What was Quentin thinking?????

Rating: 1/10 (15 January 2006)

I have never written a review before on IMDb, so if this sounds stupid you will have to forgive me, I'm writing out of anger. I have just returned from seeing Hostel, and I can't stress enough. Do not waste your money on this film!!! I was so excited to see this! First of all I'm a huge fan of the horror genre, second I think that Tarentino is amazing. So, after reading a lot about this film online I couldn't wait to see it, even though it was directed by Eli Roth. Well all I can say is Cabin Fever II. It was that bad.
Now, because I'm such a fan of horror movies I've sat through a lot of bad acting and cheesy plots. However, as far as I'm concerned that's what horror is all about. I personally think that you only have to follow one basic rule with horror. Either make people love your characters so much that you want them to make it, or make them so annoying that you can't wait to see them die. The rest is free game. If you have that I can sit through the worst acting in the world. I was so bored with this film I didn't care either way who lived or died.
This film basically once again proved to me that American horror is dead. I would say that horror films in general are dead if it wasn't for amazing films like High Tension and the too many to name Asian horror films out there.
Again don't waste your money.
