Passable Horror Entertainment

A family with mom Cheryl (Virginia Bryant) who is a horror writer, father Tom (Paolo Malco) and son Bobby (Patrizio Vinci) are off on a vacation and mom can write another horror epic. They visit an enormous, spooky mansion to stay. I could tell quite early she is making quite a bit of dough off her creepy tales. Anyways, her nightmares start becoming reality on this trip.

I personally do not quite get the low rating on this site. Sure, it is not one of the best horror movies of the 80s or 1989 for that matter or one of director Lamberto Bavas best work. But to me, it was a passable horror flick with an effective score from Simon Boswell.

For some reason (likely to cash in on Bavas previous work) they changed the title to Demons 3. They should not have done that. This has zilch to do with DEMONS 1 or 2. I knew this going in so I was not waiting for the connections to those movies or hoping one would come along. I watched it as a stand alone movie. No where near as gory as those films either. At times I was getting a HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY feel, but maybe that was because of Malco being in both pictures as the father in the new haunted house. Not to mention I did find the ending to be a little weak and almost TV-movie-ish. In the end though, just made the grade for me.
