Nam vet Brett (once again played by Mike Hartfield) is now an international man of mystery who goes hopping around the globe and executing possessed crappers at will. (Even though they all look like the same toilet in the same bathroom.) He returns home to learn the original possessed potty has been removed from his brother’s house and relocated to a church. In order to stop the killer John once and for all, he’ll have to resurrect his dead priest pal Father Dingleberry (Isaac Golub).
The toilet has gotten a nice upgrade this time around as it now has the ability to completely dismember its victims. Instead of just taking their balls, it can cut off hands, feet, and heads. Brett also uses a funny possessed toilet locator that beeps whenever he’s close to a killer commode. Speaking of which, the clever(ish) script also comes up with some amusing alliterative slang for the terrible toilet this time around, which makes it all semi-worthwhile. (My favorite was “Porcelain Poltergeist”.)
All that doesn’t necessarily make Death Toilet 3: Doody Calls “good”, but it’s certainly an improvement over the last movie. Heck there were even a few moments where I have to admit, I chuckled to myself. (Like when the ghost of the priest shows up dragging a trail of toilet paper behind him.). That almost makes up for the long, annoying Nam flashback scenes filled with nauseating first person POV shots. It doesn’t quite excuse the irritating music score that drones on and on. Or the needless slow motion or the repeated dialogue scenes. Or the flashbacks to the other movies that are only there to pad things out (which is odd, since at fifty-two minutes it’s the shortest of the series so far). The zombie priest’s constant babbling gets a bit grating after a while, and the finale goes on too long as well. Despite that laundry list of complaints, it’s not overly crappy.
AKA: Death Toilet 3: Call of Doody.
