It sucks!

Rating: 1/10 (17 November 2018)

«Hostel» does not even qualify as a horror movie. It's just a bunch of disgusting clichés regarding Slovakia and Central Europe. A grose Americancentrism makes the whole plot. It builds a pseudo realistic and pseudo ironical register which excludes any supernatural feature; consequently, the film suggests that poverty, marginalization and corruption in Slovakia are the causes of serial murder and horror. Obviously, Americans are shown as victims, but also as heroes.
