Hostel = nothing

Rating: 1/10 (8 January 2006)

I first became interested in Hostel when I saw a preview before Saw II on the first night. Hostel seemed to be the type of movie that would beat out all other horrors with it's disgusting tactics and clever screenplay, however, after actually seeing the movie, my opinion was rendered worthless. Hostel does not create any sympathy for the three main characters that get involved in the torture ring. Therefore, the aspect of actually caring what happens to them is lost. When walking out, I realized that Hostel was in fact, the worst movie I've ever seen. The best part may the the "gangster-like" children attempting to obtain bubblegum, but other than that, this movie falls far short of horror or the shock factor that was so prevalent in both Saw movies. I expected much more from QT, and if I were him I would be ashamed to have my name listed at the beginning of this empty joke of a movie.
