Puzzled

Rating: 5/10 (24 April 2007)

Perhaps because of all the hype... and all this talk about how incredibly scary and disgusting this movie is... I found this movie to be not scary at all!!! Yes, the concept is disturbing, but, visually, it didn't make my stomach turn once! I was waiting... and waiting... and waiting... for the scenes everyone was talking about and when they finally showed up, they were almost comical! I've seen WAY scarier flicks. To be honest, I even find the SAW series to be scarier than HOSTEL. Not to say the movie was terrible. It's just not at the level of horror I imagined it to be. I can't believe I was afraid to watch this flick! Maybe I've become way too desensitized. Now THAT'S scary!
