Hostel: Part III

Travis [Chris Coy] slips into a Las Vegas hostel room and targets a Ukrainian couple, Victor [Nickola Shreli] and Anka [Evelina Turen], inviting them to drink beer. After they consume it, they fade from consciousness and are swept up by a cleanup crew. It’s soon revealed that Travis is a member of the Elite Hunting Club, a secret, members-only organization where wealthy clients observe brutal games unfold on live displays. The couple’s captivity and the club’s ominous reach set a dark, unsettling tone for what follows, hinting at a world where money and power determine who lives and who dies.

A man named Scott [Brian Hallisay] leaves his fiancée Amy [Kelly Thiebaud] to travel to Las Vegas for his own bachelor party, joined by his friend Carter [Kip Pardue]. The group also includes Mike Malloy [Skyler Stone] and Justin [John Hensley], and they soon find themselves drawn into a night that promises spectacle. At a nightclub, they encounter two escorts, Kendra [Sarah Habel] and Nikki [Zulay Henao], who offer them a way to push the night into something wilder. The four men accept a ride to an isolated venue, an abandoned building, where Scott hesitates when Kendra makes a move on him. He reveals his past infidelity with Amy nearly tore them apart, and he insists he’s not looking for trouble tonight, setting up a tension between desire, guilt, and loyalty.

Back in a different chamber of the same dark enterprise, Mike wakes in a cell near Victor and starts to panic. Two guards escort him to a glass-walled torture chamber where a live audience watches him be strapped into a chair. A middle-aged client dressed as a doctor enters, and Mike pleads, but the man brutalizes him, peeling away the layers of his identity and finishing him off in a cruel display of power. The search for Nikki continues as Scott, Carter, and Justin head to Nikki’s trailer, only to learn from Kendra that Nikki is missing. The thread tightens as Nikki herself appears later at the Las Vegas Art Show, brought into a room in the same building as Mike and strapped to a table dressed as a cheerleader. A Hungarian-speaking man enters and unleashes a jar filled with cockroaches, some crawling into Nikki’s mouth and suffocating her in a gruesome death.

A text from Mike’s phone, sent by Travis, lures Scott, Carter, Justin, and Kendra to a hotel room where they are kidnapped and awaken in individual cells alongside Victor. The guards separate Justin, and Carter reveals his Elite Hunting Club tattoo, signaling that this is part of a selective, pay-to-watch ordeal. The brutality escalates as Justin is strapped into a chair and shot with bolts by a masked assailant—an ominous precursor to the main event. Scott, now wearing a tux, is strapped into a chair as Flemming orders the show to begin. Carter admits his motive: he wanted Amy for himself after learning of Scott’s past infidelity, and he relishes Mike’s death as a reminder of what he believes Scott deserves.

Flemming has Scott released briefly before a final confrontation, and the two men clash. Scott ends up stabbing Carter and even discards Carter’s tattoo to bypass the scanners, using the symbol to escape. Victor fights back, killing one guard, but is himself killed by another. Scott manages to contact the police and frees Kendra, only for her to be shot dead by Travis. With authorities alerted, Flemming orders the Las Vegas Art Show evacuated and all prisoners killed. Scott and Travis continue to fight, and Scott ultimately defeats Travis. Flemming tries to escape in a vehicle, but Carter shoots him and steals Flemming’s car, locking the front gate behind Scott as the building explodes with the escape attempt in progress. The immediate danger has passed in one sense, but the fallout leaves Amy and Scott’s future hanging in the balance.

Sometime later, Carter attempts to comfort Amy at her home, believing the danger has passed. In a haunting twist, Amy reveals that Scott is alive, and she helps him confront Carter. A burned Scott drags Carter into the garage and, in a final, brutal act, straps him to a chair and kills him with a lightweight gas-powered tiller, bringing the cycle of vengeance to a bleak close. The film leaves behind a sense of damaged loyalties and a Las Vegas landscape where wealth and spectacle can mask deadly consequences, even as the survivor must come to terms with what remains of trust, love, and revenge.
