Listen to Karnae's 'Evil Is Necessity' EP and discover the emerging sounds of Italian metalcore.

Hostel: Part III attempts to connect with its predecessors by continuing the gore and torture themes but fails to innovate or add depth.

Fans of the genre may be disappointed by this third installment's lack of fresh scares or compelling thrills. Read this review to decide if Hostel: Part III is worth watching or just another disappointing horror sequel.
