The Rope Curse 3

Plot Overview

The Rope Curse 3 is a supernatural horror film that continues the chilling Taiwanese series rooted in traditional folklore and modern fears. This chapter follows Kuan, a talented young man from a family of exorcists, who dreams of fame as a parkour influencer. However, his ambitions lead him into a terrifying confrontation with the dark forces his ancestors once battled.

Beginning

Kuan, eager to escape the strict traditions of his exorcist family, decides to prove himself in a different way — by creating viral parkour videos. Along with a group of friends, he visits an abandoned and eerie hotel rumored to be haunted. They plan to film daring stunts to gain online attention, but the site has a grim past tied to a rope-hanging ritual once used to banish evil spirits.

Middle

During filming, Kuan accidentally disturbs a cursed rope used in one of the ancient exorcisms. Strange events begin to unfold — shadows move on their own, whispers echo through hallways, and his friends start experiencing possession-like symptoms. Kuan’s grandmother, a respected exorcist, warns him that by seeking fame, he has reopened a spiritual gateway that connects the living and the dead. As fear spreads among the group, Kuan must confront not only the supernatural but also his own inner conflict between modern ambition and ancestral duty.

Climax & Ending

As the curse intensifies, the hotel becomes a deadly trap filled with vengeful spirits. Kuan is forced to use the very rituals he once rejected to fight back. In a heart-pounding finale, he performs an exorcism that nearly costs him his life. With the spirits finally banished, he realizes that true strength lies in embracing his heritage rather than running from it. The film ends with a haunting suggestion that the curse may not be completely gone — the rope still hangs, swaying gently in the empty hotel.
