Not Only are those on the Big screen Tourtured... Viewers are Too

Rating: 3/10 (28 April 2006)

I am not a big horror film fan... I simply wanted to see this because the hype surrounding this movie claims that it is truly disturbing and disgusting. What I got was one of the funniest movies of all time. However a movie should not be laughed at, it should be laughed with. I shouldn't be laughing because the script is completely moronic. I shouldn't be laughing because the actors are ridiculous. I mean seriously I am sure this movie had enough of a budget to hire a few decent actors. Well I guess if I could act i wouldn't go near this script either. I am certain a bunch of foul mouthed 5 year old kids penned it under the name "Eli Roth". Seriously every character is off the shelf stock. Young, pot-headed, hedonistic, horny and above all stupid kids go on massive road trip throughout Europe and end up in an area which lures tourists in and has people pay to slaughter them. Whoa that is a good one... Let me tell you now. I find it funny that soft core porn is distributed throughout Hostel in effort to convince you that there was something in the film that was worthwhile. It is a paradox that anyone who watches this film will be violated far worse than any of the stupid characters in the film.
