A Tale of Two Movies

Rating: 1/10 (14 November 2006)

Sadly, Eli Roth thinks he knows how to make horror movies...but with Hostel, it's obvious he don't know JACK. If you haven't yet rented this awful "movie",take this time-saving advice to heart:FF it to the 43rd minute and begin watching it from that point.Why, you ask?? Because there is NOTHING that happens before the 43rd minute! Horror fans will enjoy the 2nd half of the film, which is filled with some decent gross-out moments and revenge scenes for our hero. Too bad that by this time in the film, the audience feels no emotional attachment to the hero character whatsoever. Unfortunately, Eli Roth is making a sequel to this movie. Fortunately for ME, having seen this total mess of a film,I know better than to spend my $10 on ANY Eli Roth movie ever again. Eli Roth has the dubious honor of having TWO MOVIES in my top ten WORST horror movies of all time (the other: Cabin Fever). Bravo, Eli...you're one "special" filmmaker.
