Euro trip with gore

Rating: 5/10 (8 January 2006)

I have to say I was pretty disappointed with this movie. Even though I though Cabin Fever sucked I figured maybe it was just a mess up by Eli Roth and that he'd redeem himself. And I've learned a lesson, Eli Roth sucks at making horror movies. This movie was basically a less funny rehash of Euro trip for the first half or more, complete with nudity, sex, drug use and weird locals. Then it got really gory which is the only reason I'm giving it a 5 out of 10. I love gore, and this movie definitely didn't lack in that department. But where after seeing the previews I expected a gory, suspenseful, frightening horror movie, I got a crappy comedy with a whole lot of gore. This really could have been a good horror movie if it was scary in the least, but it wasn't. And don't get me started on the ending, once again Eli dropped the ball. It felt like Eli just took every character in the movie that had done Paxton wrong throughout and just dropped them straight in his path as easy an quickly as possible. And how convenient he finds his friends killer, cuts off exactly the same fingers he lost off the guy and kills him the same way the guy killed his friend. Stupid stupid stupid. Props on the gore and the nudity, the rest of the movie sucked.
