Review of Night of the Demons III (1997)

It is excellent, I recommend them. Very good saga, impeccable effects, great production.
The performances are solid without becoming transcendental, while photography is again up to the previous two nights of the devil. However, an abuse of the shadows is perceived, as if Whannell was not relying on the effect of the story itself, so he relied too much on the darkness of the houses ... It is good that there are people who do not like the light much, But would a girl with actress aspirations really live in such a gloomy room?

Another of the mistakes in which the film falls has to do with the status of the protagonist. To place the hero of the story in a unique setting - in this case his room - there are several resources, but simply Leigh Whannell took the most dramatic soap opera.

The first half of the film is taken very seriously and is bleak, of pure terror then, but this changes when the old acquaintances of Specs and Tucker are presented as very peculiar ghostbusters. It is here when the night of the devil Chapter 3 lightens its tone, without losing the terror, but it is certainly something that does make a difference and changes the pace it was leading.

But without a doubt, Specs and Tucker could easily appear in a movie mash-up alongside the Frog brothers from The Lost Boys and Ash from Evil Dead. They have my ticket purchased. (As long as Ash is the group leader)

The big difference, without being naturally spoiler, would be summed up to the final seconds of each chapter of The Night of the Devil, to that last picture. Well, while the films directed by Wann close with expectation and in a different way from what we have already seen, Whannell's takes the normal, effective path, but that is still the one explored by the genre for many years.
