Hostel: Part III (2011)

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Heading off for a bachelor party, a group of friends decide to leave their Las Vegas party for another gathering hosted by some friends only to learn that they've stumbled upon a group of torturers using the strip as their hunting grounds and must fight them off to get away alive.This here was an enjoyable enough entry in the series. One of the more enjoyable parts to this one is the more enhanced and believable outcome of the society featured here that's quite thrilling. There's some nice work here detailing how they come about getting involved with the club as the opening party makes for a solid grouping of depravity and sleaze that works well in tying this into the rest of the series, and features a great way to bring about their eventual kidnapping and delivery into the system. That in itself leads to the film's greatest aspect in how this ties the torture system into the current location by showcasing the torture room as an attraction to gamble on for the patrons observing everything happening on a stage, and that fits into the location so well that it really adds nicely to the film by making these torture scenes much more engaging than they should be. As that also leads into the main part of the film which is the torture scenes in front of the patrons, that leaves this one with some pretty chilling scenes here with the facial and the insect swarm featuring some rather enjoyable elements. The finale, with its charge into their underground society which presents not only more brutality but a few rather ingenious twists thrown in as well which makes for a rather rousing and much more enjoyable outing than expected. There are a few problems here, mainly in the fact that like the rest of the films in the series its first half is dominated by the scenes outside the compound as it falls into endless scenes of them wandering around Vegas trying to find the missing people that it really doesn't even get to their society until the final half hour so the pacing to this is really off. Likewise, there's the fact that this one tends to throw itself into twists rather for the sake of ensuring a rather surprising aspect to this one, and it's piling on here simply for that reason. None of the real twists here are built upon doing this for any real reason other than this factor, and it's quite infuriating to get thrown another twist about what's happening simply for the manner of just getting that twist. Alongside some rather dodgy kills that look silly in execution, these here are what really hold this one down.Rated R: Extreme Graphic Language, Graphic Violence, Nudity and drug use.

Hostel: Part III (2011) is the third (and final?) chapter in the Hostel series. This time instead of taking place in a hostel, it's about a group of friends who are looking for a wild night in Las Vegas for there friends bachelor party. But everything turns egg shape when they run afoul of those lovely folks from the Elite Hunting Club decide to do a little business with their wealthy clients in Sin City. Can the party boys elude those bored rich customers of Elite or will they end up on somebody's wall?The third chapter in the Hostel series is directed b Sami Raimi protégé Scott Spiegel and written by DTV scribe Michael Weiss. I thought the movie was a fun time waster that was entertaining but do not watch the R-Rated version because you'll miss out on makes the Hostel trilogy a cut above the rest.

While the second movie did have a real tie in to the first (which as I have previously said, did not work out), this does not take any cues from it's predecessors. Which is a good thing and makes it slightly better for having a sort of spin off approach to it. There are false expectations and a lot of red herrings, some might annoy you, because you might see them coming a long time before they arrive, but overall, this achieves what it set out to do.While not as great as part 1, it does achieve something that part 2 never had: A connection (even if it's a small one) with our main characters. Too many twists get that a bit out of control, but overall this is worth a watch, with a different director this time around to ensure a different result/approach

This movie is different to the previous two Hostel movies, very different. It may not of been directed by Eli Roth, however do not let that distract you from what I found a great film. I must admit the start of the film is misleading, however I soon got over that and continued watching and waiting for the gore that the 18 certificate promised. At times, if you have seen the first two films, you may be thinking 'oh here we go'. However, you would be mistaken. Frustratingly yet very teasingly Hostel 3 keeps you waiting and wondering, until you just know it's time for more blood. People have discredited this film because 'the deaths weren't good enough', I believe that is a ludicrous accusation as the heavy twists and turns are enough to literally get you out of your seat (well at least it did for me). As the film came to close I began shouting and laughing with sheer amazement as to how a film could grab me and entice me as much as this 88 minutes thriller did. There are a few small things that don't quite fully clear themselves up, but as far as 88 minutes of pure sadistic enjoyment go, Hostel 3 is exactly what I was looking for.
