Highly Overrated But Still Good

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

So far my binging the Witchcraft series isn't going well, the first two were embarassments and for this reason I went into part three expecting the worst.After watching it I can say it's the best one so far! But it's still pretty dire.We meet William from the first two movies, he's now grown up and fighting off memories of his origins. But when a rival Warlock appears on the scene who has set his eyes on Williams girlfriend he is forced to embrace his past.Badly made from start to finish Witchcraft III is undoubtedly a mess but was welcome relief after the first two films.Here is hoping it's all uphill from here.The Good:The kiss of death!The Bad:Poorly madeThings I Learnt From This Movie:Warlocks don't understand personal space

THE KISS OF DEATH is the third in a series of incessantly-made straight-to-video horrors that together form the WITCHCRAFT series. The first two films in the franchise were below par and this is no different, a near-indistinguishable entry filled with the usual softcore fumblings and mild horror.Once again male protagonist Charles Solomon Jr. returns to the series playing the good-hearted warlock just trying to get on with his life (and love life). Unfortunately for him a rival warlock has evil in his heart and is killing a series of women in order to give his love eternal life. The two men eventually come to blows but not before lots of characters have bedded each other and female nudity is thrown into the mix.THE KISS OF DEATH makes for boring viewing and one that's devoid of interest. Solomon Jr.'s character couldn't get any less interesting and the lack of money means that there are few effects scenes or indeed life in the picture. In fact, it only really gets going at the climax which offers up some of the usual action nonsense. Many more films were to follow...

Witchcraft III: The Kiss of Death (1991) * 1/2 (out of 4) William Spanner (Charles Solomon) has put the events from the previous film behind him and he's now trying to make it as a lawyer. All is well until an evil warlock named Louis (Domonic Luciana) turns up and wants to turn Willy's girlfriend (Lisa Toothman) into his sex slave. Don't you just hate it when horny warlocks show up? This third film in the series is the third one in a row that couldn't even score a two-star rating from me but as bad as this thing is, at the same time I couldn't help but get a few kicks out of it. This film has quite a few bad moments in it but thankfully they get a few laughs so this almost enters the "so bad it's worth watching" category. One hilarious thing involves William defending a young black boy accused of raping and murdering his neighbor. The early scenes of William trying to get him to talk about what really happened are just downright hilarious and especially a sequence where the boy breaks down into his mother's arms. This is followed by several scenes taking place in a bar where William and Louis become friends by doing a wide range of things but it usually ends up with Louis giving women the "kiss of death" mentioned in the title. The incredibly bad special effects involved with these "kisses of death" could almost kill the viewer. Also, the final showdown for the rest of humanity has our two warlocks wrestling around on the ground in one of the most unrealistic fight scenes that you'll ever witness. For what it's worth, Solomon is actually better than what you'd typically see in a film like this and I also enjoyed Luciana as the bad guy. Toothman finally takes her clothes off towards the end of the picture and we also get Leana Hall playing the evil warlock's woman and yes boys, she gets naked too. WITCHCRAFT III certainly isn't going to win any awards but there are enough laughs here for bad movie fans.

The third entry in the Witchcraft series is a mediocre attempt at softcore horror. sure, you have several nice looking (a couple of them even gorgeous, like Lisa Toothman) women that you may find naked a lot and possibly even involved in various sexual activities (like the usual shower scene), but the plot is feeble at most (you have a sort of male sorceror drinker of soul to keep his fiancee alive forever and the lead good character as the defender of Goodness and of the integrity of his lover) and the acting is always amateurish at best. Yes, probably the previous title in the series is worst, but you may certainly find several better softcore horror movies out there.
