Amateur Porn Star Killer 3:
|
Synopsis
Brandon is back, and he has one last order of business as the Amateur Porn Star Killer trilogy winds towards its shocking conclusion. Offered a ride by a handsome and kindly stranger, an aspiring actress (real life porn star Regan Reese) hops into the passenger seat of his car with no clue as to the horrors that await her. As darkness falls and the car pulls into an empty field at the edge of a small town, it doesn't take Brandon long to reveal his murderous true intentions. With nowhere to run and a madman on her heels, the desperate girl is quickly caught up in a bloody game of cat and mouse.

Reviews
"This is for horror/exploitation fans who understand the artistic aspects of the genres. This is, after all, an artistic snuff film. It is transgressive and terribly realistic - just like the other two movies...Ryan may be moving onto other things, but these films impact has just begun to be felt." -Film Threat
"The horror in this film comes from the fact that it is so realistic...a powerful piece of exploitation cinema, and whether it pushes the envelope too far as far as sexual content, that’s for the viewer to decide." -Basement Screams
"In most horror movies, we can watch a blonde bimbo get stabbed repeatedly with a butcher knife and cheer the serial killer on; here, just watching the little lady break down into tears is infinitely more effective thanks to the realism of the entire situation...it all feels very real, almost as if you were in the back seat watching this man toy with his latest victim before finishing her off....9/10" -The Movies Made Me Do It
"Shane Ryan is a brilliant filmmaker." -Polly Staffle
"it is scary enough in it's realism...this trilogy is not for everyone, in fact most people are going to find this way too offensive and disturbing but for that small group of people that like the genre and have the stomach to handle it then these are a treat for the senses. I would have to say this one is the best of the series and a great send off too and these have been some of the best exploitation films ever made." -Video Views
"Amateur Porn Star Killer 3 is about as good as you can get...it’s definitely the best Shaky-Cam Horror flick since The Blair Witch Project." -The Video Vacuum
"Director Shane Ryan has done it again: He has made the third film based on the same feeble premise, and has made a third disturbing, self-consciously sleazy masterpiece of suspense out of it...the buildup to the inevitable finale is pure tension from beginning to end" -(re)searchmytrash
