 
A
master of an occult named Houngan (Julius
Harris) resurrects Matt Cordell (Robert
Z'Dar) from the grave.
Meanwhile, Detective Sean McKinney
(Robert Davi) discovers that his ally
named Kate Sullivan (Gretchen Becker) has
been shot in a drugstore while trying to
stop a robbery that was caused by a
maniac named Frank Jessup (Jackie Earle
Haley) and is rushed to a hospital ending
up in a coma and wrongly accused of
murder.
Matt pays a visit to the hospital killing
the people there in different types of
devices at the hospital to get to Kate.
Sean befriends with one of the doctors
there named Susan Fowler (Caitlin Dunway)
as they try to save Kate in time but they
may be too late as they are also
terrorised by Frank himself along with
some of the other mental patients that
Matt set free as well.
Lots of fighting
action in the sequel which is a bit
better than part 2 but however most of
the story takes place in a hospital which
isn't a huge thrill. Yet, the story is a
little clever with the vehicle chasing.
Our maniac cop dude Matt Cordell seems
more powerful than ever now and a better
killing machine too.
There's good explosive effects along with
everything else you can imagine in an
action horror like this one as this film
is a good party flick without a doubt as
the trailer for this film was just as
impressive.
The acting is
quite good and more improved than in part
2. Robert Davi was good in part
2 but better in this one and more
menacing too with lots more power to his
part in it. He really knew what he was
doing for each scene for this film.
Caitlan Dunway does well with her
role as a doctor and knew how to freak
out too as well as get into full
character as she deserves very good
credit.
Gretchen Becker was marvellous with
her intensity in the film and knew how to
act tough as a cop.
Julius Harris had the perfect role
for the fellow who seems to have
resurrected powers as he was often
typecast for playing these types of roles
but is very good at what he does.
Jackie Earle Haley stood out nicely
as a psycho in the film with his loudness
and insanity.
Doug Savant was quite a character to
his part as a sleazy employee at the
hospital as I really enjoyed his role in
the film.
We have two supporting actors performed
by Bobby DiCicco and Frank
Pesce playing two dorks trying to
film their documentary on the crimes that
go on who will be well remembered and
brings some life to the story as they
knew how to act annoying.
There are some
gruesome looking patients at an operating
table
Bloody gunshots
A knife stabbed through a person's chest
A scarred face
A burnt off arm
William Lustig
added Joel Soisson to help him
direct this flick as they both pack a
major punch than ever with this piece.
There's an impressive beginning with
supporting actor Julius Harris doing
a chant with candles along with what
happened at the end of part 2.
There's a nice dialogue between Robert
Davi and Gretchen Becker together
during a target practice scene as it
looked quite natural with their
conversation towards one another.
We also have a terrific moment with Becker
trying to stop a drugstore robbery with
her intense expressions towards
Jackie Earle Haley who knew how to
act crazy and paranoid.
We have a great camera shot on Haley
on a hospital stretcher rolling in the
hospital hallway with Davi being
right there as he does well acting upset.
We have a good moment with Robert
Z'Dar walking into the area where Harris
was doing his chant and about to take out
his blade as the setting was totally
perfect.
We have a great tense reaction on
Davi towards Haley as he
squeezes his life support in a hospital
and getting demanding with him as
Haley does well having a hard time
breathing.
There's a good scene with Z'Dar
coming towards Doug Savant and
trying to kill him as Savant
shows terrific energy trying to run away
as well as good shots on him running up
stairs or ladders.
We have a good dream sequence with a shot
on Becker in a wedding gown and
a ghostly looking light shining on her
with some frightened expressions walking
down the chapel hall.
There's a very nice dialogue between
Davi and Caitlan Dunway on
top of a hospital roof discussing one of
the employees that was murdered there.
A good shot on supporting actor
Robert Forster and Z'Dar
coming up from behind him and then
strapping him down in an X-ray room and
gagging him.
A good shot on Z'Dar's hands
putting a gun down next to Haley
and setting him free.
There's a nice shot on Haley
shooting his gun in a hospital hallway.
There's a nice flirtatious moment between
Davi and Dunway in a
hospital room eventually kissing one
another.
We spot a nice shot with a hospital
stretcher approaching the hallway with
someone underneath the covers of the
sheets and then Davi comes
rising up and shooting two guns and
running around.
A nice shot on Z'Dar walking
towards Becker in a hospital bed
and taking off the hospital equipment
that is put on her and then carrying her
off.
A good moment with Davi and Dunway
trying to break open a door with Dunway
screaming in terror along with a good
shot on Z'Dar walking towards
them in flames.
We have a good shot on Z'Dar in
fames driving a police car next to an
ambulance that was driven by Davi
and Dunway as we have terrific
shots on Davi blasting Z'Dar
with his gun and other stunt driving
moments as it almost looked like a Terminator
fashion and was the best
direction ever throughout this film.
Joel Goldsmith took
the bull by the horns for the composing
this time as he shows great chanting
sounds and other different types of music
along with drum thumping effects as all
of this came together marvellously.
Det.
Sean McKinney: I can't imagine the
kind of pain you feel Matt. I'm not gonna
pretend to. But don't condemn her to the
same fate. She deserves better. You
cleared her. She's at peace. Let her go,
Matt. Let her go.
Matt Cordell: *talking to the
voo-doo man* "Finish it!
