Night of the Demons III aka Demon House
Source-Bootleg DVD that is a rip of a German DVD release
I can remember seeing the original Night of the Demons years ago,and really enjoying it. So when I found part III ,which isn't out on Region 1 DVD, for cheap I had to get it. Weirdly I purchased this DVD back in 2004,but until earlier tonight I had never watched it. Film starts out with a cop checking out Hell House,a former mortuary. He encounters Angela,the lead villain from part 1,and he is quickly killed. Cut to a semi-mousy looking teen and her best friend the head cheerleader. They are discussing what they want to do tonight,since it is Halloween. Another quick cut and we meet a group of 5 late teens,all driving around aimlessly in a van. It is the usual assortment of horror movie teens,IE nerdy guy,tough guy who happens to look like the lead singer from nickelback,his current slut,tough guy that isn't as tough as he acts,and token black guy. While driving around the back roads they see that mousy girl and the cheerleader have broken down. They stop and offer them a ride to the big school dance. But before they get there tough guy makes then stop at the corner gas station. While inside token black guy tries to use his older brother's ID to buy some beer. An argument starts. And then the gas station attendant pulls a shotgun on him. Tough guy grabs the shotgun,and right at that moment 2 cops walk into the store. Tough guy accidentally shoots one of the cops,who flies out the window. And token black guy is also shot. All 7 of the teens flee the gas station,and since they think they have killed a cop,they try to think of a place to hideout till they can come up with a plan. Of course they end up at Hell House. Not long after arriving there they meet Angela. And one by one Angela takes their souls. Token black guy gets run over by the van,and comes back as a mutilated zombie. Tough guy's slut has her left arm change into a snake. Nerdy guy gets a devil head. Mousy girl turns into a half cat half slut. So the only two left are cheerleader and not so tough guy. Turns out they both have been harboring a secret crush on each other since the beginning of school. They are trying to escape with the help of another cop that has shown up,when tough guy walks out of the house with a gun to Angela's head. Not so tough guy shoots Angela in the face with the shotgun,and somehow tough guy ends up getting shot in his left eye. Which was a really well done piece of F/X. The cop goes up to distract Angela while the two teens try to leave the area. See a river runs underground around Hell House ,and demons can't cross running water. Angela ends up ripping out the cop's heart. and grabs cheerleader's arm as she is almost across the underground river. Not so tough guy grabs the cheerleader's other arm and manages to pull her and Angela across the line. This causes Angela to sorta explode and melt at the same time. The new kinda happy couple walk off and the movie ends. While not as good as the original,but really can anything top the "disappearing" lipstick gag? This is still a funny turn off your brain horror film. So it gets a B+ from me.
