The Third Saturday in October Part V

If youre the one controlling the playspeed at the theater. Somewhere between 1.25-1.5 ffwd youll get a real crimson southern redneck horror comedy to chew on...

its a low budget film about a reoccuring beast that returns every 3rd saturday of october, turning heaven into hell for all them screamers out there. The story and plot is unlike the others the very same, youre doomed to blood and gore anyway and how...

its time era is the early 1990's, the art and dressing department along with the makeup and stage units have done a decent job and reflects very well life 30 years ago.

They even hit the bells of the comedy central too, had a good laugh herenthere. But its not a state of the art a-level horror, rather b or c level when pickinbg the individual parts out of it. But alltogether at high speed it works therefore a small recommend from the grumpy old man.

It's definitely better than the original and that's saying much. Wait, is "saying much" a thing? Well, if it is, that is what I am saying.

For a sequel it plays up the humor and less of the homage of the first one. And speaking of that, those films are listed in reverse order here with The Third Saturday in October Part V (2022) being the original and The Third Saturday in October (2022) being the sequel.

But I think for continuity and thematic purposes, The Third Saturday in October (2022) is the first movie. And The Third Saturday in the October Part V (2022) is the only extant sequel. The Third Saturday in October Part II, The Third Saturday in October Part III and The Third Saturday in October Part IV are all explained as being lost. So perhaps, when those recreations are found and released they can be ranked in comparison to the two films in the series that are viewable in regard to their intentionally questionable qualities.

I did find the bed foot guy the best part of this movie. That was fun.

The dude who directs these flicks has a lot of potential. He sets up the scenes real well and the edits work to keep the suspense.

Unfortunately, this sequel is plagued by the same problem as the first. The dude who plays the killer can't act. He's horrible.

In this film he walks around with a skull like plastic mask mugging inside it like an imbecile. It really brings the movie down bug time.

Too bad because this actually could have been a classic with better actors (especially the killer) and a wee bit more story.

Instead we get a thinly drawn storyline of some maniac killing people with a 2 inch pocket knife! WHAT?

Sad.

For Third Saturday in October part V

"Don't know that I've ever experienced a better homage to classic 80's slashers than when I watched Third Saturday part V. I was instantly transported back to the video store days of my youth. Bowling and Cunningham's on screen chemistry carries the movie full steam ahead, supported aptly by the Hilarious Bart Hyatt, Taylor Smith, and Robert Hill. Burleson's insistence on starting the franchise with Part V isn't marketing...it's pure genius"

For Third Saturday in October-

For a movie with a micro budget like this one, I was totally unprepared for my great experience..check out my review ...

Contrast the reviews for this film against the "first" film, and you'll raise your eyebrows. Just saying.

The poster for the film is great. That is the only positive contribution I have to make. There's no homage here. There's no tribute to slasher flicks...its one nonsensical kill after another.

The mask is not interesting in the least. All of the mystery about the killer is nullified in the first 20 minutes. None of the characters are likeable.

I have no idea how the filmmakers got any funding for this enormous waste of time. If you're on the fence about watching The Third Saturday in October, hopefully this review helped you make a decision.
