One of the worst films I've ever seen

Rating: 2/10 (1 November 2006)

I went into "Hostel" thinking it would be similar to "Saw", but I was severely disappointed. This movie makes Saw look like the greatest film ever made. The characters had no personality and I honestly felt nothing for them. The plot was so simple it barely existed, and it contained a lot of questionable turns (going back for the Japanese girl? WHY??). Eli Roth is clearly out of his element when it comes to crafting an interesting story line and characters. All he is good at is coming up with scenes of senseless and unnecessary gore (cutting the eye? A point to that?).
I love all of Quentin Tarantino's movies, which is another reason I was so surprised at this. I can't figure out why such a brilliant filmmaker would attach his name to this piece of garbage.
That's what this movie is: really disgusting garbage. In fact, staring at a pile of garbage would probably be more entertaining/interesting.
The 2 stars I gave are generous. Extremely generous.
