Perfect horror film

Rating: 10/10 (31 August 2007)

Hostel was a great follow-up to Eli Roth's great Cabin Fever. It was well-written, scripted, and acted. Hostel also had Roth's interesting blend of sex, blood, horror, and comedy, and it works much better here than in Cabin Fever. Hostel is definitely not a film for everyone, but genre fans are sure to love Roth's newest film. I especially loved Jay Hernandez and Derek Richardson is great performances, and their characters made this film so enjoyable. For once, this horror film allows you to get attached to the characters so that when they die, it is all the more effective. I would really recommend this to anyone, but I think that horror fans will get the biggest kick out of it. While it wasn't as good as the sequel, Hostel was still one of my favorite horror films and a shockingly great time.
