Three mates.. two trainee witches and the other one the victim of an abusive boyfriend, hold a séance late at night. But they get more than they bargained for..
Obvious low-budget shocker with nothing to recommend it. Very confused screenplay that fails to reach a conclusive ending, and some of the lamest killings on record. Takes a very long time to get anywhere, and believe me.. it ain't worth it. A five second shower scene and Brinke Stevens in a Halloween costume are about the only interesting parts. And this is the third in the series? Gee, I can hardly imagine how much fun the others are.. 2/10

Three attractive drunken girlfriends perform a magical ritual and inadvertently summon Lilith, a female witch played by scream queen Brinke Stevens.
A Charles Band Full Moon production on the Film 2000 video label is not usually a good omen, so I certainly didn't have high hopes for Demon Fire. The film obviously is low budget, the plot flimsy and the acting is on the wooden side. However it wasn't actually too bad. Good use is made of it's Californian coastal location, the film has a modest running time so it doesn't drag and although there is very little in the way of gore we do have a gratuitous topless shower scene. Ignore these ridiculous 8+/10 scores, 4/10 from me.
Aside the boobfest, this is a Witchcraft-movie.
Has nothing to do with the previous Witchouse films aside the namedrop for the demon/witch, from which it's still the best, because it has a script that went through the basic checkings, and simply fits the tone and quality of the Witchcraft-movies, however low standard that means. There is a reason why that franchise reached 12 installments. I don't know what that reason is, but this definitely catched the same wibes.

Two girlfriends are interested in witchcraft, so one night after their third girlfriend shows up with a bruised eye courtesy of her boyfriend, they hold a mock satanic ritual. Something goes wrong and they wind up conjuring up a 300 year dead witch named Lillith (played by scream queen Brinke Stevens). I've not seen the previous two Witchcraft films so I can't vouche if this one is a step-up or a let down (I really hope its the latter and not the former) compared to those, but I can still judge the film on it's own merits. Nothing really happens until the last half hour or so and when it does it relies on a ridiculous plot twist that took me out of the movie. It DID make me want to see some of the better films that Tina has been in, but not much else.
Eye Candy: Tina Krause gets topless in a shower scene
My Grade: D+

OK: I haven't seen 1 or 2, so diving straight in with Witchouse 3 maybe isn't the best approach.
The downside:
The plot doesn't make a lot of sense - it isn't REALLY horror, or suspense
* Brinke Stevens has nothing to do apart from trying to look menacing * Debbie Rochon's character is far too "guarded", you don't really get under her skin and find out what she's about until very late in the film, making most of her appearance seem a bit wooden * Tanya Dempsey's character is not well defined, so again the acting seems lacklustre * Paul Darrigo's character is also poorly defined
So as such, I honestly can't recommend the film at all, except that I feel honour bound to say that Tina Krause demonstrates moments of genuinely good acting abilities, (given the character she has to portray), and what she really lacks most is some decent direction.
(No, I'm not a long standing fan of Krause, in fact I'd never heard of her before watching this film).
I'd honestly like to see her work on a major budget horror film, with someone like Stephen King, to see the extent of her acting ability.
You probably won't suffer by avoiding this film, but watch out for Ms Krause in case she makes the move into big league films!

- WissenswertesWhile filming a scene in a dark parking garage, the opaque contact lenses Brinke Stevens wore as Lilith hampered her vision. She missed a step on the stairs, badly injuring her ankle. After icing the injury for awhile, she shot the scene anyway, not wanting to delay production. The next day, her ankle was swollen so much she needed crutches.
