Summary: Warlock III: The End of Innocence
Review: Oh, look mom, another Scream style movie. Unlike the first two Warlock movies that actually had original and decent stories, this one just copies the current trend of unoriginal story. Kids go to old house, strange man shows up, strange man is evil, kids are stupid, strange evil man kills them in weird and exotic ways, one person lives to defeat strange man, and live happily ever after. The only thing good about this was Bruce Payne, he plays a real excellent bad guy. Other than that this movie was not really worth the [amount of money] I paid for it.

Summary: Maybe worth one viewing
Review: Ok, I thought I would give this movie a chance considering that the first 2 films were classics, After watching the movie I had mixed feelings about it. I thought that Bruce Payne made a pretty good warlock( but cant hold a candle to sands performance)I also liked the plot of the movie, but I DIDNT like the way that they played it out. I mean the plot is still pretty good, but all the kinky sex in the movie sorta gets in the way. And its so Damn slow through the first 45 minutes that you almost fall asleep. When it does finally start picking up, the special effects are all cheap and very low budget ( probably why it didnt get a theatrical release). The gore factor is pretty high with scenees like: throat ripping and a guy hanging from hooks( very hellraiserish). So what we have is a movie that has a great potential, but still falls flat on its face with a slow script and some very cheap speacial effects. Rated R for: a scene of graphic violence, some strong sexual content and language

Summary: I'd recommend it!
Review: Okay, firstly I'm a huge Julian Sands fan and admit I was a little disappointed that he wasn't in the third installment of the Warlock series. It's of course your run of the mill horror flick. HOWEVER, I will say that I really enjoyed this movie with Bruce Payne as the warlock. Sands having a maleviolent air about him, you knew immediately that he was the villian of the movie. But in #3 Payne seemed much more beneviolent. I liked that he intentionally portrayed his charactor awkward and out of place as he would for warlock trapped within his own house for 350 years lacking human contact. He seemed innocient and likeable. Also, I especially enjoyed the individual dialoge he had speaking with each one of the charactors as he methodically tricked them into handing over their friend for the sacrifice. I haven't seen Bruce Payne in a lot of films, but he's a good actor and it's a shame he's not in more mainstream movies. He shines under thick clouds and I'd really like to see more of him.

Summary: A Tale of Witchcraft And Warlocks.
Review: One movie I was not too fond of was Warlock featuring an actor I really couldn't stand...Warlock featuring Julian Sands. It was quite a predictable, if not quite boring film. One day, I'm not sure if I saw it on a pay-tv channel or what, but I watched Warlock: Armageddon. I really thought it was neat, original, and especially smart. So when I saw yet another sequel, I was hesitant, but picked it up anyways. What I received was not as original as Armageddon, but it did have its entertainment value. I remember long ago when Witchboard had the same effect, but it did not hold up over time, and I can't say I think this one will either. The creators of this film have done a wonderful job on what looks like a not too huge direct-to-video budget. A major selling point was the presence of 'Hellraiser's' Ashley Laurence (I'm a sucker for a cute tough girl that can defeat demons) as I have not seen her in anything since 'The Lurking Fear'. Once again, in typical Ashley Laurence fashion she's the main chased after girl who must defeat the demon (or shall we say warlock). Bruce Payne grew on me through the film. At first I must admit I even thought Julian Sands would be better. But his calm demeanour really intensified the scenes and gave some nice atmosphere. The film, yes is quite a stereotypical one. But it did have interesting elements placed in it. I really liked the druid aspect that Armageddon brought, and while it isn't really showcased in this film, there is a good witch, and a nice young aspiring good witch that try to battle the Warlock. Unfortunately it is in a minimal amount of the film. A group of friends, all of different stereotypes (one is a musician, another an artist, a witch, a kinky sex kitten, and a kinky muscled possible ahem jockish-type character?) head to an old house which is scheduled to be demolished. Ashley Laurence, whom in this film is an orphan, never knew her birth parents. It is their old house. What follows is your basic what has happened in the past will now repeat in the future. It is only up to this small group of friends to stop it (and whatever clues and artefacts are found around the house). I recommend this film to anyone who likes mild witchcrafty-type horror films for a light viewing. It's not like the other Warlock films have been Shakespeare, and this one is the same.

Summary: I rented AND bought this movie :)
Review: To start, I am not a regular Warlock movie, or for that matter horror movie viewer. I adore classic films, comedy, romance and dramas best...... But this flick I had to see on the day of it's release. WHY ? I am the biggest "Richard C. Hearst" FAN in the world ! This is Rick's first movie since leaving Guiding Light so I waited longingly for it for over a year. "Scott's" introduction is......beyond MEMORABLE. (I about fell out of my chair !) Scott is a fab character, the typical arrogant, self-absorbed, yet sexy, GUY everyone knows......He is completely different from Rick's long-running character on GL: "Alan-Michael Spaulding". And so naturally I ADORED EVERY second Rick was on the screen. Which he used to the utmost :) My only WISH ? .......Lisa could have spent more "quality time" with Scott before the Warlock interrupted their tryst ......sigh ! There are hundreds of A-M fans that thought a good spanking is just what A-M always needed......hmmmm But as to my impressions on the rest of the movie ......It's well shot, well acted and I was even impressed with the special effects. I was not thrilled with what happened to my new love ("Scotty Baby".......LOL) but found a quick hit of the FF button got me through the blood and guts shots nicely. Best part of this flick for me was scenes (in that AWSOME old mansion in Ireland) of the friends intermingling -- casually insulting each other, off color remarks designed to get a laugh, yet the genuine affection shared by all. Also worth mentioning is the haunting performance (and LOVE his voice ! ) of the Warlock (Bruce Payne). This was the first I have seen any of his work and I liked him very much ! So I guess this starts me off on a whole new genre of movies...... a little broadening of ones horizons is never bad........I was inspired after viewing this movie to introduce my teenagers to "Poltergeist" and "The Amityville Horror" this week. I may even dust off some of my old fave Hitchcock. I now own "Warlock III End Of Innocence" on DVD. I'm recommending it too all of Rick's fans.

Summary: Formulaic but entertaining.
Review: Warlock 3 is at best tangentially related to any of the happenings in the first two movies in the series. The closest connection is that the warlock looks vaguely similar to the warlock in the first two -- evidently, Julian Sands refused to sign up for a third effort. Warlock 3 breaks little new ground as it engages with the 'devil needs a sacrifice to return and establish his kingdom of evil' formula. A hottie coed receives a mysterious phone call telling her that the home of her birth family (she's adopted) is about to be demolished and that she has the weekend to remove artifacts from the house. Thinking that this will be an opportunity to find out more about her borth family, she sets out for the country with a group of friends. The house is decaying and eerie, a storm descends, strange happenings occur, and you can figure the rest out from there. Although originality is not its strong suit, Warlock 3 is a thoroughly competent movie which will please any devotee of the B-movie genre.

Summary: Witch Way?
Review: Warlock III - End of Innocence I started out on the wrong foot with this film. I made the classic mistake of rushing to get a film for the weekend, not finding what I wanted and grabbing something that I thought was the continuation of another series entirely. Not until the action opened on an entirely different cast of players did I figure out my mistake. Being doubly grumpy does not make me a friendly viewer. The film starts out with college student Kris (Ashley Lawrence) receiving a call about a house she had inherited. Since Kris had never known her original family, she jumps at the opportunity to learn about her past and dashes off, without her friends, to investigate. She arrives and is promptly badly spooked (people who know this series will recognize the house as belonging to Phillip Coventry [Bruce Payne], the warlock). A grand thumping at the door announces the arrival of... Kris's college friends. Among them her boyfriend Michael (Paul Francis), her best friend and apprentice witchlet Robin (Boti Ann Bliss), and her high school buddy Jerry (Jan Schweiterman). "Great!" thinks me, "Yet another college student hack-and-slash film." Well, it is and it isn't. Don't mistake me; 'End of Innocence' has a twenty-five word or less plot, an unknown cast, and the requisite gratuitous nudity and violence. Nevertheless, surprisingly, the film isn't cheesy at all. Director Eric Freiser stays with fairly understated and subdued effects, rather than immense splashes of gore and parts. This makes that acting more prominent, and several of the cast really turn in professional jobs. Coupled with a setting that actually is interesting, and good film work, this makes the story far more believable that many similar efforts. The end result is an enjoyable rendition of a classic grade B horror flick - forgettable, but fun. Definitely an R rating, but not excessively so. I would suggest seeing parts one and two first. Then you won't have to spend the time I did figuring out what is going on.
