A horror novel writer
named Cheryl (Virginia Bryant) is
disturbed about her childhood past and
her wild imagination on her fears of a
wine cellar she always had nightmares
about so her and her husband Tom (Paola
Malco) and their son Bobby (Patrizio
Vinci) travels to a villa in rural Italy
for a vacation and for Cheryl to work on
her latest book.
But Cheryl continues to have nightmares
stalked by an ugly ogre in the basement
and thinks that the villa has a curse on
it especially when the wine cellar there
resembles hers as a child. What's even
scarier for her is that she spotted her
teddybear there that she left behind at
her old house.
Cheryl continues to write about her fears
into the novel she's going to publish
next but suddenly her writing comes to
life and she must face her fears with
this ogre once and for all.
This one that was
supposedly titled Demons 3
seriously beared no resemblamce at all
and was a completely different story
alltogether.
It was quite boring showing very little
frights and a little confusing too.
In closing don't be fooled that this is
another Demons flick
cause it's far from it and has no class
at all to top it all off especially
having three Italian actors playing
Americans as they don't pull it off at
all.
The acting is
quite bad with most of the actors but try
their best. Virginia Bryant tries
to show her character as a woman trying
to write a horror story to overcome her
childhood fears but she doesn't quite
succeed but she shows good fearful
expressions.
Paola Malco is incredibly stiff with
his part in the film but knew how to act
stern when necessary.
Sabrina
Ferilli brings on a nice charm as a
neighbor in the film who was one of the
only people that seemed to pull it off
but mainly because her voice wasn't
overdubbed proving her true italian
accent.
There's a brief
breast shot on Virginia Bryant
taking a bubble bath
Lamberto Bava doesn't
really pick up the pace with his
direction fior the film but he does show
a nice cheesy beginning of the film which
involved child supporting actress Alice
Di Giuseppe getting spooked while
walking into a wine cellar showing good
scared expressions as well as a good shot
on a demons hand tearing out of a cocoon.
There's great fearful expressions on Virginia
Bryant's face while walking down to
a wine cellar and spotting her teddy bear
on a floor with a shocked reaction.
A good dialogue between Paola Maco
and Bryant when she explains
about her teddybear and her childhood
experience.
There is a nice shot on Bryant
looking at a painting and then bit part
actor Alex Serra acting creepy
towards her about his painting.
There's nice dark shots on Bryant
in the dark trying to get to her husband
as well as spotting a corpse and
screaming then a good shot on supporting
actor David Flosi as the beast
attacking in front of the camera as you
almost jump.
There's a good shot on Maco
looking in his pocket finding worms, dirt
and a teddy bear stuffed.
We have some descent stern and quarreling
moments between Bryant and Maco
when she tries to tell him about a
handprint in some flour and the two of
them go at it. But however they smack one
another which looks a bit phony.
There's a nice descent scene with Stefania
Montorsi and Patrizio Vinc playing
hide and seek and then a good creepy
moment with Montorsi down in the
wine cellar with Flosi attacking
and her screaming.
We also spot a good shot on Sabrina
Ferill in bed and Flosi grabbing
her.
Bryant seemed very phony towards Flosi
telling her she's not afraid anymore.
We have some ghostly music
along with some chiming and tuned out
piano music for the film as some of it
sounds effective and the rest is a little
plain and at times annoying.
