It is 1815 and 2 lost girls are trying to find some shelter and some help after their parent's boat had capsized. The girls come across an Indian hunter who leads them to a Fort. However once they get in, getting out is gonna be a lot harder. Seems the woods are filled with werewolves and a lady named, Ginger, is almost destined to be bit by one.
Overall: I really wanted to enjoy and love this movie but frankly I can't figure out what the point was in making this film. It really comes off as a film about 2 girls somehow sent through time and they have to survive in order to get back to their own century. How else do you wanna explain why everyone in the film uses 19th century language, except the 2 girls? 'We're f**ked!'???? So when the film never did give me any time machines or wormholes, it really just started to get embarrassing. Basically I think this film can stand alone and be a nice film and even be a nice prequel and had it come out before the other 2, it would be a nice series but frankly, being a part 3 you just sit there watching the movie going 'and why did u make this?' The girls have the same names, same relationships, have the exact same problems as part 1 and always pledge to be together. So how do they magically show up in the original film, set 180 years later having the exact same experiences? The film purports to show that these girls are 'Descendants' of the ladies from the first film, but come one, you watched this movie. Does that seem obvious to you in the way they portray these characters? In fact the dialogue is the exact reason the 'descendant' excuse lacks credibility. And the first film made such a big deal of how the 2 girls were born to their parents therefore no question these girls aren't immortals. Frankly the film is so in conflict with the first film, it really is a shame they couldn't get anyone to fix these continuity problems and that's exactly what these studios need before putting crap out on DVD/video. Really, as you look back on this film, it's an absolute mess in the grand scheme of the trilogy and really should not have been made until the problems were worked out.
The film added nothing new and explained nothing in the grand scheme of the trilogy. This really did a disservice to the series and frankly, I'd be embarrassed if I was the director. How do you allow the ladies lines to reflect 21st century jargon in a 19th century time period? I have expected Brigette to pull out a walkman and start listening to music. The film really is a mess in terms of the whole trilogy and frankly, it should have been re-shot by more competent professionals.

Horrible sequel to a bad film. Bateman has shown his lack of acting ability on that show he had in the 80's but this film is definitely brutal. Perhaps the only redeeming social value is the fact that even the ECW has better wrestling than this film.
Detective Robert Bryant is out for revenge and he knows exactly what will get the job done. He needs to avenge his pal's death at the hands of a notorious mobster, Riley. So he brings in an Italian hitwoman but the moment he does, he knows he can't afford her. Now he must decide whether to call off the assassination or in turn let her do the job, then whack her. But this woman knows her stuff and won't let anyone stand between her and her money. One by one the Detective's own hitmen suffer a terrible fate and she must know figure out who is trying to kill her. Oh yeah, and all this time she must learn English!
Overall: I recorded this film then didn't watch it for almost 2 years. It isn't really horror but the death scenes are fairly bloody. I figured because of it being so invisible,. that someone should let others know about it. the assassin is a very pretty and personable woman who knows no English. In fact it is her attempt to learn the language as she waits for Reily to return on the train which makes the film slightly enjoyable. The film I guess is more realistic at times that most assassin films, with out hitlady missing quite often, although she always makes it out without a scratch. Oh yeah, the other theme rolling along is the anecdote about Burmese men who used to make their wives walk 10 feet behind them - showed who is subservient to whom. After W.W.II and land mines all over, the men made them walk in front. You figure you it out.
