Threequels can often be a daunting undertaking for even the most accomplished of directors, and even for franchises with decent first two installments. Candyman 3: Day of the Dead takes a fairly offensive stab at the Mexican holiday, while Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III doesn’t live up to the pre-release marketing hype about it being ‘banned’ and ‘the most controversial movie ever made’. It was neither. Even Scream 3, despite not necessarily being bad per se, is a low point considering how strong the first two movies are. On the flip side though, George Romero’s Day of the Dead is a solid follow-up to both Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead, while Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead threequel Army of Darkness is a total blast. So, after Hostel: Part II grossed significantly less than the hit opening chapter, did that put any notions...

Monsters in the horror genre are endlessly nuanced. They can be physically daunting, emotionally horrifying, violent, manipulative, abject, paranormal, and so on. But a consistent thread is that they all start from somewhere. Now, we may not have the luxury of being granted a fully fleshed-out backstory for every monstrous creature, villain, or anti-hero ever to grace the screen, but we can normally chalk their inception up to two scenarios: They're either deeply othered non-human beings, invading the norm and representative of an external threat on society, or there are homegrown, society-made monsters — an amalgamation of humanity's pitfalls, ugliness, and actions that led to a creation that reflecting humanity's misdeeds back to it.
Oftentimes, this perspective can be interpreted as conservative or reactionary, but that doesn't really apply to the "Good for Her" horror subgenre.

Mitchell Lichtenstein’s cult classic “Teeth” sure still has bite. As “Teeth” celebrates its 15th anniversary this year, it’s only fitting to look back on the legacy of the “vagina dentata” origin story. Written and directed by Lichtenstein, “Teeth” stars Jess Weixler as Dawn, a high school student who has committed her body to the Promise, an abstinence group that preaches on the unlawful act of sex.
The at-times outrageously campy film has a foreboding score reminiscent of “The Room” crossed with a misplaced fever dream ode to John Carpenter, framing Dawn’s dedication to keeping herself pure like a character trait one of the many victims of a slasher may have. The blonde-haired, blue-eyed virgin has a distinct memory of being digitally penetrated by her creepy step-brother as a child…and let’s just say, neither of them forget it.
Is Dawn our final girl? Not quite.

The road to “How to Get Away with Murder” is lined with dead bodies. Twenty-eight to be exact. Over the years, the series showed that there’s no shortage of ways to die. Suicide, poison, overdose, suffocation — you name it.
The most shocking deaths, of course, are the “anchors”: In the season’s first half, each episode reveals a new detail about the murder while the second half reveals how they covered it up. But there are a few others that stand out, as well.
In the first season, for example, Lila Stangard (Megan West) was done in by Frank (Charlie Weber), a proxy of Sam (Tom Verica) in a way that actually made the “cheating husband kills his pregnant girlfriend” schtick interesting. In the second season, Rebecca Sutter (Katie Findlay) was also killed, delighting audiences due to seeing a calm, murderous side to Bonnie (Liza Weil). And then,...

Cicely Tyson got away with her fourth Best Drama Guest Actress Emmy Award nomination for playing Annalise Keating’s (Viola Davis) mother, Ophelia Harkness, on the fifth season of “How to Get Away With Murder.” With the exception of the second season she’s been nominated for each year of the show, yet she has yet to take home the Emmy statuette for the ABC legal thriller. Will she finally prevail on her fourth go-around, now that “Murder” itself nabbed its most-ever bids for a single season?

Through four seasons, ABC’s “How to Get Away With Murder” has produced six Emmy nominations — all for acting, for Viola Davis and Cicely Tyson. But it’s high time for another “Murder” vet, Liza Weil, to break through at the Emmys, after giving yet another powerful performance this season. Can Weil finally get away with a bid, just like her character has, well, gotten away with murder?
Spoiler alert for Season 5!
Since the show’s inception, we’ve witnessed Bonnie (Weil) go through tough times, and this season unsurprisingly put her through the wringer yet again. The season starts out well for her: back-and-forth text messages with her boyfriend Ronald Miller (John Hensley), dinner with Annalise (Davis), and yes, even a beaming smile on her face. That quickly changes when she is, once again, forced to face her traumatic past and comes face to face with her long-estranged sister.

In its fifth season, “How To Get Away With Murder” is “going back to basics with Annalise in the classroom” — but showrunner Pete Nowalk promises plenty of new mysteries, including another death and the arrival of a new law student, Gabriel Maddox (Rome Flynn).
“Annalise started as a lawyer who wanted splashy cases and attention and to win the game, and I think she’s been through so much s— she needs to, in her heart, feel like a redeemable person so she’s trying to give back [now],” says Nowalk.
So she throws herself into a teaching a third-year law school class, but also to continue her work on Nate Lahey Sr.’s (Glynn Turman) case. “He won the Supreme Court case but now he gets to re-try his case, so we’re going to watch that happen, too, this season,” Nowalk says.

“Pretty Bad Actress” is a pretty muddled movie, distinguished by vertiginous tonal shifts, wildly uneven performances, hit-and-miss satirical thrusts, and cavernous gaps in narrative logic. Indeed, it’s not entirely clear just when this strained farce — involving a fallen-from-grace former child star who may get a career boost from her own kidnapping — is supposed to take place. Conspicuous displays of VHS tapes, flip-top phones, and other period indicators appear to be hallmarks of a 1990s period piece. Sporadically, however, there are pop-culture references that suggest a contemporary timeframe. Even before writer-director Nick Scown springs a brazenly absurd third-act plot twist, it’s tempting to entertain the possibility that, hey, maybe everybody involved in this untidy enterprise simply made things up as they went along.
Despite being cast in the title role, Heather McComb actually gives a credible and creditable performance that consistently stands out as one of the film’s few saving graces.

Some of the greatest monsters lay in wait, within suburbia. This is the basic premise for Adam Cushman's Restraint. Recently, this film had a showing at the Buffalo International Film Festival. It has also appeared at the Rhode Island International Film Festival. Inside Restraint, a woman becomes catatonic, first. Then, she turns violent in her family home. Restraint stars: Dana Ashbrook, John Hensley and Geoffrey Rivas. The film's latest trailer is hosted here. The trailer takes awhile to build tension. But, the clip offers an unsettling film score, courtesy of Icelandic composer Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson. It also shows some of the film's more violent sequences, with one character dragged off-screen. Never judge a book by its cover as Angela (Caitlyn Folley) slowly becomes unhinged. A release date, for Restraint, has not been announced. However, the film continues a film festival run, throughout 2017. More festival dates will be announced shortly.

Did you watch long-running FX drama, Nip/Tuck? If you have been missing the graphic, plastic surgery sudser since it was cancelled in 2010, you might be in luck. Creator Ryan Murphy is mulling over a revival of the series. During the "Ryan Murphy and Friends" panel at Entertainment Weekly's EW Fest, Murphy suggested bringing back the series with new writers and recasting the main characters with two female leads.
The original series ran for 100 episodes and starred Dylan Walsh as Dr. Sean McNamara and Julian McMahon as Dr. Christian Troy. Joely Richardson and John Hensley rounded out the main cast for all six seasons. Roma Maffia, Kelly Carlson, Jessalyn Gilsig, and Bruno Campos also starred.

We’re still a long ways away from indulging in a new season of American Horror Story, but that doesn’t mean we can’t devour every little morsel creator Ryan Murphy drops about it. Vulture has an excellent interview with the busy showrunner who is currently developing two feature-films, The Normal Heart and the A-list musical, One Hit Wonders. Murphy is doing this while juggling three television shows: Glee on Fox, American Horror Story on FX, and his promising new family comedy, The New Normal, which was ordered to series at the NBC Upfronts earlier this month.
In the interview, Murphy peeled back the tinfoil on the roast he’s cooking up for Season 2 of Ahs. He reiterated that it centers around Jessica Lange’s new character who is running an institution for the criminally insane. He revealed that Chloë Sevigny (Big Love) will join the cast. The first...

As regards the Hostel franchise and its peers, I suspect that many diehard readers of Famous Monsters might primarily be more at home with the “classic” monster archetypes such as zombies, vampires, aliens, etc. In fact, the horror community in general has been rather vocal as of late in hastily brushing aside the “torture porn” trend that has inundated the genre scene in recent years, and which was partly ushered in by Rob Zombie, Eli Roth, and the Saw franchise. Like all fads, it rapidly engendered a lot of imitators, some passable but most direly inferior, and soon the backlash was apparent in critics’ dismissal of such grisly, one-note affairs as just another one of “those” movies.

I will mention first and foremost that I have never been a fan of this series. When Eli Roth was at the helm, I thought Hostel was gimmicky and cheap, playing off the success of gore driven movies like Final Destination and Saw. I have always liked the idea of the Elite Hunting Club and the kill scenes were very good, but I just thought the movies had little substance. Obviously most of you don’t think the same or the films would not have gotten the blockbuster success that they have. Even with all that, it was no surprise that Roth would leave the franchise and the next film would get a straight to DVD release.

When the recipe calls for "torture porn," Eli Roth seems to be the first go-to name on everyone's list due to his work with the Hostel franchise.
Though it is a film full of gratuitous nudity, ultraviolent gore and unflinching profanity that has garnered a lot of flack from critics over the years, I still enjoyed the first Hostel enough to check out the sequels and bear the crosses of their disappointments. The idea of going backpacking in Europe and being kidnapped by hostile foreigners is a really clever and frightening concept; part of the effectiveness of the original two films was the forbidding, unfamiliar terrain of eastern Europe, where the government is lax and the people can get away with murder.
When I saw the trailer for Hostel 3, I wasn't overly impressed.

The third time isn.t exactly the charm for the Hostel franchise as the gruesome comes stateside. The results are more torturous to sit through than their torture porn predecessors. Well, maybe not that bad, but the twists were too often guessed by me and therefore spoiled much of the surprise. Scott (Brian Hallisay) is being taken to Vegas by his buddy Carter (Kip Pardue) for Scott.s bachelor party. They meet up with their other friends Mike (Skyler Stone), who is happy to be away from his wife, and Justin (John Hensley), who is handicapped and unlucky with the ladies. They take Scott to an isolated club where they meet up with two hookers Nikki (Zulay Henao) and...

It was back on Friday, September 17, 2010, that I flew to Detroit, Michigan, for a set visit of director Scott Spiegel’s then-filming Hostel Part III (which releases direct-to-dvd via Sony Pictures Home Entertainment on December 27th). As my flight descended toward Detroit Metro and I looked through the plane’s windows at the city below, the metropolis seemed a sadly appropriate location to film the third installment in the historically bleak Hostel series.
The gray skies and dormant smokestacks and brick buildings set beneath it effortlessly communicated the economically ravaged Slovakia in which the preceding films took place, and as I would find, my set visit would touch me deeply, more for the ravaged state of this once great American city than the blood the filmmaker would spill in it, however.

Banking off the two highly successful Eli Roth directed movies (neither film was that good in my opinion), the third installment has the every exclusive Hunting Club operating out of Las Vegas. Here is the official plot details and new clip from the film.

Director: Scott Spiegel.
Writers: Michael D. Weiss and Eli Roth.
Hostel: Part III is the latest in a franchise that was labelled "torture porn," by one reviewer. There is less torture in this second sequel and more prostitutes, double-dealings and betting on murder instead. To release on DVD December 27th, Hostel: Part III is a fun time spent in Las Vegas with four friends out to have fun. Well, one friend is out for murder, but three out of four searching for good times is not bad. A tense thriller, this latest picture will satisfy most horror fans while those searching for "torture porn" will be left saying: "where is the bloody beef?"
Mike (Skyler Stone), Justin (John Hensley), Carter (Kip Pardue), and Scott (Brian Hallisay) meet up in Las Vegas after giving their wives or significant others the slip. Soon, they meet two call-girls, Nicki (Zulay Henao) and Kendra...

To get you warmed up for the movie we posted a few of the images below. To see more photo's check out our Hostel III Image Gallery Hostel: Part III will be released straight to DVD, Blu-Ray and digital download unrated on December 27, 2011.

Part three? Yes, dear readers. Part three. “Intruder” director Scott Spiegel takes the reins for the third installment in the “Hostel” franchise, the first of which that’s not directed by Eli Roth. The film follows a group of morons who take a trip to Las Vegas, only to find themselves being tortured inside an American branch of the Elite Hunting Club. If that premise sounds like a good time to you, perhaps this collection of images will tickle your sadistic fancy. “Hostel: Part 3″, which stars Kip Pardue, Brian Hallisay, Sarah Habel, John Hensley, Skyler Stone, Chris Coy, and Thomas Kretschmann, hits DVD and Blu-ray on December 23rd, 2011. If you missed the trailer, that little slice of heaven has been included, as well...

The Eli Roth-less 'Hostel: Part III' hits DVD and digital download later this month courtesy of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Scott Spiegel helms the third movie in the torturous trilogy which moves the action from Eastern Europe all the way slap-bang into Las Vegas. A stackathon of new stills from the threequel have popped over at Dread Central but gore-hounds may be disappointed that none of them are particularly revealing in the 'sickening' department so we guess you'll just have to pick up the DVD at the end of the month. Kip Pardue ('Stag Night'), Thomas Kretschmann ('Transsiberian'), John Hensley, Sarah Habel, Barry Livingston, Kelly Thiebaud (below), Brain Hallisay, Skyler Stone, Danny Jacobs, Chris Coy, Alicia Vela-Bailey and Gordon Michaels all star. Check out just some of the new stills and DVD artwork below. You can head over to the Dread Central link below for the rest!

My God 2007 seems like a long time ago, don’t you think? With the Saw phenomenon having given way to Paranormal Activity franchise, torture porn was beginning to feel like a thing of the past. Like the Crazy Frog or economic stability.
It turns out Sony Pictures Home Entertainment disagree. The studio has just released the trailer for Hostel: Part III, a compilation of footage which appears to show a heavy focus on bronzed buttocks, screaming tourists and – I’m sorry, it’s uncanny – a particularly hostile looking Na’vi.
Set for a straight-to-dvd release on December 27th, Hostel: Part III relocates the carnage to Las Vegas, where another group of healthy looking young actors are gassed and subsequently subjected to everything from electric drills to weird, cockroachy looking things; each device selected using the slightly unimaginative “Wheel of Misfortune”.

December 27th will see the DVD and Digital release of Hostel 3 through Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Eli Roth is no longer at the helm, instead Scott Spiegel has moved up from his Executive Producer status on the first two movies to take the director’s chair on this second sequel. If you’ve seen his 1989 movie Intruder, which is set for a Blu-ray release also in December and we covered here, then you will know that he is not a man to shy away from spreading a little claret across the screen. The action has also been moved away from Eastern Europe and dropped into the glitz that is Las Vegas. So just remember boys and girls that whatever happens in Vegas is bound to be very, very painful.

I've never been a big fan of the Hostel films, but I know there are a lot of people that love watching people being brutally tortured. Just so you know Hostel creator Eli Roth had nothing to do with this third film. Hostel III was directed by Scott Spiegel from a screenplay by Michael D. Weiss. I don't think I'll be watching the movie, I'm not feeling lucky with it.
Synopsis:
High stakes gambling takes on a sinister new meaning in this third chapter of the terrifying Hostel series.

Once there, they are horrified to find themselves the subjects of a perverse game of torture, where members of the Elite Hunting Club are hosting the most sadistic show in town.

Hostel 3 Trailer. Scott Spiegel‘s Hostel: Part III (2011) movie trailer, produced by Eli Roth, stars Thomas Kretschmann, Kip Pardue, John Hensley, Sarah Habel, and Barry Livingston. Hostel: Part 3‘s plot synopsis: “High stakes gambling takes on a sinister new meaning in this third chapter of the terrifying Hostel series. While attending a bachelor party in Las Vegas, four friends are enticed by two sexy escorts to join them at a private party way off the Strip. Once there, they are horrified to find themselves the subjects of a perverse game of torture, where members of the Elite Hunting Club are hosting the most sadistic show in town.”
The first Hostel was good but I wish the original, more brutal ending had not been excised from the film. The second and third acts of Hostel: Part II were a disappointment but I liked what Eli Roth tried to do with the film.

Hostel: Part III is the first film in the series to not have Eli Roth directing. Instead, actor, writer and director Scott Spiegel (Evil Dead II) will take up the torch in this straight-to-dvd launch. Raw Nerve will again produce, with Roth taking a secondary role on this film as producer. Now, the first trailer is available for the film, which shows several groom's men out on the town in Las Vegas. Sin City turns out to be a little more dangerous when the city's bloodsport community comes out at night to play.
The Elite Hunting Club is back and this time they offer torture in an underground arena where the most fantastic kill wins the money. This title will release on DVD December 27th and take a look at the franchise that defined the term torture porn back in 2005 with this sadistic trailer.
Release Date: December 27th, 2011 (DVD).
Director: Scott Spiegel.

It had to be expected really… Given the moderate , yet dwindling, success of the Hostel franchise, the third film in the series, cleverly named Hostel Part III, is headed direct to DVD without the involvement of writer/director Eli Roth. Instead the three-quel is directed by Scott Speigel, who was the co-writer of Evil Dead 2 and the director of the fantastic 80s supermarket slasher Intruder (and more recently the Dusk Till Dawn DVD sequels), and stars Brian Hallisay, Kip Pardue, John Hensley, Chris Coy, Skyler Stone and Sarah Habel.

Hostel: Part III will be arriving by the end of the year, but is not a full theatrical release. Instead, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has developed this film as a direct-to-dvd title that takes the Elite Hunting Club to Las Vegas.

Hostel: Part III will be available as an unrated DVD and digital formats on December 27th.
