Movie Reviews of Warlock III: The End Of Innocence

Movie Review: Would have been great if...
Summary: 3 Stars

...Julian Sands decided to grace this iteration with his presence. Oh well, not a perfect movie but its always good to see Ashley Laurence ala Hellraiser I, II, and Hellseeker. Ashley was just great to watch and played her character well in this film. I would have given higher marks if they actually cast the supporting characters with a little more thought. All of the characters seemed a little old to be college students, maybe they were getting their Master's... I doubt it though.

Ultimately, the supporting crew wasn't great but don't get me wrong Warlock III is actually decent and Bruce Payne makes a great warlock. The film proliferates the franchise, in a self contained sort of way and it's success lies in the fact that the film doesn't rely too much on continuity from the first two films, which is a good thing considering no Julian Sands. I just hate when they try to pass off another character as the original protagonist and while Bruce Payne looks vaguely like the original warlock absolutely no reference was made.

Another added bit of decency is that the story itself downplays gore and replaces the "horror" with commentary on relationships, or lack thereof. During the film we watch as the warlock slowly infiltrates the barrier's put up by the group hold-up at an old mansion. You would think with such an odd ball cast the acting would be all over the place. Instead they did a good job of keeping it minimal, subtle.

In the end Ashley Laurence's character finds out she is truly alone. *Gasp* The horror!

Gotta love that.

In Warlock III the horror is mere punctuation to the back story of Ashley Laurence's character, the protagonist and the commentary on relationships. There was one particularly decent interaction in the film with one of the characters, who happened to be a Wicca and Ashley Laurence's character's self proclaimed best friend. Warlock III is definitely a rent or if you're like me a watch on on-demand this month, via FearNet
