Cool, but disturbing. If you like Gianno & NC-17 Grindhouse flicks then you must check this one

Rating: 8/10 (5 May 2007)

Three guys, one Icelandic and two Americans visited Slokavkia in order to look for chicks. But little do they know the horror that awaits them.
That's the premise of this brilliantly shocking film from director Eli Roth. Roth, who previously directed his horror-comedy debut Cabin Fever, has come up with an excellent gore-fest which took his name by storm.
Produced by Quentin Tarantino, this film is an exploitative tribute to films like Cannibal Holocaust, I Spit on Your Grave, Friday the 13th and several Italian gore fests including Reazione a catena(aka Chain Reaction) and so forth.
The acting is OK. But, the coolest thing about Hostel is the character Oli and Natalya. Oli is a wonderful Icelander, having knew that Icelanders are cool people, he makes one hell of a character. Natalya is also a great character, being a damn hottie. The film is kinda easy to follow, especially when it doesn't have those stupid flashy sequences that has conquered almost every PG-13 horror films.
One thing that bugs me is that the film kinda acts as a social commentary. Eli Roth says that this film deals with the ignorance surrounding tourists(especially Americans) who visited a certain country without knowing what's surrounding them. That kinda bugs me, because i'm a traveler, and me being a tourist, i don't feel ignorant about that country. Perhaps he was talking about Western tourists in general, i might say.
Still, this film is great. This ain't a chick flick, but if your girlfriend is a freak or loves horror films, then you must bring her on a date, bring her back home, watch this film on DVD with her, and get laid. It's simple, and fun.
