Brian Yuzna and Jeffrey Combs return to the series after a 14 year break. It looks like they are the only ones to do so. This is the only writing film credits for Xavier Berraondo and Jose Manuel Gomez. Miguel Tejada-Flores however wrote Revenge of the Nerds series and even The Lion King! Anyways let's see if this final installment was worth it or not.
Well that was interesting. It's extremely silly. I thought the setting worked really well for the story. It's definitely the worst of the series though. It isn't the worst thing I've seen, but it's still not good either. There are a lot of awkward moments that just feel out of place. The opening scene was very weird albeit kind of amusing. They made the relationship between the siblings look weird after you realize that's what they were. I'm not sure if it was intentional, but I'd say it's a bit uncomfortable. Another thing that bothered me was a lot of stuff that happens with the warden. I won't go in to detail though. I have to say the chaos and gore was one of the best parts of the whole thing. The ending was actually pretty darn good. I always get into those types of endings. Without those things I would have hated this. There is a really strange scene during the credits which I didn't feel comfortable with lol.
Pretty much everyone here sucked besides Jeffrey Combs. I'm not sure if it's because this takes place in Italy and everyone is dubbed or they are just not very good. I absolutely despised the character of the Warden. There is nothing likable about him and whenever he showed up I felt uncomfortable. The main guard was ridiculously stupid for no real reason. The rat guy was intriguing. He almost felt like he could have been played by Tom Savini with how similar they look. The drug addict was just an awkward character played way over the top. The replacement of Dan Cain was lame. I couldn't find any interest in his character. Elsa Pataky is gorgeous, but she was also not very good here at least until close to the end. There are other characters that ranged from interesting to just okay. If the acting had been better this would have been more likable.
It's a bit over the top. Yes more so than the previous installments. That probably has to do with it being made in Italy and having cheesy Italian actors. It felt something like a Giallo film due to this, but not the best. It's pretty humorous though. It has the kind of gross I like and the kind that I really can't get into. Some of the things in the story felt uncomfortable at least for me anyways. Besides Jeffrey Combs pretty much all the actors were pretty bad. I do think that the characters were interesting enough. They just needed to have a better cast. The ending and the chaos that ensues are really what makes this film bearable. If they had done that differently I think I wouldn't have really kept attention on it.
