Don't listen to the negative reviews

best movie i've ever seen.

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Ukrainian couple Victor and Anka are taken prisoners by the Elite Hunting Club. Scott is having his bachelor party leaving his fiancée Amy behind. Instead of going golfing, Carter takes him to Vegas where they meet up with Mike and Justin. Kendra and Nikki invites them to something a little freaky. After a night of partying, Mike is taken. The other guys try to find him and encounter Kendra who is also looking for missing Nikki.It won't matter to fans whether this is good or not. The defacing is a good way to start but the bugs are kind of stupid. In general, I have a problem with moving the franchise to Vegas. Part of the appeal is clueless first world people going to third world backwaters where they get torn apart. This doesn't have that. The kills aren't as good as before. The gladiatorial combat also takes away from the message of the franchise where money can buy anything.

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.

Eli Roth himself has said that a movie should never surpass two installments. Well, even though Hostel part 3 should not have been done at all, it would have been extremely better had it been directed by Roth, which is why is a shame that he chose to stay true to his word. I have to say I did not have any expectations about this movie. I watched it with my mother who's also a big hostel fan, and we both knew this wasn't going to be like the first ones, but it ended up being so much worse. The change of director is blatantly obvious in this movie, and not in a positive way. The first two movies had an eeriness and nightmare-like quality that made them stand out, while the third movie is bland and forced. The characters from the first two films were believable and actually quite likable, making you root for them in a matter of minutes - which is, in my opinion, one of the most important elements of a good horror picture -, and the ones here just annoyed me to no end and I was actually satisfied when some of them died.The torture scenes are laughable and the dialogs and acting are so bad I had to avert my eyes from the screen out of second-hand embarrassment for the actors. After the movie ended, I simply stared at my screen for ten minutes trying to process what the heck I had just watched. As it hit me that one of my favorite horror franchises had been ruined by this ridiculous straight-to-DVD "threequel", I was just plain angry. So, basically, if you want some laughs at the expense of terrible, horrible, awful filmmaking, watch hostel part 3. If you want to watch a movie that is actually any good, avoid this at all costs.

Hostel: Part III was released a few years after the torture sub-genre lost its popularity with audiences. Many people blamed Hostel: Part II (which bombed) but the truth is that the torture craze (much like the self-referential slasher craze before it) was dying off. It could only sustain for so long. Which makes me wonder why the filmmakers wanted to make a third film. The absence of Eli Roth's masterful direction is definitely to the movie's detriment. This second sequel is far less gruesome than the others. Though it has some interesting ideas (the "murder casino" comes to mind) and a couple of pretty cool twists, the novelty of the first two movies has worn off. It just comes across as unnecessary.
