appalling

Rating: 1/10 (8 August 2006)

i have used IMDb for a number of years and this is the first time i have been moved by a film so much that i actually registered.
This film is an insult to intelligence. We only hired it because of the Tarantino tag and quite frankly I cannot understand why the man would degrade himself to allow his name to be used to promote such a poorly acted, poorly scripted and poorly directed film. It is at best boring and predictable the premise behind the 'hostel' is apparent to anyone over the age of 2.
There is only one part of the film that makes you wince and that is totally expected but of such a manner that you cant help but wince. The plot is laughable. The media hype surrounding this film is totally unwarranted it is NOT scary it is NOT horrific it is NOT even well made or even worth wasting 90 minutes of your life watching! I feel like demanding my rental money back but obviously it is not their fault! Do yourself a favour and only watch this film if it is for free or you have nothing else to do like..trimming nose hair or watching planes go by in the sky. It is RUBBISH!!
