As a disclaimer, I am not especially a fan of horror or supernatural movies, but I am a fan of Producer/Director J. R. Bookwalter. This film, although titled "Witchouse 3," really shares nothing with the two earlier films sharing the name (other than the presence of a character named Lilith). This time the Witchouse in question is located on a beach, and happens to be inhabited by three very attractive women, who on occasion feel the need to unwind in their swim suits.
The plot concerns inadvertently summoning an evil spirit (despite a seance scene featuring a woman in "Billy-Bob" teeth), and generally provides a couple of hours of fun frights if you are a fan of witch movies. Bookwalter has become much more nuanced as a director as he has matured, and the cast has good chemistry. This is a very well made (considering the sub-$30,000 budget, amazingly so) little horror film that supernatural fans should definitely investigate.
The best part of the DVD for me is the extras, which abound. There are bloopers and outtakes, interviews, and three (!) different commentary soundtracks, of which the one featuring Bookwalter is my personal favorite.
If you like witch movies, you will like this one. Good job, J.R.
