The Rope Curse 3 continues the series but strays far from the original concept rooted in Taiwanese legends. Unlike its predecessors, this installment lacks strong connections to the rope curse lore and instead focuses on the Thai demon, losing the thematic identity built in the first film. While it introduces new characters and returns some from earlier films, the storyline feels disjointed and fails to build meaningfully on previous events.
The plot follows a familiar horror structure, beginning with eerie scenes during Ghost Month and escalating with supernatural attacks after a suicide room is cleaned. Although the conflict builds up and leads to a battle involving Taoist rituals, the climax lacks intensity. Kuan Yu, the main character, shows minimal logical growth despite his past trauma and mistakes, making his development frustrating and inconsistent.
The film suffers from illogical scenes and weak performances by the main cast, while supporting actors—particularly Wu Yi Jung—deliver more compelling portrayals. Cinematography offers little innovation, aside from a few effective jump scares and visual effects. Overall, the film feels repetitive and disconnected, yet still manages to be watchable, with hints of a fourth installment introducing a new ghost figure from Indonesian folklore.
