Too sick by far

Rating: 3/10 (21 March 2007)

I would warn anyone who can't take extreme, drawn-out torture scenes away from this film! It sounds obvious but the b******s I watched it with told me there were no torture scenes- I don't want anyone else to go through the trauma unwillingly. The horrific and unnecessary violence is a real pity in my opinion because there are some great storyline elements, acting and twists. The characters were original and the storyline developed in a very different way to what I expected which is often unusual with modern American horror...I didn't think Cabin Fever was brilliant, but at least it didn't leave me wishing like I'd never watched it. As I said, some great elements in Hostel are ruined for me by absolutely horrific violent torture.
