Robin: I think he's a witch, Kris, a warlock.
Kris: Okay, I thought that you said that you were a witch.
Robin: I am. But it's different. True followers of the craft practice their powers for the good, for the Earth, for the occasional love potion, of course, but anyone can learn to use those powers.

When You're Wrong

Very cool, artsy Warlock sequel that stands on its own

I use Warlock sequel loosely because it has nothing to do with the first two entries. A lot of people rip this because they really aren't horror fans. The hot chick from Hellraiser, cool guy from Brain Damage and two other fly chicks(one is Boti Bliss from Ted Bundy). Warlock III does overdo the artsy approach a little too much especially for a haunted house flick, but it's still appreciated. This is different from your standard horror flick. There isn't one person from Fox or the WB!!!! Great news for us horror fans. There is some bloody good times in this but it doesn't approach Argento or Fulci so if you just want gore you might be disappointed. Bruce Payne is great as the warlock and brings a different, less flamboyant character than Julian Sands gave us. I'd give this about a 9, however, it's only got a 3.5 rating. So that means 10/10 for me. The original is probably the best, followed by a very weak effort from Hickox(the man behind Waxwork 1 & 2 and Hellraiser 3). Give this a chance and if you hate horror movies that think their name is Dawson's Creek, you should be pleasantly surprised.
