Happy 2006, IMDb!

Rating: 8/10 (11 January 2006)

Sigh, 2005 had to be one of the worst years for movies ever in my existence. We had nothing but either remakes or stupid flicks with no originality. However starting to 2006 in the theaters with "Hostel" isn't so bad. I understand people not liking the film because it's not typical in some ways, but I think this has in it's own little way of being a cult classic one day, just like Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
This had a true feeling of ultimate terror and my heart just lept several times out of my chest. I mean I just was like "Gnah!" during the torture sequences that were extremely painful to watch and you just kept on hoping the best for Jay's character and that someone would get their up comings for torturing innocent people. This was in no way meant for the family, it's extremely gruesome and terrifying. But to horror fans, I felt like this was a treat because it had such a real feeling.
The acting is above average over all, I mean, it's just three boys trying to get laid in Europe and happen to get mixed up with the wrong people, but like I said it's just a fun little gore movie for fans of horror. So, I'd recommend if you are in the mood for a gore fest and an excellent scare. This movie will have me up for a few nights! 8/10
