Picking up exactly where part II leaves off, Marybeth (Harris) is still trying to make sure Victor Crowley (Hodder) won't return from the dead. She ends up in jail where a journalist (Williams) approaches her with what she claims is the real way to kill Crowley. All though still in custody, Marybeth, the reporter, the Sheriff (Galligan) and some of his men go back to Honey Island Swamp for a final showdown with Crowley. Adam Green turns the directing chores over to BJ McDonnell the man who shot the first two in this series. Green still wrote it and the jokes and silly spirit of the first two are more than present. There are some clever twists in the story and the cast is certainly game. The blood and gore are ridiculous as ever and McDonnell effectively nails a few jump scares. Still, while watching this, you can't help but think to yourself 'Ops maybe this went one movie too many'. Diehards will no doubt enjoy the more of the same attitude of this segment; others may feel like it has run its course.
