Simply sick...

Rating: 1/10 (22 January 2006)

Okay, we watched it last night, and my tummy was pretty much upset for the rest of the night. Since some people already explained the plot, Ill just give you my reaction: I can handle horror, "normal" horror (what most might call kiddie horror like the Texas chainsaw massacre or things like that), but this went into absolute sick horror. I thought I was prepared...but I wasn't. First and last time I've seen it, and honestly, I just cant believe these positive reviews!! I've seen Cabin Fever, and I liked that movie, was kind of funny, but Hostel was straight out Sickening.
I actually wanted to get out of the theater, but didn't because my husband and brother in law wanted to finish it (not that they liked it or anything...). The whole plot is just simply stupid. They did a good job making Europe look pretty bad. Prostitutes, messed up looking back streets etc, but come on, you can find that about anywhere in the world no matter what country you go to.
I read the movie was graphic sexually as well as bloody, but to be honest - I only thought the bloody portion of it was true (oh gee was it true and not a bit exaggerated!). Being from Europe originally, you can see sexual scenes like that in about most of the 8pm prime time movies by now. America is just not used to that, simply because many, many of these scenes are cut for American television - I've seen if for a few years here now.
I can only suggest to everyone to use their money for more useful stuff.
