Poorly made

Rating: 2/10 (8 January 2006)

Right of the bat, this movie sucked, the plot is shaky, and then there is a ton of sex and partying soon followed by gallons of blood. The story just wasn't believable. Not to mention the acting was pretty poor because they couldn't get any real actor to play in such an off the wall movie. Finally the gore. Most of the effects weren't that real. So if I were you I would save my $8.25 and see something else. I think Eli Roth was trying way to hard with this one. He tries to be too much of an artist with his gore, but in the end it just is a little gross, not scary. For this movie to work, it would need better actors and some form of a plot line. Pulp Fiction and Resivior Dogs, both great films and both had a significant amount of known actors. Also because Tarantino used a unique style of filming and revealing the story, it sucked the viewer in. They still had gore, and they were directed by the producer of Hostel, thats the only reason it seemed promising. Hostel on the other hand was missing most of that. Like I said, poor plot and acting. Not to mention there isn't creativity in the way is was filmed. It just appears the the movie was running low on funds and Roth had to slap something together. Instead of screaming or being creeped out, my friend and I were laughing so hard pointing out all the flaws in this movie.
