The movie dragged on.*

Rating: Null/10 (12 January 2006)

The only way you'll enjoy "Hostel" is if you rent the DVD,fast forward it to the second half,and watch it from there.The film is as graphic and disturbing as they say it is and blood and gore fans will find a taste for it.That's only if they're able to sit through about an hour of character development and plot setting which has not been surrounded by any suspense.Sure,there is the nudity but I didn't really care.This is sad because director Eli Roth,who directed "Cabin Fever"(Which I thought was superior.)seems to have a taste for horror films but he fails to use it in this film.Although,the film is not that bad,I felt pretty much angered by the fact that I got less of what I wanted."Hostel".It's not one of the best or one of the worst.But some horror fans may be disappointed by the lack of waiting and the lack of suspense.
