Here’s another movie presented as a sequel to something else entirely, with no real connection to any previous installment. "Curse III: Blood Sacrifice" was initially called "Panga," and that's what I'll call it going forward because the name seems more fitting. “Panga” is set in the 1950s and centers on Elizabeth Armstrong, an American woman living in South Africa with her husband, Geoff. She’s having a difficult time adjusting to life there while pregnant, but she tries to be supportive of her husband, who owns a sugar plantation, and generally gets along well with those around her. One afternoon, Elizabeth and her visiting sister Cindy witness a tribal ritual involving an attempted goat sacrifice. Cindy is horrified and interrupts the ceremony, taking the goat with Elizabeth’s and her boyfriend Robert’s assistance. Tensions rise between the Americans and the natives, exacerbated by language barriers. A witch doctor leading the ceremony curses them all, which they dismiss as nonsense at the time. Afterward, those involved begin to be attacked by someone wielding a machete. Eventually, Elizabeth will confront the entity summoned by the witch doctor to punish their disrespect. "Panga" features a killer who stalks victims with a machete and seems particularly interested in targeting sexually active young people first. It's clearly trying to capitalize on the success of slasher films from the 1980s, while adding some unique elements. The villain isn’t your typical resurrected murderer; it appears to be a supernatural being from the sea summoned by someone. Also, the story takes place in the 1950s, when technology wasn't readily available to help those being pursued by this violent creature. The events unfold in a rural South African setting during a prolonged and intense storm, leaving the characters vulnerable. Unlike many slasher films that focus on teenagers, "Panga" has a diverse cast including an elderly woman, her ten-year-old granddaughter, an older man, a young American couple, two adults with a strong physical attraction to each other, and a local foreman who oversees the sugar plantation. I appreciate this variety in a horror film. The movie doesn't have any truly outstanding moments, but the final twenty minutes or so are fairly tense, as the main characters barricade themselves inside a large house in the countryside. We get a final confrontation between Elizabeth and the monstrous killer, which leans toward campiness (a more restrained approach might have been better). However, for the most part, it maintains a serious tone, though it’s not an example of particularly artistic or subtle filmmaking. "Panga" isn't memorable but is generally entertaining and mildly creepy, and Christopher Lee’s presence as a main character deserves some recognition at least.
