time to grow up.....

Rating: 3/10 (25 March 2006)

okay ...enough is enough. feel let down by this pretentious and hollow film. Eli, i had so much hope as well. Even think Cabin Fever at least stayed true to its roots. I know people will love this film {gorehounds and/or teenagers} but come on... the film is truly sensationalist and very shallow. See Neil Marshalls attempts at horror. I'm sick of Americanised so-called horror movies. no originality, just rip-offs of {usually eastern} horror done before. Have you seen Suicide Circle then Eli ? Whats with the thriller ending as well, the American dodging/chasing around Slovakia... Jesus man. And the first half seemed to mock the American attitudes towards Europeans. Do you believe in your characters Eli? The portrayals of Amsterdam and, more so, Bratislava was disgustingly inaccurate - was this the point. Then if so, why such a conflicting ending. Come on people, lets wake up... there's better horror out there {Switchblade romance/calviere for the serious or dog soldiers/brain dead for the tongue in cheek etc etc}... Hostel is simply not good enough ... and i really did expect great things {10 seconds and 1 sentence from Miike as well}. At least the kids in the row ahead of me liked the separate gore scenes.... PS. Whats with the 'is slovakia a real country?'.... 'Its part of a country called Czechslovakia {correct spelling}'.... are people this stupid ? .... please let me know. Lee {UK}
