Disapponiting

Rating: 1/10 (7 January 2006)

I went to see this last night at a sold out show, followed by another two sold out shows, with lines of people waiting to see what they thought was going to be an amazing film. As I was walking by them I was just thinking to myself, poor people, your going to be just as disappointed as me.
First off the movie was violent, but not EXTREMELY violent like you have heard. That is probably because so much of the intense stuff was cut out to avoid NC-17. It starts slow, but with plenty of sex and drugs, just like any other horror movie. Once they get to the torture scenes, which is why most people went to this movie, you don't really see to much. These scenes are short, and disappointing. I didn't even think something like "oh no, no, don't do it..." like i did in everyones favorite scene of Reservoir Dogs.
Speaking of Reservoir Dogs, what was QT thinking. To put his name on this was a mistake. He's gonna have to pull something off really good to redeem himself. And, despite most peoples thoughts, HE DID NOT WRITE OR DIRECT IT! ITS NOT A QT FILM.
All in all it had sex, drugs, and violence. YAY! Well not really, it was all jammed together and kept you in the back of your seat. Watch some Japanese horror films if you want the punch Hostel was meant to pack.
