2009 Horror Fest: Feast 3, The Happy Finish: 55 Out Of 100 Stars

Gave this a slightly above average rating because if you've seen the first 2 then you pretty much have to see this one. And while it does contain some of the funness of the second one, it's just too drawn out and uneventful to get much more than a slightly above average rating.

The main problem is that we've seen all the swerves and high spots already, so when they happen here they illicit more of a giggle than a "whoa" reaction.

As the story picks up, we've got all the remaining characters from part 2 continuing to try and find an escape. A couple of characters get introduced but they don't add much weight to the overall product.

The kills are still good, the half naked babes with excellent tits are still good and there are some laughs to be had, but none of that really elevates the overall film very much when most of it is dimly lit and just chase, chase, chase. The ending is also fairly weird.

So, in the end what we have is a movie that takes most of the slow parts from part 2 and drags them out over another entire movie, resulting in a not so great conclusion to the trilogy, but still, the film is just as original as the first two, and in this day and age that's saying something.

The filmmakers had a tremendous concept, and very good execution, just not 3 films worth.
