Disgustingly predictable...

Rating: 1/10 (8 January 2006)

I watched this film with my roommate for a Seattle newspaper review and was utterly disgusted and disappointed! Everything in the first 20 minutes or so was a dead giveaway to the rest of the movie. Personally, I love horror films and don't usually mind seeing gore if it is a significant part to the plot; unfortunately, this is not true for 'Hostel'... poorly written plot (no explanation entire film), far too obvious (audience is not left guessing with ANYTHING!), overly graphic (I don't just mean bloody, but literally the theatre had tons of people puking in the hallways - i saw it and asked), and basically not scary. I was far more grossed out than scared.... AND, I feel really bad for any Slovakians who see this film... VERY DISAPPOINTING and a waste of time/talent/money/ etc... Very misleading trailer and promotion.
