My kids have been tracking this movie for weeks and I had promised to bring them all (3 daughters all under 12.)
Yes, this is the same story told again (Homeward Bound and it's various sequels), however it's a little different. The animals are animals, and they don't talk, however the main dog (Bella) does tell the story from her point of view.
There are some areas where they replaced animals with CGI and some of it looks really good, but really fake, but 1- my kids didn't notice all that much, and 2- it's a movie... Let's just turn off our minds for about 2 hours and just watch a wholesome family movie.
There were a number of crying kids, and even some of the adults walked out with some tears, so be prepared.
Overall it's a really cute, adventurous, and fun movie! Perfect no, but it's still great!

I just happened to remember that this existed and was like, I have nothing better to do for a few hours, so I'll catch this.
I generally find the good in really bad movies... Until now.
I have no idea what is going on in this movie. Though this is broken up episodically (like the previous Creepshows), it seems like this is one massive nightmare that I can't wake up from and won't end.
The actors are the same from sequence to sequence... Seems like they got paid by the day and tried to film everything in just a few days.
Trust me... Pass this one by.

I'm not going to rehash what everyone said here, however I'm a very seasoned horror movie fanatic and I found myself immersed in Hostel III for a bit.
More on that in a second...
I'm a big fan of the first two and was really looking forward to this one. When I learned that it was straight-to-DVD, I lowered my expectations quite a bit. In fact, I probably lowered them too much since I feel that Hostel III beat my expectations in some areas.
Granted a bunch of things that we have accepted as gospel in the Hostel world are now completely different and turned on their side. Gone are the killers which had personality; these killers are emotionless robots. They don't talk and some of them even wear masks. Plus, the kills are boring and uneventful.
Probably the only thing that I can appreciate about the movie was the number of twists and turns. We've come to accept a number of cliché's such as when a killer is chasing you, you fall, etc. I don't believe I saw any in this movie... There were several times that I expected "A" to happen and "B" happened. This kept me a little on my toes and kept my interest.
As noted, most of the CGI effects were really bad. (The simulated fire was the worst that I had ever seen...) The ending is predictable, however I'm not going to spoil it.
Overall, it was a good watch and a good $15.00 purchase. (Just 3 dollars more than a theater ticket.) Will I watch it again, perhaps, but likely not again after that...
