CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Michael Ledo I liked this movie better than the second installment, although not nearly as good as the first one. The action now goes to Vegas with a bachelor party of four guys. The franchise has come to America. The movie consists of basically the same stuff, torture, killing, and scantily clad/ nude girls. What makes this one different is the excessive amount of twists the story takes. It constantly leads you in one direction and BAM! Did not see that coming.If you like your snuff films with pretty women serving drinks, wagering and a few twists, this is it. Hey I just got a great idea for Hangover III.Guide: F-bomb, nudity

John Naylor I have watched all three Hostel movies back to back in the past day. I found parts 1 and 2 were entertaining with some memorable ideas. I found this one to be lacking the depth or interest that the first two have. Even the deaths seemed a little disappointing. Some of them just looked cheap and one of the most surprising things occurred to someone who was already dead.The change of location also did not help the viewing. Slovakia was a an interesting setting. Las Vegas (the little we saw of it) just wasn't. I feel that the artificial nature of Las Vegas does mirror how much was lost from the series. The hunting club seemed devalued by the way it turned into a gambling show.There are a lot of good ideas and 'what ifs' based around both this movie and the series. I would have loved this sequel to provide something new but in the end it just did not deliver like the first two movies did. It does get better as it goes along. The third act has nearly all the best moments of the movie.This was by no means a bad movie. It just lacked execution (in more ways than one). I can see why Eli Roth decided not to do it and also why it went straight to DVD.4 stars. The last act earned 2 of those.

Serdar Kaya Hostel series commenced in 2005. That first installment was unusual in more than one way. The first half of the 93-minute movie bordered soft porn. The remaining scenes were largely composed of explicit displays of sadism and cruelty. These displays were so extreme that even the biggest fans of the genre found them disturbing. Accompanying that brutality was the shocking indifference to human life and dignity, as was portrayed - among others - in the the oven scene, where a facility worker burned body parts like they were pieces of wood.Two years later, the second installment continued where the first one had left off, and revisited the chambers of torture and death. Unlike its predecessor, this second movie did not include any sex scenes. In regard to the graphic displays of sadism and corporal dismemberment, however, it was business as usual.Nevertheless, the second movie also exerted a small yet important effort to go beyond the acts of cruelty, and explore the psychological motives behind them. The changes in the behavior of the two characters after their first actual experience in the torture chamber manifested such motives to a certain degree. Also important were the scenes that displayed these two torturers' entrance to the premises, and their process of dressing up for the act. These scenes have no dialogues. The only sound viewers hear is Synećku, Synećku - a sad Slovakian love song by the band Varmužova Cimbálová Muzika. The contrast between the song and the scenes offer a touching example of what human beings are capable of doing to each other.In 2011, Part III constituted a deviation from the first two installments in a number of respects. First, the events took place in Las Vegas, Nevada, and not Slovakia. Secondly, the tortures occurred not in a crude and secluded environment but in a "decent" setting where the viewers betted on some trivia regarding the torture. Besides these peculiarities regarding the conduct of torture, the storyline was quite ordinary for the genre.How do these movies deserve to be rated on a scale of zero to ten? Despite its serious shortcomings, the first movie may deserve an eight, due to its innovative nature that took The Texas Chainsaw Massacre to a whole new level. Albeit a much better production than its predecessor, the second movie is probably a seven, since it cannot get any credit for originality. Finally, the third movie is a six.

videorama-759-859391 Hopefully the last in the trilogy, this one taking place in a different hostel. Again we have more hot chicks (one Russian with big you know... a knockout) and a few impressive twists, the opening one is a killer, literally, but still this one falls below par. Also it's not as gory as the other two. This hostel, sees a different change of setting, located in, would you believe, Vegas, which again sees unwilling innocents, drugged and kidnapped, this time taken out to this private casino out in the desert, where rich business guys get richer, gambling at the expense of the victim, a different concept of story I liked. A bachelor and his mates, (Kip Pardue, the only known actor in this, playing his best mate) go to Vegas, where they finally wind up at this private affair. One victim has to his face peeled off with a scalpel, a prostitute is fed these cockroaches of death. There re a couple of the inventive murders, but despite the good assets I've just mentioned, it still comes off as a just a cheesy straight to video affair. At least this ends on a more happier note, in another twist surprise. For Hostel fans mainly, this franchise has done it's dash. No more- please.
