Hostel: Part III

I liked this movie the best out of all the different Hostels.

Crazy gory movie

1

when i heard that eli roth and quentin tarantino were not involved in the 3rd hostel installment, i'll admit i was skeptical. still, curiosity got the best of me. even losing the original european setting was a bit disturbing to me. knowing a few of the standard cast (including the geeky, spooky hostel desk clerk with the harry potter glasses, the gang of orphans and even the creepy rich old guy with the dogs from the 2nd movie) were going to be absent was not something i looked forward to. i expected a loss of a certain sense of class with the american (las vegas) setting.....but what i feared most was that this would probably turn out to be a cheap exploitation of the first 2 wonderful movies with lots of torture in a poor attempt to cover up for a lack of plot. i am happy to say that this was NOT the case!! i'll admit that even though the 1st 2 movies have become 2 of my favorite movies, i only gave each of them only 4 stars because i think they both would've benefitted by showing more torture. this flick did not have any more torture than its predecesors...which is a bit bad in some ways, but good in the fact that they did not try to exploit and cover up as i stated above. the movie does lose a certain 'european panache' with this vegas setting, but the writer and director really made an effort to try to stay true to the [shall we say] 'integrity' or true spirit of the first 2. the plot with the diverted golf vacation-turned-bachelor party was an interesting start. they kept you guessing as to who were the good guys and who were the bad guys. the vegas setting seemed to be more set on audiences watching the victims getting tortured. i laughed when i found they were placing sick bets on aspects of the torture like when the victim would beg for mercy for the sake of his family......i mean, how cold can you get??? there was a bit where they used bugs that looked like large beetles on a girl that was kind of lame. overall, this...like the first 2 could've benefitted from a bit more torture. the vegas setting was an interesting idea that allowed for scantily clad women....occasional glimpses of topless girls, but not very much. again, although the loss of the european backdrop pulled them into a certain loss of class, the writer and director made an effort to try to stay true to the original intent of the series. they fell a little short, but with surprises, twists and an able cast, they did a reasonable job of continuing the hostel series. and as i said, this was not quite as good as the first 2 hostel movies, but it was a gallant try....and better than expected!

It was ok. Don't expect this to be better than its predecessors. Without spoiling the plot, they made it a little too complicated. I feel like some of the horror is lost when all of this takes place in the United States. For me, the magic from Hostel I and II was in the characters being in an unfamiliar place and being hunted. I don't really get that sense here. There are some interesting things in this one about making the executions a game show/ exhibition, but again they did too much with the story. Unlike when I saw Hostel, it didn't take much for me to get over this movie.

I am a fan of Hostel 1 & 2, my wife is not, then i found out a friend from high school wrote the screenplay for 3...with these three good reasons to watch...how could i not. I really enjoyed the movie. The first two movies have almost the same plot, young American tourists wind up getting abducted and sold to be a victim in a torture/death club. This one is different, and better. Not only is the plot much better tha the first two, but there are some really unexpected twists that make this one the best of the trio.

I love movies like this but at the same time it freaks me out knowing that I’m sure this goes on somewhere.

So glad I watched this movie. Scary, just the way I like it. Make some popcorn, sit back and enjoy the show !!!

Got the DVD in a1 condition .Dvd case is impressive !movie is a torture, murder movie! There is a lot of bloodshed in the movie! Scenes are very graphic and bloody.plot of the movie is when 4 friends attend a bachelor party in LAS VEGAS,are enticed by two sexy escorts to join a private party....soon find out that they are victims of a torture game... Run by members of an elite hunting club...

Très beau film d'horreur

ん〜 やはりDVDスルーだし 監督がスピーゲルさん… 設定は悪くないが 殺す側 殺される側の駆け引きが いい味を出すこのシリーズ においては 今回のストーリーは… 新しさを出そうとしていて 凄く作り自体はいいんだが ボリューム不足 ビジュアル的には カイジ2て感じ ホステル前2作は 被害者っぷりがたまらん感じだったんだけど 今回はまんま役者さんて感じがして…きな臭え 心地よいサディスティックさは皆無。 殺しの部分が驚くくらいあっさりしている、しかし、ストーリーは意外な感じに… (ネタバレなんで伏せます) 【 ベニ的評価 △舞台ラスベガス ▲残虐性 ○ビジュアル △役者さん ◎凶器(ハンパなく痛そうww) ▲血 △エロ(乳あり☆) ○シリーズ臭(本○とかww) △ストーリー◎敵】 まあ、なにはともあれホステルを観たことある人はとりあえず観ておいたほうがいいですね。。キレイな作品ですよ! 駄作ではないです はい。 次回作 この展開でイーライロス監督に繋げば 期待大ですね(^-^)

Good movie. Good quality DVD

Très bon film pour finir cette saga, le Blu Ray n'améliore pas tellement la qualité du film que j'avais en dvd mais ça prend déjà moins de place.
