exorcist-style ending fails to impress, being nothing more than a very weak imitation (ie. blatant rip-off) of William Friedkin's horror classic.

Angel of Darkness 3 picks up at the point that the second one finishes and moves the action away from the woods into Showa Central Hospital. Which is a good idea because that means nurses. As the injuu (the demon) moves from host to host through its succession of victims we are then taken to Seika College. This is also a good idea because that means schoolgirls. Basically in all of these films the injuu wants the sweetest little virgin girl, but instead of just going straight for her it has to go through loads of other people first. I don't know why; perhaps he's shy. In this case she is a dear little cutiepie call Fumie, and she gets her big scene when it goes all 'Exorcist' at the end. Yeah, exorcist, because in films III & IV we have Japanese priests trying to send the demon to hell, or at least trap it in a little vase or make-up box and bury it somewhere out of town. The Japanese Vicar is probably the scariest thing about the film; Asian Christians give me the creeps. Anyway, tentacle-sex, skinny little schoolgirls, raw rat-eating, yep, that's about it. I found it the weakest of the series, too much chatter, not enough tentacles.
