Rating: Summary: Payne makes "Warlock" worth a look Review: Bruce Payne (Operation Intercept, Ravager) when given enough air time and a role he can flex his abilities in can keep a viewer interested. And he does it here in "Warlock III". There is the usual teenybopper horror storyline but Payne surprises one in what would be just another sequel. Mostly kept in low-budget roles, Payne is capable of a sense of presence and cultured delivery. He exhibits it here. He's glossy stuff. If you like his work and want to see him weave a character into his own, this is it.
Rating: Summary: Subtle but creepy movie! Review: Finally a genre film that breaks the rules and holds up as a film in it's own right. A deliberate pacing gives the film an insideous evil quality that stands out from the pack (Thanks to director Eric Fraser and Bruce Payne). I loved the kids (even the ones who deserved to die!) and the photography. This is probably the last in the Warlock series, but all good things must come to an end (and some evil ones!).
Rating: Summary: Shocking and I mean 'Shocking' Review: For those who have not seen this movie yet, do yourselves a favour and just rent it if you absolutley have to, for the watch once appeal(for lack of a better word). Warlock 1 and 2 are absolutely fantastic movies, with great story, intrigue and although the Warlock is of course evil, you are captured by the immense power of the character. Warlock 3 has no right whatsoever in being part of the Warlock movie legacy. Bruce Payne does play a good Warlock. In fact if it wasn't for his character portrayl and a chance to compare the two Warlocks I would have stopped after the first 25 minutes of the film. Basically if you want to watch a porno film, then grab a porno film. When however you want to watch a movie about an occult figure for the story and the idea of the Warlock in an engrossing account, you reach for a film like this. The problem is, it doesn't provide you with that story. The character is not even the focus of the film, instead the focus is on seeing a bunch of 2nd rate actors butt naked 40% of the time and giving an audience the impression that all college students are idiots. This film should never have been made. Watch it if your a fan of Bruce Payne but be warned you will be using the fast forward function on your remote often during this film.

Rating: Summary: The Best Warlock I Have Seen. Review: I am a new fan of Bruce Payne and this miove shows how wonderful he can act. He has skill, no one has the touch like Bruce. The way he brings the charactor of the Warlock to life is something that I never seen as well as the other moives that he is in...
Rating: Summary: Not really worth it Review: I liked Warlock, really liked Warlock: The Armageddon and was uninspired by Warlock III.
The first two had really original storylines but this one chose a typical "college kids" in a spooky house route. None of the humor of the first two films can be found here. The creative use of the warlock's powers wasn't even developed much in this one.
The ending bothered me. I don't want to ruin the film for anyone who still wants too see it so I will just say that the epilogue of the film just didn't seem to fit with the rest of the film. The climax was what i had expected ut the epilogue seemed unbelievable.
The film would be enjoyable for anyone who felt that the first two were a little too light. The tone is decidedly darker in this installment to fit in with contemporary horror films (you could go light in the 80's and 90's). This meant it wasn't as epic as the other films. In the first two films the Warlock is trying to unmake creation or free Satan from Hell, in this one it's just about killing a girl and her friends.
Rating: Summary: warlock III: the end of good horror Review: I watched this expeciting something good aside from the other 2 warlock movies which i really liked. first off, the movie is slow, the beginning dose not help you with the rest of the movie, but what really makes this movie bad is the base of the movie. This new warlock needs to kill the decendent of a wicca that killed him(what a surprise plot). but to be able to kill her, he must get her friends to betray her and give her to him for sacrifice, remember this includes her boyfriend. This plot is bad and you can see this plot mess coming from a mile away and what dose not help is that all of her friends sell her out, even knowing that they are going to die anyway. This is a movie where they have a smart intelligent warlock going into battle with unarmed victims, meaning, when this guy shows up out of no where, they don't have a problem with it. Warlock and Warlock II are very decent movies, this one just dose not help in the imagination or the horror department. besides, if a girls boyfriend was on fire, you know for sure that he would burn in hell before he would give her up, at least that is what some would think.

Rating: Summary: not really a wark number 3 but still very good Review: if you liked warlock 1 and 2 you should like 3 its with diffrent people and its very diffrent hard really to say its more like a warlock 1 or a movie that should not be as a part
Rating: Summary: The Warlock is back Review: Just got done watching Warlock 3. I can't say that it was a work of art by any means, but it was decent. It had an awesome soundtrack to it! Bruce Payne's performance as the Warlock was pretty good...it is kind of hard to decide who was the best between him and Julian Sands. I'd say its about equal. Ashley Laurence does well too...she's a pretty lady. Over all I would give this movie about three stars...it wasn't great, but it was good. I reccomend it if your a fan of the warlock series.
