A new level of SUCK

Rating: 1/10 (10 January 2006)

I will make this short and sweet. Hostel is the MOST Disappointing MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN. And no, that is not a hasty, post viewing rant from someone who was simply just disappointed. This movie, honestly, SUCKED. And I will tell you why. It's one thing to go see a movie that you know isn't going to be that good and then see exactly what you expect. But to go see a movie and expect it to suck (as I did Hostel), only to have it suck twice as much for twice as many reasons, that's a whole new level of suck. Ya see, I expected Hostel to be low on substance and meaning and high in gore. Turns out, this movie couldn't even deliver the latter. That's right, with the exception of one scene, Hostel was weak in the graphic nature department. In fact, Hostel was so weak, if it weren't for the pointless sex and nudity and the pervasive language, it could have been rated PG-13. And I mean that. This movie was so typical and so "not" a departure from the norm. In fact, there was hardly any torture. It ended up just being a "get away from the evil bad guys" movie, typical of all other proclaimed "horror films." I'm so upset I cant even write anymore. The last thing I'll say is this. 1) Eli Roth can't write a script to save his life (check out the scene where the main character talks about a girl drowning, that was a pathetic attempt to create emotion in the audience) and 2) Quentin Terrentino should be ashamed to have his name on this project. This movie is without a doubt, an F-
