The truth about Hostel

Rating: 5/10 (7 January 2006)

Hostel is a dumb movie. If you thought this movie looked worthwhile from the trailer go see Saw 2. That movie had a lot... better violence. The gory scenes in that were grosser, more inventive and Saw 2 had superior plot. Hostel is a piece of crap. Those trailers you saw about audience members needing EMT response were SUCH BS. I mean, there ARE scenes with torture but any one strong enough to even sit down for this can handle it. I was actually disappointed at how tame the violence was compared to what I expected. It ended so quickly that me and my family looked at each other and went "that's it. seriously is it just over all ready." I give hostel credit for attempting to develop the characters a bit before killing them and I did feel compelled to root for the likable Jay Hernandez but the set up was more lengthy than the goods. The only real strong aspect of this film was the 20,000 tits in the beginning and the jokes in that section but honestly if I wanted to see guys bang foreign chicks I'd see Eurotrip again or rent a porno. And being the most OBSESSIVE Tarantino fan I've encountered, I must say that if i could, I'd take the chainsaw used in this movie and use it to cut his name off of the credits. Oh there was another good part, the car chase scene and I started getting excited during it that the movie was picking up but that was actually the climax.
