Review of Sweet Home 3: Impressive Visual Effects, Lack of Sharpness in Plot
Sweet Home 3 makes a strong impression with explosive visual effects and sharp scenes. The monster scenes are shown with faster and smoother movements than ever, bringing realistic horror. The lighting and shadow effects also make the fighting and escape scenes more haunting, creating a tense and suspenseful atmosphere.
However, despite the highly appreciated visuals and acting, Sweet Home 3 has received many criticisms about the plot. The film’s script is considered too complicated with many details that dilute the film’s flow, reducing the dramatic elements and intensity in the war between humans and monsters. The humanistic meaning that stood out in part 1 seems to be forgotten. The ending of part 3 cannot satisfy the audience, with the character lines not being deeply exploited and an incomplete ending, making viewers regretful. In addition, the film contains many brutal bloody scenes, creating a feeling of suffocation for viewers.
Overall, Sweet Home 3 does not completely meet the expectations of fans, but is still an entertaining choice worth watching if you love the horror genre. To discover more interesting movies, continue to follow the reviews at Sforum.
