Why on earth would anyone want to see this film? What could possibly come from watching it? What could I or anyone else possibly gain from watching a film about flat-out mindless torture and death? Is this how far we've come as a race? I've no problem with the violence, or the torture for that matter, but how can those things by themselves make something worth watching? I'd like to ask whoever created this filth what they wish to offer me if I'd sit and watch their film. It can't be much. This is not a work of art.
If anything, this film just proves that we've degraded as a culture to the point that we no longer wish to think for ourselves, but instead be spoon-fed our entertainment. Many things that I don't like, I can understand, but not this. What's the point of Hostel?
