Hostel: Part III

On a glittering weekend in Las Vegas, a man tags along to his best friend's bachelor party, hoping to support the groom's upcoming nuptials and share a few laughs. What starts as a lavish send off quickly reveals a hidden threat woven into the celebration. The get-together spirals from a carefree hotel stay into a deadly trap, as a sinister scheme targets the guests with a brutal game that tests trust, nerves, and survival instincts. With the glittering Strip as a backdrop, the party devolves into chaos as alliances crumble and danger lurks in the most unexpected corners. The mood stays relentless, keeping viewers on edge. The tension never eases as the clock ticks.

Directed by Scott Spiegel, the film arises from ideas by Michael D Weiss and Eli Roth. It hit home video in 2011, continuing the Hostel franchise's brutal style for a direct-to-video audience. Starring Kip Pardue and Brian Hallisay.

No traditional theatrical release, the title netted box office figures primarily from home media sales and streaming. Publicly reported grosses are minimal, reflecting its direct-to-video release strategy rather than a wide cinema rollout.

Within the Hostel franchise, Part III sits as a late chapter that fans watch closely but has limited influence beyond horror circles. Its notoriety stems from the series' ongoing reputation for graphic violence rather than pioneering ideas.

Critical responses to Hostel Part III were mixed, with praise often reserved for its brisk tempo and straightforward B grade thrills, while some reviewers criticized its tighter budget and formulaic setup. The film leans on a survivalist mood where loyalty is tested and strangers become suspects. It reinforces the franchise's blunt take on fear at close quarters, using Las Vegas glamour as a veneer for cruelty, and it keeps the horror focused on what people do when the odds are stacked against them.
