"Hostel" What was that all about

Rating: 3/10 (1 April 2006)

The acting was not bad at all. A waste of imagination is the first thing that comes to mind. The film starts well and gets a little bogged down after about forty minutes, then goes down hill rapidly after that. The story line is too predictable to follow. The film seems to rely on the guts and gore to sell it to the poor viewer that is unfortunate enough to stumble into the cinema. At times I could have been watching a short from the novice film festival. Shame I was full of high hopes for the film. The sort of film the late Teens will enjoy. Not for the couple stealing a few hours from the Kids. My wife spent about 60% of the film with her eyes shut. So that could be a plus. I doubt this will be a one of those cult films. It will be well forgotten by the summer
