Boring!!!

Rating: 3/10 (12 March 2006)

I had'nt seen a horror film at the movies for a few years and eagerly went with my wife to check out Hostel. Wow, what a let down I left the cinema still not having seen a horror movie. Occasionally funny, sometimes gory but never suspenseful. The premise was fine, the acting OK, the movie well made, but it was just boring, very matter of fact, we knew what was going to happen to the victims just not how.
I have not seen Roth's other work however I have heard much about it, I won't be rushing to the video store to check it out after this effort. If you want something a little unsettling and fresh check out House of a 1000 corpses instead.
If I had seen this movie when I was 15 or 16 I probably would have loved it, boobs, bums and blood what more could I ask for? But I am no longer 15.
