Great movie...Never watching it again :)

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 2006)

I did NOT enjoy watching this movie at all, but I'm not gonna say it wasn't excellent because it was. As far as gore films go, this went above and beyond. Not in the bloody aspect coz it feels like you've seen it all before, but in the way this film gets under your skin and forces you to experience the victim's fear, to the point it becomes uncomfortable. And the screams of the tortured men and women...there will be no horror movie to come that doesn't take a listen to the sounds of "Hostel". Like a nightmare, the pleas for mercy quickly transform into hysterical shrieks of agony; realistic sounds of pain and desperation that will upset or at the very least, unsettle any person. This movie is about human suffering and the director wants you to know it. For what he and Tarantino set out to do they did it extremely well. They created a good splatter film. A lot of people have mentioned the morals surrounding this movie, who thinks up this stuff, who would want to watch these horrible things but it seems the answer to that is most of the world. I just hope everyone who goes to see this film enjoys where their morbid curiosity leads them :D
