reeves2002 When I first saw warlock 3 I knew Julian Sands wasn't in it and I had an attitude about it right from the start because I am very fond of Julian Sands and have seen nearly every movie he's been in.To me it's his character and seeing someone else in the role was gonna ruin it for me.Well I was right and my fears were realized.I hated the movie.I didn't know the reason why Sands wasn't in it but they had to go and get another blond British much older actor who resembled Julian a little.I just could not deal with it and was angry for the longest time and swore I would never ever buy it or see it again. Well bits and pieces of the movie came to mind every now and then and for some reason,I really liked the witchcraft scenes and wanted to see them again but I didn't bother because after time I forgot about it. I do own warlock 1 & 2 on DVD and like them both equally because they are 2 completely different stories and this was enough.By the time I thought of seeing warlock 3 again it was long out of print so I figured no one else liked it much either so I left it alone. About a week ago I found a VHS copy of the movie for rent and thought i'd see it again because it has been 7 years since I first saw it and I forgot everything about it.I couldn't believe it! I actually enjoyed it and have decided to get the DVD after all.It is a hard DVD to track down but I did see a few for sale on line.This time around I didn't mind the story and even liked the characters and even though I still wish Julian Sands was in it,I didn't mind Bruce Payne as much.The reason I think he doesn't bother me in warlock 3 is it has nothing at all to do with the 1st or 2nd film.It is a completely original story and obviously there can be more than 1 warlock.I like the special effects. My favorite scene is where the warlock turns the girl who reads tarot cards into glass and then smashes her.It looked quite real.I thought the lightning scenes could have been more realistic because the thunder sounded real. I am hoping that one day there will be a 4th warlock movie with a bigger budget,a great story,and played one more time by Julian Sands.But for right now I don't mind adding Warlock 3 to my collection.Give this movie a chance.You don't need to watch part 1 or 2 before seeing part 3 because it stands very well on it's own.

zimbo_the_donkey_boy I just saw this on tv so don't know how it was promoted when it first came out. Was it advertized on daytime soap operas? It looks like a "horror" movie for people who don't like horror movies. And it's made in the popular style of movies churned out by directors who don't know how to make movies but wish to put across the impression to children that they DO know all the "tricks" of making dramatic flicks. As others here have said, there are lots of tv shows a lot scarier than this mediocre slop.

Elswet As far as sequels go, this one rates right down there with Pet Semetary 2 and Exorcist 2. Lame, Lame Lame!!!This movie had absolutely NOTHING to do with the first two movies. And, unfortunately for Julian Sands fans, he wanted too much money to do this third installment, and so the studio hired some lame a** to play his character. Never a good move in a sequel, and that little studio stunt drags this already wavering "B" flick down into the trenches of the "D" category. Dirt. Disgusting.Deplorable. Detritus. Dire.I hate this movie. It represents everything that has ruined the industry. Shoddy acting, horrible casting, non-existent directing...the cast of characters wanders aimlessly through this horrid piece of garbage seemingly with no direction whatsoever.This is not even a movie. It's a flick, and nothing more. Don't waste your time, or resources on this one.It rates NOTHING -0/10- from...the Fiend :.

zombiesnake17 I'll be honest with you I like Playboy playmates, and I especially like Angel Boris (playmate of the month July 1996)who has a small part in this movie. In fact she is the whole reason I rented this video at all. Since this is the third movie in a seris I decided it would be a good idea to see parts one and two before I got to this one. I thought part one entitled "Warlock" was pretty boring but had good characters and a good try at a plot so I did'nt hate it. Part two entitled "Warlock:The Armeggedon" was excellent in my opinion. It had cool special effects, good plot, was'nt boring and the Warlock Julian Sands was still in it who I liked from part one. By this point I was glad I saw them both because they were fun and now I was ready to see the one I wanted to see in the first place. Boy was I disapointed. The movie was very boring, had no plot, wasn't scary (even though you could tell they were trying to make this one scary unlike the other ones), and Angel Boris was barley in it and when she was she would just say stupid lines that they wrote for her just so they could have a hot chick type person in it at all. The main character was a whiney plain lookin girl who should be in some sappy show like 7th Heaven instead of a horror movie. These aren't the only characters who are lame in this movie because your glad when all the guy characters die and could care less anyway. Now that I told what I thought was bad here is what I thought was good: Angel Boris' breast's exposed twice, Angel Boris in a thong, and the new Warlock Bruce Payne was'nt that bad even though I still missed Julian Sands who I'm kind of glad was'nt in this one because it was so lame. If you did like this movie then I would like to recommend another seris of movies which is similiar to this one but a thousand times better. This seris being the "Night of the Demons" movies. Because They are scarier,have better special effects,have a ton more female nudity, and are also funny which this movie was'nt trying to be, but comedy is of course an important part of the horror movie experience.
