Please, look elsewhere for your gore

Rating: 1/10 (22 September 2006)

I hate to do this, but I am voting not so much on the film making in general, but this storyline of this movie. This is, by far, the most disturbing movie I have ever seen. I'm sure there are many more out there like it, but, because of the wide-scale release of this picture, I went to see it. The only good thing I can say about this movie is that it raises people's awareness of the horrible things that people can do (both from a killing standpoint and a storyline standpoint). I realize that this is a movie, and that sometimes people use movies as a way to escape the realities of life, but I would never, ever suggest that anyone see this film. In fact, I have and will continue to steer people clear from this movie. I really wish I had something relatively intelligent to say to make people avoid seeing Hostel, but I'm afraid that I will only have hope to rely on to help me get the word out NOT to see this. I would gladly give the people who have the rights to this movie $10 to wipe this movie from my mind. Ew.
