2.0 out of 5 stars Been looking for HOUSE III, well here it is., August 13, 2000

This review is from: The Horror Show (aka House III) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I saw the first two HOUSE movies when I was young and liked them during that time. When I got older I found HOUSE IV at a video store and rented it. I didn't even know they made a part III! After I saw part 4, I put the hunt out for 3, but I couldn't find it anywhere. I asked video stores and everything, but they never even heard of HOUSE III! I knew if they made a 4, their had to be a 3 out there somewhere, so I went to the internet and found it. The reason I couldn't find HOUSE III is because it was retitled for U.S. release as THE HORROR SHOW. I ended up buying it to see what it was like. I was very disappointed. First of all, it had nothing to do with the first two HOUSE movies. It did however provide a good cast. MGM really should retitle it and release it as HOUSE III: THE HORROR SHOW to avoid confusion in the states for people looking for the nonexistent HOUSE III

This review is from: The Horror Show (aka House III) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I Enjoyed this film ever since I saw it in the early 90s. It does compare stylistically to SHOCKER, but IMO this film has more finesse.
Whilst Lance and Brion are the key players, the Psychic researcher is a key player, since he opens up the plot very quickly. I would love to see this film done in a more recent version with some fx touchups... but if not, it still stands the test very well, and it would do great on DVD ( wow, would I love that).
Overall, the surreal elements are great, and the "language" element is not a loss, since it would play well on tv, since its okay to slice and dice people, but swearing is a definite no-no.
Overall, I have wished that I could find more of Lance in this sort of psychic/surreal sort of film, but outside of Pumpkinhead, and OMEN 2, ( the exception now is MILLENIUM, since the extras make it clear that Frank Black has no psychic powers ... what a blow :-), anyways, Lance does a great job, same intensity as PUMPKINHEAD.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very entertaining Horror film with 2 great leading actors, August 11, 1999

Lance Henriksen and Brion James in one movie! It has to be good. I saw this film a couple of years ago and thought was one of the best horror films ever. James is excellent as a recently killed serial killer and Lance Henriksen is equally as good( this movie would make for a good episode of Millennium, also starring Henriksen). Thought it is much like Wes Craven's great movie Shocker, it is a lot more scarier and it has better actors, though Mitch Pileggi of X-Files as the recently electorcuted killer was just as good as Brion James. However, I liked Horror Show better and think it is a very good film of its kind.
