Hotel Inferno 3: The Castle of Screams

This one is just flat out ,gore, blood and then more blood and gore. One hell of a ride, with amazing work done by Animatronics team, and whatever department needed for this kind of a movie. Loved the camera work which is Ofcourse POV all the time, as is with mostly this franchise.

Just watch it and appreciate the hard work put in, I wonder how they manage all this with the limited budget they have/had.

Kudos and keep making for us gore hounds.

Very bad effects, bad monologues, cheap gore. Dumb.

I watched the.2013 "Hotel Inferno" movie and wasn't overly impressed with it. But I was presented with the opportunity to sit down and watch the third movie here in 2021, so I sat down to watch it, even though I hadn't seen part II.

And while the 2013 "Hotel Inferno" movie was mediocre and watchable, I must say that they definitely stepped up their game with this 2021 third movie titled "Hotel Inferno 3: The Castle of Screams". It was in a whole different league, and this third movie was way more enjoyable and entertaining.

The storyline told in "Hotel Inferno 3: The Castle of Screams", as written by Giulio De Santi and Tiziana Machella, was pretty far out there, for sure. But it was definitely this absurdness of the storyline and how far out there that it actually was, that made the movie very enjoyable. That, and also the fact that directors Giulio De Santi and Tiziana Machella fully managed to capture the essence of filming the movie in first person point of view. I have to admit that it felt like it was taken right out from a game such as "Duke Nuke'm", "Blood", "Doom" or "Quake". They had managed to capture that very feel in the movie, with the way that the movie was shot and the well-written and hilarious dialogue.

And of course the gore and mayhem. That was just amazing, and definitely in a league of its own. I have to admit that I was loving the carnage and the excessive amounts of blood in the movie. Sure, the special effects might be a bit crude or simplistic, but it worked. It most certainly added to the overall feel of the movie and, most importantly, to the atmosphere of the movie. I will actually go as far as to saying that the movie is well worth watching for the sake of the blood, gore and semi-low budget special effects. However, I will also say that I think the special effects in the movie is something that could part the audience; either you overly enjoy it or you just downright loathe it because of its crudeness.

I found "Hotel Inferno 3: The Castle of Screams" to be a very enjoyable rollercoaster of a movie, and I loved the atmosphere in the movie and the fact that the directors managed to make it feel like a first person shooter in every aspect.

While you never actually see Rayner Bourton in the movie, as he is portraying Frank Zimosa, then he was still greatly cast for the movie, especially with that iconic voice of his.

"Hotel Inferno 3: The Castle of Screams" definitely has the potential to become a cult classic within the gore subgenre of horror movies. If nothing else, then it could definitely make for an excellent 'guilty pleasure' movie.

Watch it, that is essentially all that is needed to be said. Just watch it.

My rating of "Hotel Inferno 3: The Castle of Screams" lands on a well-deserved seven out of ten stars.

Having survived his trip through the Fire Realm, the assassin finds his search for regeneration impeded by a witch who informs him that a key to complete the process which requires them to travel through the Ice Realm of Hell encountering swarms of demonic creatures to accomplish their task.

This was another fairly enjoyable and worthwhile follow-up in the franchise. Much like the others, there's a lot to like with the fact that this one is shot in a point-of-view manner which continues to make great use of the format in its visual storytelling. Utterly forced in principle to be up-close and personal to the proceedings as the filmmaking tactics demand the actor be a central figure to what's happening around him, this results in a chilling setup to play out. As the confrontations and various situations presented here offer a near video-game experience with how they focus on interacting with new threats and creatures, it develops an immediacy to the action that becomes quite immersive as time goes on. Moreover, the numerous jump-scares are even more effective as the darkness and insanity offer up a fun time here. Once again, that all provides the film with the main reason for being here which is a non-stop display of close-up carnage and bloodshed for a continuous experience. The mix of practical gore effects and CGI is mixed incredibly well here, with the use of wounds and human-sized creatures offering up stellar practical effects with heads sliced open, limbs hacked off, innumerable stabbings, and other overtly brutal features. The CGI for the more sizable creations that aren't human-sized allows this to go into a fun direction with the ability to offer massive monstrosities that are blasted apart in a geyser of blood-spray that's fun to watch as well as the creativeness of their appearance, truly making this a fun romp with all kinds of enjoyable bloodshed that's become a hallmark of the franchise thus far. There are some big issues with this one which are exactly the same flaws in the earlier entries. This main issue is the over-the-top nature of the shooting or stabbing style wearing thin quite easily, much quicker even than it did in the first one. The jumpiness of the transitions here imitates a video game on autopilot where it focuses on intense action for a brief moment only to have someone off-screen explain what's going on or make vague threats about what's to come. The need to constantly have the plot explained in a narration-like style from the one other member he meets who agrees to help him gets old and tiring quickly just as well, especially with the unhelpful nature of the instructions. Given the fact that it's all the way through the film, this can be a little much and brings it down somewhat.

Rated Unrated/R: Extreme Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

While the first installment feels ... different (I think that was the best, but it was an entirely different genre so to say, so the comparison is not entirely fair), I like these films never feel the same, and the concept is under constant development.

I'm excited to know where the studio is going with this.
