Watch "Wolf Creek" Instead..."Hostel" is absolute garbage

Rating: 1/10 (17 March 2008)

This movie is, hands down, one of the worst "horror movies" I have ever seen.
The first 40+ minutes were so pointless and the 3 main characters are not developed enough, so when the torture scenes actually take place you don't care about them or what happens to them. You're just glad the movie is almost over.
Even the set up is so fake. Night clubs, brothels, even the hostels look like obvious studio set ups.
By the way, the torture/gore scenes are nowhere near as gruesome as Eli Roth/Tarantino would like you to believe.
If you want a more effective horror flick with a similar theme, see "Wolf Creek" instead. The story is similar, but more believable.
