Hostel's really not that spectacular

Rating: 6/10 (1 April 2006)

I've seen hostel just a week ago and I must say I was disappointed. I really thought it would be a movie with real Tarantino dialog and a storyline with a twist, but what I saw was more like a b-movie with sick elements in it. Don't get me wrong, the storyline is very original and the movie is reasonable but certainly not what they want you to believe it is. The torture scenes are brilliant and thats why I was so disappointed that the rest of the film was pretty crappy. A movie like saw 2 is much more tense, hostel has very few tense moments, it's really all about the cutting and stabbing and burning people. Go and see it for yourself, it's just another horror movie that belongs on the top shelf of the local movie rental, nothing more nothing less
