Rua do Medo: 1666 - Parte 3

So the first part was horrifically bad on just about all accounts. The second part was better and well this third one is, well, hmm.

The first half of the movie is interesting as it explains the whole background, but the accents are really bad and it's not an original story, but still it's alright. The second half is pretty predictable yet still it all comes together well. And only two songs this time were released after 1994.

It's a trilogy suitable for a lazy weekend.

The biggest creative mistake this series made was to use the same actors for 1666. It was awkward and confusing.

Every actor involved should be tried for hate crimes against the Irish. Not since Tom Cruise in Far and Away have the Irish been portrayed so badly, that said if you can get past the butchering of the accent (and you can be forgiven if you cannot and decide that hurling your TV out of a window after enduring 15 minutes of what can only be described as "animated leprechaun" is beyond unbearable) then you will find a half decent conclusion to the story. Good luck though.

Part Three was possibly my favourite of the three movies, even if only for that first half which offered the most captivating and truly horrific story of the lot. While 1994 and 1978 were riffing off other movies, 1666 was forced to go in its own direction and explore an era of horror not touched upon enough in movies. The second part of the movie felt a little more formulaic, but it offered as satisfying a conclusion to the trilogy as anyone could hope for. I give Part Three an enjoyable but flawed 7/10. This still isn't an example of horror greatness, but the trilogy as a whole was definitely enjoyable, and had one of the best treatment/use of an LGBT relationship I've seen.

I see lots of complaining, but I enjoyed it more and more along the way. It all made sense in the joining together of the story and most of all, it was very entertaining. For this 3rd installment, I give it a 9 for a good job bringing it all together and closing.
