What a disappointment...

Rating: 1/10 (24 April 2006)

When I first learned of Hostel and the impact it had on audiences, I couldn't wait to see what all the fuss was about...and after watching this clichÃ©d and boring movie, I still do not know what the fuss is all about.
How was this movie scary? How was this movie sickening? How was this movie ever heralded as "the scariest movie in a decade"? Perhaps my growing up with splatter and horror films gives me a heavily biased opinion, but nothing in this movie was brand new...AT ALL.
The Exorcist is scary...The Shining is scary...Nightmare on Elm St. is scary...and so on and so on.
Hostel is not scary. It's just Saw all over again.
