From the liner notes

Revenge is served hot, quick and drenched in an unimaginable flood of bloody ooze in this scream-inducing, spectacularly creative and violent prequel that makes the popular Saw franchise seem like child's play.

Review

If you've seen the previous installments of Art of the Devil (AOTD), then you know what to expect here: explicit, upsetting and disturbing scenes of black magic, torture and supernatural bloodshed. If you are new to the franchise, don’t dismiss AOTD3 as "torture porn," because wrapped around the twisted imagery is a strong, cautionary tale of the consequences of revenge. Panor is a stunningly beautiful teacher who has men clamoring for her affection. So obsessed are these suitors that they have resorted to love spells and magic potions to win her affection. Panor must turn to witchcraft to protective herself, and when she kills a high priest of the Devil to glean his powers, the vengeful dark evil begins to consume her life by ripping limbs, mutilating faces (safety pins being shoved through eyelid is just one of the highlights) and creating an orgy of bloody tragedy all around her. More shocking and violent than its predecessors, AOTD3's seven filmmakers (Ronin Team) succeed in satiating gorehounds' needs — but don't be surprised if you shut your eyes in terror at least once.
