Critics
"H3 - Halloween Horror Hostel is a cheap TV parody on Halloween, Saw, Friday the 13th, Hostel etc. - also a quick reference to The Ring was made along the way. I said 'cheap' meaning both 'low budget' as well as 'no serious effort made'. A few good jokes and a lot of lame ones, but at the length of just 70 minutes still easy to sit through. [...] So, very little new to see, just a quick rehash of familiar blueprints to fill an hour and a half (including advertising breaks) in the late night program.
