Horrible film. Not disturbing. Not extremely gory.

Rating: 4/10 (8 May 2006)

The trailer promised us a new standard in modern horror. A new wave where extreme violence would be shown uncompromised, with characters and situations that disturb you so much it gets you vomiting your way out of the theater. A horror unlike anything you ever saw before. And what a horrible film it was.
Never ever did I saw a film so uninteresting and so boring before. A film that has no idea what genre it wants to be. The amount of gore in this flick is extremely low and the gore that is supposed to be gory is so ugly and comic style it isn't disturbing at all. It makes you laugh.
After 40 Min's of tidies you don't give a f*** about the characters. For the good and worse. Normally you feel for a character so you don't want them to be tortured or you hate them so much you can't wait to see it, well, this had none of both. And the concept is so awesome! What is that place? The only good thing of the movie, the place itself, but what do we know or find out about it? Nothing, we get a cheesy escape flick. I want to find out why they are tortured and what the intention is of the people involved. This film has some good moments but those are just not enough to make this a total failure.
Waste of our time. Hostel 2 better be much better or I never watch a Eli Roth film again.
