Hostel: Part III - Before you watch this - ask yourself some questions... 

Did you like the original Hostel film? If the answer is `yes' then did you like the sequel, Hostel Part II? If you liked that one as well, then know about Hostel Part III that it is the first in the series to be released straight to DVD. Naturally, this means that it will have less of a budget to play with and possibly less capable actors (also it was not written or directed by Eli Roth).

So, knowing all, this, if you still think you can get some enjoyment out of it, give it a go. There are films that get bad reviews (and I've read some terrible ones about Hostel III), but what did people expect from a second sequel that's gone straight to DVD?

I thought it was a reasonable addition to the series. Okay, the gore is lessened and a lot happens off camera and the performances aren't as polished as before, but it does what's expected. It comes across as a darker version of the Hangover as it's now set in Las Vegas after a stag night gone bad.

My advice: know what you're in for before you watch. It might not be as good as the first two, but it's not as bad as some people are making out.
