Review
Brief storyline of
the film, while attending a bachelor party in Las Vegas, four friends are
enticed by two sexy escorts to join them at a private party way off the Strip.
Once there, they are horrified to find themselves the subjects of a perverse
game of torture, where members of the Elite Hunting Club are hosting the most
sadistic show in town.
The franchise
of “Hostel” has been scene as sick, horrible, torture violence of unbelievable lengths
through the films getting worse with each sequel added on, Eli Roth the writer
and the director for the first two Hostel films takes back a step from this
franchise in past interviews saying “I didn’t want make another” but of course
a horror companies must continue and drag it out until people get bored *cough*
Saw *cough* now Eli Roth only producer this third sequel not director could explain
it being a Direct-to-Dvd release lol This storyline is unlike the past films,
it opens in a new direction of horror with the opening scene with a little
twist if you watched the first two films then your got the joke right away, It throws
the knowledge you once knew about the franchise and givens something a little different.
The Elite Hunting Club members are of course back again, only this time they're
not on foreign ground. That's right, kids; Hostel Part III brings the horrors
of being killed by the sadistic rich maniacs Stateside, and what better place
to host the debauchery than the city of sin itself, Las Vegas?!?
There must
be victims of these horrible killing with four friends heading down to Las
Vegas has the main character Scott (Brian Hallisay) is about to get married, and
like good friends there are two escorts who invite our soon to be hungover
quartet to a private party off the Strip…. Of course things go wrong…. Very
wrong….the actors is okay in playing their characters some you really don’t
care about because their dipshits basically so they get kidnapped very quickly I
wouldn't expect the same level interesting characters like the other films “Hostel
2” I think was the best in showing that from the psychopaths POV and the
victims, only reason a person who would watch this film is for the violence and
gory which even that wasn’t very good It’s funny how the first two films was
trying to actually scary you with the unknown reasons, camerawork and level of
shocking scenes done in my opinion….this film failed to deliver that there was
probably one scene that I thought was a bit sick out of 88mintues watching it.
Overall the
film is a rip off from “Hostel” the horror is disappointed and boring in a lot of
scenes, it doesn’t give you same feel like the past films. The storyline is
pretty easy to forgive as well the characters; the ending is very stupid
especially the reasons given why one psychopath says to the victim….truth me I was
like “What are you 13 years old get over it” you’ll see lol if you’re after a
really good horror then watch “Saw” only watch this if you got 88mintures to waste.
Thanks for
reading :D
