Kurzbeschreibung:
Despite the original movies` protagonist (Julian Sands) being absent, Warlock III still has a creepy central figure. This is college student Kris (Ashley Laurence) who makes one ludicrously bad decision after another. She inherits a spooky house from the family she never knew. She goes there alone. She invites her friends. Blah blah blah. Even for a direct-to-video movie, the feeling of counting off clichés is overwhelming. There`s the stop-start following camera, the light switch not working, dropping the keys at the door, thunder and lightning, tap dripping blood, car not starting, a power outage and thumping noises in the night. All this is in the first 20 minutes incidentally. By the time the Warlock (Bruce Payne) is properly introduced, the film`s remaining plot is hardly worth mentioning. You know it already. The kids get picked off one by one. There`s a final fight; a double-whammy surprise; then a cod-spiritual feel-good finale. On the plus side there`s some well-executed make-up and, better still, it`s a reminder of just how great the original was. On the DVD: the film. In 4:3. In stereo. --Paul Tonks
