Keepsake (III) (2010)
5/10
Great idea, bad execution.
1 March 2012
The movie had a lot of promise, but didn't quite deliver. I knew what the makers of this film are trying to do, but it seems like they weren't so sure on how to execute it in a way that would last for the entire length of the movie.

There were a lot of loopholes in the whole story, especially in the beginning when the girl meets the antagonist. The other victims felt like fillers, as if they didn't know what else to do. Some scenes, I felt, were unnecessary.

The actors are not going to get any awards any time soon because of this movie, but they're tolerable. The effects, sound and cinematography are surprisingly good for something that looks low-budget. The idea of the story is actually laden with a lot of potential, and I did like the twist in the end, but the coherence of it's entirety is another thing. I truly wish they have modified it more, because it would have made one helluva horror flick.

This contains a fair amount of blood and some gore. There are a few torture scenes that can be considered mild compared to movies like Hostel. Personally, I'm not a fan of torture movies, but this one was tolerable.

All in all, it's an okay movie to watch if there's nothing else. But I doubt it will be remembered five minutes after the end credits.
