Eli Roth bombs again!

Rating: 1/10 (21 January 2006)

Two American guys (played by Jay Hernandez and Derek Richardson) are traveling through Europe. Their reason is to have sex with as many women as is possible. They are directed to this remote European village full of beautiful women...but their dream swiftly becomes a nightmare...
Director/writer Eli Roth gave us a lousy horror movie a few years ago called "Cabin Fever". I never wanted to see anything he did again but this has an interesting premise and I DO like Jay Hernandez. I should have known better! Like his first film we are given characters that we don't know anything at all about (Hernandez and Richardson have NOTHING to work with) and we really don't like. Seriously--we're supposed to give a damn about two horny American boys who only want to have nonstop sex? Richardson and Hernandez are as good as they could be--meaning not very.
The script is terrible. Like I said the premise isn't bad but the dialogue is lousy AND offensive (I didn't like Hernandez saying "That's so gay" after anything went wrong) and the script doesn't make a lot of sense. The direction is off too--some shots were framed so badly I couldn't believe it! The gore is effective and extreme--but I didn't know or care who it was being done to. I also love how two characters have body parts chopped off, but are walking around OK right after--they should be dead of blood loss or in shock.
Also there is TONS of pointless female nudity. It got to a point where I was just getting angry. I went to see a HORROR film not a soft core porno flick! I also noticed Richardson and Hernandez were never shown nude.
Even worse than "Cabin Fever". Boring and pointless. As I was leaving one woman behind me said, "That was the worst movie I ever saw." I agree. I give it a 1.
