Night of the Demons III starts late one Halloween night as a cop (Larry Day) on patrol drives up to the abandoned Hull house & is confronted by sexy demon Angela (Amelia Kinkade) who does some nasty things to him... Orson (Christian Tessier), Reggie (Joel Gordon), Nick (Gregory Calpakis) plus Vince (Kristen Holden-Reid) & his girlfriend Lois (Tara Slone) are driving around looking for some fun when they come across the broken down car of head cheerleader Holly (Stephanie Bauder) & her friend Abbie (Patricia Rodriguez) & offer them a lift. They all then stop at a gas station where thing get out of control & Vince shoots a police officer, in an ensuing shootout Reggie is shot but they all manage to make it back to the van & speed off. With Reggie badly injured & running low on petrol they have no option but to seek shelter & help at Hull house where they meet Angela who sets about killing them all & stealing their souls...
Directed by Jim Kaufman Night of the Demons III is an OK horror film that I thought was fairly watchable, especially for fans of the genre who seem to have a high tolerance level for nonsense such as this. As of now this is the final entry in the Night of the Demons series of films & I have to say that I haven't seen either of the two previous instalment's so I can't compare them, in fact in the UK Night of the Demons III was renamed Demon House & marketed as an original film rather than part of a series. The script by Kevin Tenney moves along at a fair pace, it doesn't seem to take itself too seriously & doesn't try to do anything other than be a straight forward teen horror with lots of one-liners, nudity, sex & a decent amount of gore. For instance the first time we see Abbie & Holly they are both topless for no real apparent reason other to give the audience what they want, gratuitous nudity, & for that I salute Night of the Demons III. There's a fair amount of exploitation & all the ingredients that a low budget film such as this needs to make it watchable. The plotting isn't the best, the character's are somewhat clichéd & there isn't much to it but it's sort of fun on a dumb level, it's short enough not to become tedious & entertains.
Director Kaufman does an OK job & while the film doesn't have a lot of style it has a reasonable atmosphere, a few reasonably effective scenes & he keeps the thing moving along. There are a few demons which look OK & some decent gore, a ripped out still beating heart, someone is shot in the eye, a melting demon & someone has a demon tongue shoot out the back of their head.
Technically the film is alright, it's competent at least. The opening credits feature some poor computer graphics along with a pretty cool sounding theme tune. The acting varies between OK & downright poor.
Night of the Demons III was OK, it's not a masterpiece but I honestly don't think it sets out to be. Personally I think it's well worth a watch if your a horror fan, other's should probably avoid it. Night of the Demons (1988) & Night of the Demons II (1994) were the previous entries.
