Why did Quentin Tarantino put his name on this ???

Rating: 3/10 (12 January 2006)

OK, Quentin's movies were always violent, but they had a story to go with it. Hostel is nothing but a cheap excuse for a gore movie. Nothing like Quentin's movies. Very disappointing. I had higher expectation coming from an association between Eli Roth and Quentin Tarantino, especially after Cabin Fever that showed Eli's talent at horror movies. The prelude is way too long and there is no story at all. The characters fall in every cliché possible and are just plain dumb. It wasn't even entertaining. SAW and SAW II was entertaining, that was just boring and gross. We can clearly see the Asian influence on this film but it lacks the depth that you can normally see in those kind of movies. I've seen a lot of movies and a lot of horror and gore movies but sadly, I don't recommend this one. Spend your time and money to see something else, you won't be disappointed.
