Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I'd heard good things about David DeCouteau's movies going into this. Campy, guilty pleasures to be sure, but fun to watch and leer at. However, this fails on every level. Terrible acting, awful scripting and little worth leering at.I got dizzy watching as the "actors" wandered through the sole three sets, rarely encountering one another and seemingly unable to spot the "dungeon master," despite their being in the same room as him.Also, as a gamer, both live action and tabletop, I was upset that no true role playing game elements were used. I found myself wondering just what the players were supposed to accomplish, besides just dressing up and wandering around in the dark. If I mounted a campaign as dull and pointless as this, my players would tar and feather me and I'd deserve it! :)You would do well to avoid this at all cost. If you really want to see a good campy movie with role playing game elements watch "Mazes & Monsters" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084314/) instead.

This movie was so bad I can't even really call it a movie. The story would be stupid if it even really existed, the script is bad, the effects are bad, the makeup is bad, the sound is terrible. I'd say the acting was awful, but given the material and directing I actually felt sorry for the actors and can't blame them. Every single creative and technical aspect of this movie is awful.There are two titillating scenes, both involving the Kip character (who is undeniably cute). In the first he goes into the locker room to wash the blood off his back (he fell into it) and ends up doing an erotic look-at-my-body shower scene instead. But at least the story had him in the shower for a reason. Then after he and another character are "posessed" they do another soft-core bondage dance with poor Kip looking terribly bored. Not only wasn't it worth it, but there was no reason for the scene to exist! It made no sense! These comments come from a guy who *loves* bad movies. I had rather low expectations to begin with, and they were not met. Take, for instance, Brotherhood II. It too, was terrible, but in that fun, what a great way to waste some time way that bad movies ought to be.

Much like the others who have left a comment, I fast forwarded through at least 50% of this film. The acting, the plot, and the special effects were all sub-par.I purchased the DVD in the "bargain bin" at Blockbuster and paid $6.00 for it. I think that I paid $5.00 too much.I only had two reactions as I watched the movie. The first was knowing exactly what was going to happen next (just a little too predictable), the second was saying, "Huh? That doesn't make any sense?"The only bright spot in the whole ordeal was Kristopher Turner. I hope that he continues with his acting classes as I think he has the makings of a fine character actor.One final thing. You see the American flag quite often in the school, yet all of the students seem to have a rather thick Canadian accent.My rating - a 1/2 star out of 5 stars.

Okay, I know what kind of films Decoteau makes and I know who his real target audience is, and I know I have given rather mixed reviews of the other two Brotherhood films. But this one is by far the worst in the series!Granted, the "Guys running around in boxer-briefs" scenes are cut down to almost none. With the exception of the all too predictable shower scene...Gimme a break!Anyway, the acting was exceptionally bad, save for the character of Lex. I was very impressed with the actors talent and scene presence. I would like to see him in something again. As for the rest of the cast: Totally forgettable!The stalking/chase scenes took up waaaay too much of the film and lasted too long. I felt this whole movie moved in slow motion. Oh, wait, it did! The smoke in the school and that blasted lightning and thunder machine Dave uses for all his films was just down right silly!As with all of Decoateau's films, we have the heroine clutched at knife point by our would-be villian...some corny dialog takes place and everyone crumbles to the ground!Matt Walsh, if you are reading this...I was so sorry to see your name attached to this film. I know you are a better writer and deserve more than this! I could see where your talent was trying to peek through, but got crushed and pushed to the wayside. I am sorry, and I am sure your script was MUCH better than what was filmed! I would love to read it, as well as yours for the Frightening!Here is to hoping is there is a part 4, Decoteau will attempt something different or new...however, I know he will not!So sad!2 out of 10
