Horrorfest III: The Butterfly Effect 3
This is the third installment in the Butterfly Effect series. And like its predecessors, it's about a person who can travel back in time via his mind or dreams. In this movie, Sam works for the Police Department solving murders using his unique gift. The police thinks he is psychic and gladly pays him for his services. He's taking care of his sister and things are going good for him until someone from his past, the sister of his dead girlfriend, returns to watch execution of the convicted killer that murdered his girlfriend. Armed with new evidence of the Convicted Killer's innocence, Sam decides to "jump" back to the past to see who actually killed his girlfriend. He was only supposed to just observe like he did on his past trips to the past, but someone spots him and it disturbs the past and wholly affects the future, and in turn setting off a chain of events that create a serial killer in the present and the future.
The idea is both different and the same from the previous time traveling movies. The ending is a twist and you truly do not see it coming nor do you see the twist of why the serial killer is created. Most of the actors are unknown but they do play their roles perfectly, even as the variations of their characters who were altered due to the changes in the past.
Effectively the lesson that the movie is trying to teach us is the dangers of time traveling and why we should be glad that we cannot do it. Because no matter how many times he went back to save someone he alters his future, which inevitably leads to a set back. Although it was a bit of pleasure to watch him try to travel further and further into the past to intervene and save the girls from the serial killer, his efforts would prove to be futile once he realizes who the serial killer is and that the killer could mentally time travel as well.
I recommend this movie because of the fresh ideas and consequences that it brings to the table about time traveling. It adds the right amount of gore. (The Serial Killer's weapon of choice is a buzz saw, folks!!!) The actor for the main character might be a douche in any other movie but has found his niche in this one. So if you're a fan of the first Butterfly Effect go check this one out!!!
Love Always,
