Take the kids to this one!

Rating: 7/10 (8 January 2006)

I don't think some people realized this a dark dark comedy in a lot of ways. I saw Hostel tonight and really enjoyed it. I love seeing people getting up and exiting the movie theatre after systematically throwing down 8.75 to see it. Eli Roth is a very interesting director let me tell ya. Cabin Fever was hated by a lot of people, because of the humor put in place of scenes that should have been exciting and terrifying. While this turns a lot of people off to his style, it gravitates me towards it, and that's what he did with Hostel. The humor is a little more straight forward, and is brilliantly done. If you can't notice the sheer comedy of this flick, then don't bother to review it because you are to stupid for me to care how you criticize it. Roth intently mixes dark humor and vicious, spine tingling torture in a nice hostel soup. Though not really a horror movie like advertised, it is a on the edge thriller without a doubt. Also, make no mistake that this movie is incredibly brutal and shocking. My advice is bring little Billy to this movie and let him get used to this kind of Hollywood because by the time hes 18, he wont even cringe at this sort of thing....just like I didn't. I loved the torture and it kept me glued to the screen to the last horrifying scene. This movie is one guilty pleasure any gore lover shouldn't miss. If you are a fan of dark comedies you might wanna check this one out to if you aren't squeamish. 7/10 baby
