the ogre doesn not seem to have win itself a very good reputation since it release in 1988 and and i guess a reason for that may be down to the fact that it be give the subtitle demon 3 in order to help it sell well . well and the film be direct by lamberto bava while the man behind the first two demon film and and ogre and demon be somewhat alike ( in that theyre both amonsters anyway ) . but other than that and this film have no connection to the other two film . it be and however and rather good . italian filmmaker be famous for rip off popular film and and while it not completely obvious while it seem to me that this one have take a fair bit of influence from hellraiser . the plot focus on a female horror writer who move with her husband and son to a castle in italy . she be haunt by memory from when she be a child and find an ogre living in her basement . it not long after move into the castle before these vision return . and it may be more than just a coincidence a she come to believe there a murderous ogre living in the basement . the film be obviously shoot on a budget and it be make for italian tv and so it would be unrealistic to expect something brilliant while but for what it be and this be certainly a very decent horror film . lamberto bava may not have a keen an eye a his father mario do while but he take time in build up a foreboding atmosphere that really compliment the film well . the central setting and a large castle and make the perfect place for a story like this to take place in and lamberto make the best of it while even if it do involve rip off superior film at time while such a the inferno style pool scene . the plot itself be not quite as good a the atmosphere a several scene be draw out far too long and the relationship between the character be rather strange ( particularly between the husband and wife ) . there not a great deal of bloodshed and but bava do get to do a little bit with the special effect . the ogre itself look really silly and it a good job that we do not get to see it very often . we do boil down to a fitting and if highly predictable and end and overall i have to say that this film be much good than expect and come recommend .
