Hostel's primary and only goal is to disturb you using serious and the most important topic of selling human organs on the black market

Rating: 5/10 (29 August 2016)

Hostel is one of the first horror movies I've seen. I was eleven at the time when it first came out. I saw it only once, ten years ago. I'll try to recollect the best I can since I don't want to see Hostel again.
Hostel in fact deals with a pretty serious and hard subject - selling human organs on black market. A story goes something like this: three friends go to Slovakia only to have fun. Along that way they meet some hot girls who seem to only want to have some fun. Of course, they have another goal in mind. And there goes the horror...
Hostel is not a frightful movie. It's more disturbing than actually scary. If someone is not a fond of gory movies, they can drop Hostel off their watch list. Hostel is not a gore fest movie, but scenes where people are tortured are made pretty convincing. Hostel depicts a sick world, underworld, where people are brutally tortured and killed for their organs. Few people will enjoy watching this one since it deals with the most important topic in a very brutal fashion. Those looking for some nonsensical violence and cleverly put scary ideas won't find any of those here. The closest movie to Hostel I can remember is SAW, but far less original.
To conclude: There's not much left to analyze. If you asked me ten years ago if I would recommend this movie, I'd surely respond with "yes". Today, I really don't see why would someone watch Hostel or any of this kind of movies. Hostel is not enjoyable, scary, nor it creates tension. It uses serious topic only to disturb you; and I don't see why would anyone want to make themselves feel that way.
