Hostel... what a letdown!!

Rating: 4/10 (12 January 2006)

I was so excited to see "Hostel". I had seen previews for the past month and had read reviews saying that it was one of the most terrifying and sick movies ever made. After about 45 minutes into the movie i started to wonder if i had gone into the right theater because it seemed more like i was watching a soft-core porn than a horror movie. Even when the "torturing" scenes started it seemed like they kept leading you up to really gruesome scenes only to cut to a different scene as soon as it started to get good. Overall i very dissatisfied with this movie and disappointed in Quentin Tarrantino's stellar review of such a anticlimactic film.
