Andrew Stevens is back as Will Griffith, and this time he's not only acting, writing, and producing; he's directing too. He also brought back a special lady to be his leading lady. Can you guess who I'm talking about? Well, unless you live under a rock, I'm sure you guessed right. Shannon Tweed is back! She's not playing the same role, but that's ok. Mr. Stevens borrowed the Same Actress Different Role concept from my hero, Andy Sidaris. This time, Shannon is a TV star on the highly successful cop series, Sweet Justice. But, when an ex-boyfriend gets a bit too rough; her producer, hires Will to keep a very close eye on Shannon. Of course things get steamy, and…
One time when I was working at Blockbuster, a middle aged woman tried to rent a movie and was very upset to discover she had a late fee. When we searched her history to see what it was for, it was this movie on whatever date (I often forget my wife's birthday, I'm not gonna remember the date of a single late return from over a decade ago). When we told her the date, she was incredulous; she had been out of town that weekend, so her husband would've been the only one home, and why on Earth would he rent NIGHT EYES 3???
Ah yes. Why indeed.

Watch a sequel for a movie that you HAVEN'T seen
When terrible security “professional” and seasoned caught-with-their-metaphorical-cookie-in-the-metaphorical-cookie-jar Andrew Stevens is explaining his updated intruder prevention devices to the radiant Shannon Tweed; there’s a moment where he demonstrates a motion-sensor fake dog that makes Tweed burst into elated laughter.
Its the most expressive and sexiest thing I’ve seen Tweed do. She is a shining light not just in films but in general as a person.
Its really the only moment in this that stands out, that and the fact she seems very confident in her body in this era, with Stevens behind the camera (spiritually) making sure to take in every inch of…
C'est la 3e fois que je le log sur Letterboxd... mais cette fois-ci, c'était pour la science.
Film de Noël saison 2019-2020 #16
Lorsque je l'ai vu en début d'année, je n'avais pas vu les deux premiers. J'étais un peu perdu. Maintenant que je le revisite après avoir vu le 1 et le 2, c'est encore plus n'importe quoi. Sa petite fille qui à 10 ans n'existait pas dans les deux premiers. Et Shannon Tweed ne joue pas le même personnage que dans le 2. Cette série est fuckall mais la raison principale pourquoi j'ai voulu le revoir: c'est le seul thriller érotique (que je connaise jusqu'a maintenant) qui se passe à Noël. C'est important de se mettre dans le mood tsé, peu importe le genre.
Film de Noël saison 2018-2019 #32
Doofus security guard Andrew Stevens returns, and directs! Shannon Tweed is back as well, although this time as a completely different character than in the previous installment, which is weird. Also weird is that Shannon’s sister Tracy Tweed is a co-star. Stevens suddenly has a 10 year old daughter (Allison Mack) and if there’s one thing erotic thrillers don’t need it’s kids. The plot is pretty straightforward this time and there’s some rival security guard company... it’s all pretty silly. Also, it’s a Christmas movie.
Andrew Stevens goes full auteur on NIGHT EYES THREE, adding direction to his other duties of acting, producing, and writing. For the third time, he plays Will Griffith, who operates a private security firm despite being pretty bad at security. When a smarmy rival laughs at Griffith and calls him a fuckup, anyone who has seen the first two movies would have to nod and agree.
Also returning from NIGHT EYES II is Shannon Tweed, but playing a different character, which might send ripples of confusion through devotees of the NIGHT EYES Cinematic Universe. This time, Shannon plays the sexy star of a television action/adventure program (as she did in the later NO CONTEST movies) and she has a stalker…
Andrew Stevens returns as the proprietor of Night Eyes Security, and this time he directs too! Shannon Tweed returns, but as a different character! When they first meet on screen, I was so confused, like... "you don't remember fucking a whole bunch during the last movie? Because I sure remember it." But now she's playing an actress who is being harassed by her former football star ex, and Andrew has to move into her house and have sex with her to protect her. This series just gets sillier and sillier, and there is another yet to go!
When it comes to erotics, the series can't quite compete with Gregory Dark's on the surface quite similar ANIMAL INSTINCTS films - maybe because here, the focus is on the man, not the woman. Sex is always just a pawn in a game, never something to be explored on its own terms. Still, this one is quite inventive, especially the mirroring of domestic surveillance equipment and television studio apparatus. The electronic gaze always demands, maybe even summons, an object.
This gets the series back on track from the second one's detour into action movie territory, while still reuniting Stevens and Tweed, with Tweed playing a completely different character (a television star) while Stevens is hired to protect her from a crazy ex.
The other interesting plot is that the “Night Eyes” security company run by Stevens is at risk of a hostile takeover from another security film that ends up spying on Stevens and Tweed! This plot is obviously self-referential, which ends up happening to these DTV erotic thrillers fairly frequently: the rival security firm is like the big-budget studio erotic thrillers moving in on the little guys like...Andrew Stevens (who, it is worth noting, is also directing this time around).
I thought these story lines made this film much more interesting than #2.
