The Church aka Demons 3 is a holy fun ride of supernatural horror with amazing demon animatronics and unsuspected gore and terrific thrilling score from Keith Emerson and Goblin.

This was meant to be the third film in the Demons trilogy, however the Director changed gears mid-production and its own standalone film. Demons come out of from a hell portal from the base of a Church where a congregation is trapped.

Otra deliciosa locura de Michele Soavi, que bebe mucho de Demons de Bava, tanto que es hasta es comprensible que decidieran renombrarla como Demons 3 en algunos mercados. La historia no es nada complicado pero se presta a algunos momentos delirantes, pocos para el gusto de un servidor, pero divertidos igualmente. La direccion de Soavi, aunque sin ser nada del otro mundo y los efectos y maquillaje van desde lo delirantemente malos a los más que decentes.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Not quite as compelling as his feature film debut Stagefright, Michlle Soavi still packs The Church with enough creative set pieces and ghastly images to satisfy most genre fans.

There is no denying the dreaminess of Soavi's stream-of-consciousness horror show.

This so-so thriller should appeal mostly to followers of Dario Argento, the Italian filmmaker noted for such gruesome scare-fest hokum.

Rated: C+

[Michele] Soavi creates a total, apocalyptic sense of dread that never leaves even the most domestic moments of the film.

Rated: 9/10

Even when the film gets slow, it's nearly impossible to turn away and risk missing the next beautifully framed shot.

Yeah, it's pretty silly -- and yet the film induces a lingering unease that's hard to shake. I lay this at the film's fairly nasty tone and some of the more disturbing images.

Rated: 3.5/5
