For those who do not know Europe only

Rating: 4/10 (3 April 2006)

I've been waiting for this movie for quite a long time and kinda prepared myself for that - read all the reviews and IMDb comments and stuff. So that made me believe it's a great kick-ass horror film to be remembered in ages. Plus Tarantino plus Miike - seemed to me as a lot of work and fantasy in it. I know a thing or two about a thing or two if it goes to the movies (i'm a huge movie fan and i work in a cinema), but this one left me stone cold. Have you seen Road Trip? Hostel is absolutely the same, only scary. Just the same plot - youngsters are headed for Europe to get laid, they go to Amsterdam for drugs, then they go to Bratislava for girls. Only in Hostel they get killed. I am so disappointed, man! The thumb cutting scene and the Achilles' tendon cutting scene are from House of Wax. The foreigner in the train grabbing a guys leg is from Road Trip, it was too funny to forget. Europe is shown entirely wrong. Now those who can't even tell Slovenia from Slovakia think that poor children of Eastern Europe kill for bubble gum and that the whole Amsterdam is the Red light district. Eli Roth sure apologized in front of Iceland but how about the rest of the countries shown in the film? OK, I may go on forever. I am disappointed and angry at the makers with all due respect.
