Brotherhood 3 - Ensorcelés

I must say I'm amazed that I have spent nearly 82 minutes watching bewildered people walking around through dimly lit corridors of a school frequently illuminated with inexplicable flashes of "lightning." And that's what 90% of this movie is. Boring. Perhaps seeing the first two "Brotherhoods" would have clarified the seeming lack of purpose of this sequel, but I don't believe I want to waste the time to discover if this would help. The only innovative scene was that of a person taking a shower in his underwear. I don't know about you, but that's a first for me.

Probably a third of my DVD collection is composed of Horror/Fantasy/Science Fiction movies, with a growing number being direct to video. Some of those direct to video movies are pretty good. "Mimic" is one of my favorites. This one leaves a clear understanding why it never saw a big screen.

There is minimal plot (many good horror flicks have survived this); There is virtually no acting taking place (ok, so the genre isn't noted for Academy Award winning performances); the special effects, if that's what they are to be called, would embarrass an high school stage manager; and, well, there really is not a single thing to recommend this movie. The two most annoying aspects are the almost constant use of a fog machine, day and night, in what is supposed to be a public high school . . . and . . . the excessive use of slow motion which could have been eliminated and would have made this horrible (not horror) movie about a half hour shorter.

Be wiser than I, don't let this thing ever rotate across your optical laser.

this movie (if you can call it that even) is THE WORST movie i've ever seen. so many things wrong, where do i start? I had to fast forward through the movie every 5 seconds, it was basically just ppl walking around trying to avoid this dude dressed in black. there is no suspense, no nothing because they just keep walking around and it gets so boring that you have to fastforward in order to keep yourself awake. and what was the plot? i made the mistake of paying $3.69 for it, when i could have rented another horror movie worthy of the $3.69 price, like Hannibal or something. This movie was soo bad, this doesnt even start to describe how dumb and pointless it was. I was so angry when i was watching it, the people in there CAN NOT act, they were just reading lines with no emotion. For all you wanna be film makers out there, i recommend you rent this as a guide to what NOT TO DO when you make movies. > you can take notes on what not to do when making a movie. i cant belive they got 3 of them out. its HORRIBLE!!!

If you have already seen the first two films in this series, then you know what you are in for. The premise involving wizards and warlocks isn't a bad one at all, but the lousy direction is what causes this film to sink. The director seems more concerned with displaying perfectly toned male flesh instead of creating suspense and terror.

Much like the others who have left a comment, I fast forwarded through at least 50% of this film. The acting, the plot, and the special effects were all sub-par.

I purchased the DVD in the "bargain bin" at Blockbuster and paid $6.00 for it. I think that I paid $5.00 too much.

I only had two reactions as I watched the movie. The first was knowing exactly what was going to happen next (just a little too predictable), the second was saying, "Huh? That doesn't make any sense?"

The only bright spot in the whole ordeal was Kristopher Turner. I hope that he continues with his acting classes as I think he has the makings of a fine character actor.

One final thing. You see the American flag quite often in the school, yet all of the students seem to have a rather thick Canadian accent.

My rating - a 1/2 star out of 5 stars.
