Horror in 2006 started with a bang...and some blood.

Rating: 8/10 (8 January 2006)

I wasn't expecting much when I saw previews for Hostel, it looked like Saw 3 to me...but I was wrong. It had a story...the whole college frat boy like guys traveling across Europe...the previews should of showed that, I think they would of got more viewers...I mean the first half of the film is very much like Eurotrip...but with more laughs and better characters. Then about 40 minutes into it your blown away and it never lets go. I actually cared about the guys which made it better then just watching some people get tortured. Some people say you have to be sick to like this or very morbid. It's like the original TCM to me in that way. Some things in it are pretty nasty and it does have a lot of gore...however, people are closing their eyes or letting their imaginations go wild. A lot is not seen, people say the original TCM is the goriest horror movie of all time...when in fact there is hardly any blood...but sometimes watching someone scream and knowing something bad is happening to them is much worse than actually seeing the knife,hammer, or hatchet tear their ass up. So in conclusion...if your a horror junkie like me. You will love it! If you get scared easily or you like Saw...you will love it! If you want to see a movie that your friends will be talking about some of the famous parts -eye scene -and you don't want to feel left out....you will love this movie! If your looking for something to take mom and dad to or watching a balls to the wall horror movie with someone just cause you want to get out ....you will hate this movie! and prob get sick!....So from a "very morbid" horror fan,I guess they would say.....Hostel has a spot in my top 25 horror films of all time..number 23....
