AMAZING CONECEPT, POOR EXECUTION!

Rating: 3/10 (1 July 2018)

The concept for Hostel is amazing, the fact that it reminds me of human trafficking, which really does happen in real life is interesting. The film is awful though in itself and Eli Roth didn't know how to write or shoot the movie. It's way to gritty and gruesome. Swearing is throughout the whole film, it only hinders the movie and does it no favors whatsoever. Eli Roth probably didn't pay much attention in film school. Someone needs to teach him how to make a great horror movie that's scary and creepy, not a crock of crap. The acting is as bad as anything else. Jay Hernandez should've never auditioned for this film. Everyone in the cast must be desperate for work, this movie has mainly no storyline. Just torture and the killers cutting off their victims' body parts. The special effects maybe cool to watch on the behind the scenes feature DVD, but in the film it's way to graphic and explicit. Shock value, should not be the main source for trying to create scares. It only disguises the viewer and make them want to throw up. This is awful and I'm shocked that the studios and production companies decided to go through with making this pile of junk.
For an overall rating, I give Hostel
2 and 1/2 stars.
