Review
Brief storyline of the season, continues after the events of Series 2 with returning characters Simon, Kelly, Alisha and Curtis - are joined by new kid on the block Rudy for community service. Rudy gets a rude awakening in his first few days as he learns that with the keys to the infamous locker room comes a great deal of running and screaming and, in some instances, killing.
Misfits has been one of these shows, when the writing is smart, funny and emotional it’s the best to watch on Saturday night but when it’s slow, stupid and drags out the jokes too long it can be the worst show to watch, that’s I found watching Misfits throughout the three years of it being air on E4,   Series 1 went with the “Skins” idea of individual character episode then later on having a group episode now and again, this didn’t work for myself has it took forever into and I ended up disliking some of the characters straight away. With Series 2 on other hand it blow me away with its brilliant new storyline of Sam traveling through time to save Alisha…much like the TV series “Heroes” but with a teen like twist, which surprisely worked very well especially as Nathan played by Robert Sheehan is funny character to watch he’s acting was miles better, even the jokes was well done so it was sad to see him leave the show, in my opinion the last series was best for a lot of different reasons.

Now the group are back again with Series 3 but with some major changes, Robert Sheehan, who played the outspoken Nathan, decided to leave the show to follow he’s path in films and other projects which brings a brand new character of Ruby who is foul mouthed and slightly mad. Lucky I enjoy watching he’s type of comedy and I found he’s character to be very interesting in some episodes, so it takes place where the end of series two left off with the group each having new powers as a result of trading them for others. This is a good method for the writers to add fresh impetus into the series by exploring new angles, the show continues to do things its own way by telling its own unique stories whilst retaining the series trademark dark humour. So has this series done better than last year? Well…..Yes! And …..No! There’s a lot of hit and miss episodes throughout the series, the opening is funny, interesting and done well with including the new guy Ruby plus it was great to see the cast with new powers, apart from Curtis' ability of changing into a woman episode 2 was the worst story (and worst power) that I’ve seen in any superhero type series, I really don’t know what the writers were thinking but the weird thing is that episode 3 had a brilliant storyline of Sam facing against Peter (the comic book nerd) linking to the events of series 2, it goes to show when the writing is well done it’s a fantastic show but by doing stories like Curtis’s sex change or Ruby’s dick falling off lol then it’s stupid to watch, thank god they removed power with this resurrection idea (which was a great episode).

Overall this series does contain a lot of good episodes with Sam’s mask superhero storyline and Seth (the power dealer) relationship with Kelly, episode five is the emotional episode and the finale was brilliant with returning characters but also had some hit and miss episodes, which can be off putting. If you in enjoyed the last year and dark humour which goes with it, your probably like this series.

Thanks for reading :D

Cast: Thomas Kretschmann (Wanted), Zulay Henao (Fighting), Kip Pardue (ER: Series), Brian Hallisay (first feature film), Barry Livingston (Zodiac) and Sarah Habel (Whip it)

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
