ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
GL84 Still alive after her battle with Victor Crowley, a woman is forced to go back into the swamps to save the rescue team attempting to find the cause of the disappearances and find him still alive and hunting them down with barbaric viciousness.Overall this was an utterly enjoyable and over-the-top entry in the series that makes for a wholly enjoyable time here. What really works for this one is the sheer, utter ruthlessness on display throughout the film, which ranges from the opening attack that continues on the themes from the previous entry to the way this one goes for the different attacks and encounters throughout here, there's hardly anything in here that goes for subtlety as it's so over-the-top and gleeful in doling out this extremely fun time. There's also the return here of the utterly brutal and graphic kills that were part of the first one being put to great effect as this one is just so bloody and graphic that it manages to top the original in several cases with the brutality of the kills on display which are not only impressive for the spectacle but also for the creativity into featuring them all in one singular film. That alone would've made this one incredibly enjoyable even before the exploits of what really make this one work in the outstanding action scenes that are simply overflowing throughout the film, not only giving this another positive itself in the frantic pace but also giving this one some of the most enjoyable aspects of itself. The opening attack in the swamp is a great continuation, but it also sets up the first of the many encounters here where the recovery team meets their fate on the river-boat, the resulting massacre in the swamps and finally the film's best parts where the SWAT team is targeting the killer in here through some utterly fantastic action scenes where their weaponry is brought to bear on his hideout which results in a frantic firefight in the jungle, a series of blazing encounters where he just annihilates the entire troupe and being forced to using a bazooka in the situation all to no avail as he continues the assault on them. The final attack on the survivors in the remains of the river-boat is equally impressive resulting in some genuine tension and suspense in the situation as the slowly-growing hole and reduced shelter spaces works against the race to get there for the final dealing blow here is equally enjoyable. Likewise, the suspense from their trek through the dim, eerie swamps at the beginning makes for quite an enjoyable time, as well as allowing for a great break against the unrelenting violence, and coupled with the grisly humor throughout here and the strong story that ties the series together all makes this one truly a lot of fun. While some might find issue with the over-the- top gore, it's not enough of a detriment here against this to hold it down.Rated R: Extreme Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and Graphic Nudity.
loomis78-815-989034 Picking up exactly where part II leaves off, Marybeth (Harris) is still trying to make sure Victor Crowley (Hodder) won't return from the dead. She ends up in jail where a journalist (Williams) approaches her with what she claims is the real way to kill Crowley. All though still in custody, Marybeth, the reporter, the Sheriff (Galligan) and some of his men go back to Honey Island Swamp for a final showdown with Crowley. Adam Green turns the directing chores over to BJ McDonnell the man who shot the first two in this series. Green still wrote it and the jokes and silly spirit of the first two are more than present. There are some clever twists in the story and the cast is certainly game. The blood and gore are ridiculous as ever and McDonnell effectively nails a few jump scares. Still, while watching this, you can't help but think to yourself 'Ops maybe this went one movie too many'. Diehards will no doubt enjoy the more of the same attitude of this segment; others may feel like it has run its course.
mevanston1967 I did not have high hopes for this movie, indeed I expected I would be turning it off or fast-forwarding through it. But actually, I found it engrossing from the very beginning and I never once fast-forwarded it. There are some great actors mixed in with some not so great actors and there are several semi well-known names in this film. The story line was a bit lame, but the killings are really good, it has some scenes with great suspense and the special effects / makeup was pretty good. All in all, definitely worth a view. I think the director did a good job with what he had to work with. This movie has inspired me to want to watch parts 1 and 2, though I have been told this one is the best of the lot.
FlashCallahan A search and recovery team head into a haunted swamp to pick up the pieces of extras from the last movie.Scream queen Danielle Harris learns the secret to ending the curse that has left Victor Crowley/Jason Voorhees haunting and killing locals in Honey Island Swamp for decades.Here in the UK, it's the horror franchise that hardly anyone has heard of. The last movie had one showing in a flea bitten cinema in the worst part of my city, Leicester, so it's not a big surprise.To describe the movie, its Predator, meets Friday the 13th, by way of Terminator, but with lots and lots of gore. It's probably more gorier than the Evil Dead remake, but unlike that movie, this has a sense of humour to it, and you will find yourself chuckling along with it, not at it.But, the films structure has been done so many times before, that it doesn't offer anything new. It's basically girl walks into police station covered in blood, no one believes her because the killer died years earlier, search squad go looking for survivors, and guess what? They realise she was right all along.The support are okay, and apart from the character of Amanda, the characters are quite likable.Its worth watching, but you will have seen it so many times before.But it's the best film ever made showing that Zach Galligan hasn't aged in thirty years.
