udar55 Military police Capt. Sam Cage (Clayton Rohner) and Major Callie O'Grady (Chase Masterson) are dropped into top secret mining station in Antarctica after distress calls about one of the six crew going nuts. Once at the station, they find two survivors (Faith Ford and Max Perlich) who say villain Dr. Schilling (Damian Chapa) discovered something evil in the ice on level 6 (think real hard). Oh, and Cage just happens to be Schilling's half-brother. Stephen King famously sued New Line Cinema when THE LAWNMOWER MAN (1992) had little to do with his short story. I wonder why this - sporting the on screen title SOMETIMES THEY COME BACK III - never got the King legal smackdown as it is as far from his short story (the original SOMETIMES was about a teacher haunted by some 50s greaser ghosts) as you can imagine. The first half of this actually is pretty good (reminiscent of Carpenter's THE THING) as you try to figure out the mystery. But when things start getting explained, things get real stupid real fast. There is actually a small bit where they try to tie in the two earlier films that is laughable too. I did get an unintentional laugh out of an ancient book written in a unknown language bearing the title "Raising Demons" though. The VHS sleeve actually gives away the film's twist with the tag line "Hell has finally frozen over!"
Vomitron_G ...but he never really gets here, does he? Seriously, how many films have you seen already that are all about preparing things for Satan to walk the earth? And in the end, what always happens? Some idiot ends up saving the day, and we're only offered a mere glimpse of good old Satan at best, before he's flushed down his infernal toilet again. Guess what this film shows us at the end? We don't even get to see the Devil himself. Instead, we get an image of a shiny Maria. For no reason, really. No, this is not a spoiler. I'm saving you from a major disappointment here. And what's more, the first hour of SOMETIMES THEY COME BACK... FOR MORE isn't even about resurrecting Satan. It simply has no story. And best of all: I actually liked it better that way!What on earth was all this? Like THE THING meets THE SHINING while falling flat on its ass? Either this is a really bad film, or a psychological masterpiece. Honestly, my brain just couldn't fathom the logic of this film. It also has very little to completely nothing to do with the original Stephen King short story (this film was released as a second sequel to SOMETIMES THEY COME BACK, so go figure...). It has ghostly belly-dancers, a mobile unit called "TomCam" (you're looking at a miniature tank with a camera mounted on top here) and has a character making fun of POLTERGEIST. It plays it all dead-serious and has absolutely no clue what it's trying to be, or where it's going. Zombies or ghosts? Demons or evil minions? Demonic possessions? Hauntings? Hallucinations? Too much sniffing gas? Cabin fever? Two immortal brothers? Sons of Beëlzebub? A sacrificial mine-shaft on Antarctica? The coming of Satan? What the hell? Who knows and who cares? You'll have a hard time believing this film, I can tell you that much. In that sense, once you've seen it, you should be able to remember it. So why I forgot all about it, is beyond me. Perhaps it put me to sleep once.
slayrrr666 "Sometimes They Come Back...For More" is a really underrated entry in the series.**SPOILERS**After losing contact, Captain Sam Cage, (Clayton Rohner) and Major Callie O'Grady, (Chase Masterson) arrive at the Antarctic research station Erebus and look into the facility. Only able to find Dr. Jennifer Wells, (Faith Ford) and Lieutenant Shebanski, (Max Perlich) they tell them what happened to the rest of the crew at the station. Bunkered down for the night, the frozen bodies of the dead members start disappearing and when they reappear, they attacked the remaining survivors and slowly whittle down the group. Trying to find out what has happened, they find that a cult of Devil worshipers are at the base and using it as a launching pad to bring an ancient demon back to life. Forced to defend themselves against the remaining crew, they try to get it under control before the cult is able to complete it's mission.The Good News: This one here isn't all that bad when it gets going. Once this gets going at the end, it has a lot to offer it. There's a really spectacular section where the action is seen through the eyes of a remote-controlled camera car running through the facility, which features a couple really nice stunts and several suspenseful moments, especially when it comes down to the sequence where they discover the Satanic Altar. That is a really creepy scene that gets some good points going for it, and it ends with the film's one true jump scene. That soon leads into a really great brawl that gets in some pretty nice fighting. It flows along nicely and has some fun along the way. There's even some really great deaths as the result of the this, including some really gory gunshots, a pickax in the chest, speared through the back with a harpoon, stabbed in the back with a huge butcher knife and there's even a few who get frozen solid. These here are all quite fun, and get the film going along nicely. It even manages to get in some outstanding creepy scenes before the film gets going. The big one is a chilling scene where footsteps are heard overhead and they are forced to follow it from below using only the sounds made, and from there it soon becomes apparent that there's someone out there, only it's unknown at the point what it is. Several of the body disappearances do work, and the mystery about what's going on at the place is handled quite well. This one is pretty creepy at times and is a really nice plus for the film as well.The Bad News: This one doesn't have a lot of problems, but instead has a couple of really big flaws. One is that this one really comes across as a low-concept remake of another, really easily noticeable classic in the genre. From the Arctic location, the cast who don't get along and the mysteriously disappearing and then reanimated later are all quite easily ones to be found in here. This here really makes the film feel really unoriginal and it makes the film feel really cheap, which is the film's other big flaw. There's never an opportunity where this one doesn't feel like a giant underground station, or even a sense of space here. It feels way too cramped in, and this hardly looks like a place where a lot of people could've been stationed in with much of a sense that it's there for everyone. The cheapness extends to several other big areas, and really does make this one feel like a big flaw at times. The last flaw is that there's hardly any need for the back-story of the film. It takes away from the flow and momentum it has and becomes distracting. Otherwise, there isn't much wrong with it.The Final Verdict: Even though this one isn't anywhere near original and comes off as a clone of another film, this is still a rewarding experience at times. Really recommended to those who enjoyed the others, while those aren't that big on these kind will probably find this one to be quite painful to sit through.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and Brief Nudity
damjan.strnad I expected this movie to be something similar to The thing with Kurt Russel, which was a pretty good movie. Unfortunately the Ice station was degrading exponentially as it approached the end. Two sons of Satan meeting in the Antartics and playing around some pentagram altar is a bit below my taste of a good screenplay. It was a complete waste of money and time to see this movie, so I advise everyone to spend them somewhere else.
