What a load of old rubbish.
After all the media hype, that I never fell for, for a minute, did you? No, I did not go to this showing to see just gore, as Hostel sold itself on, but to see a new and refreshing movie of interest at least.
This completely unoriginal and extremely predictable bore fest has been seen too many times before, i.e. the oozing eye from the Japanese girl, this being the money shot no doubt, such as in The Evil Dead. Come on, could there not be any other way for this movie to develop, to evolve? Yeah, kids on the journey of their lifetime, fair enough, but it approached a brick wall and never turned into anything but a pointless sorry excuse of celluloid.
Who, or what even, is this movie aimed at? What was the story again? (It's a rhetorical question), do me a favour and come back with something with an idea and content that is worthy of my time and money. At least we know there won't, I hope, be a squeal, as all the lose ends were so very conveniently tied up at the end, wow, now that was easy wasn't it? I'm impressed.
Even to the point of seeing a girl with only one eye, the other was on the floor you see, she seemed to take it very well, you know, in the car, getting away from the baddies, see was ever so quiet and calm. The question of how high was her pain threshold was for her to be able to walk around with half her face ripped open and not be screaming her, excuse the pun, face off, and yes, you've guessed it, she helps the good guy in the end by. Amazing. It's not that hard to figure out.
Even in the torture scenes, we are, more than often, only guessing at what is being done to the poor victims. As these were out of shot, please don't say, " Well less is more and we had to image what was being done to them for better effect", I just thought that it was because this movie lacked, another pun, guts, guts to carry off what the media hype had us, except me, and yourself? To believe.
This Hostel was full; there was simply no more room at this Inn. Unfortunately, there were no more rooms to let to creativity, imagination, plot and originality.
I'm looking for another building (story) plot.
I'm checking out.
