Pretty friggin' sweet if you ask me

Rating: 8/10 (13 March 2006)

Yes, many may think that Hostel was a terrible movie because it wasn't your normal horror film. It starts off slow, but without that the movie would not have the same effect. Evertyhing seemed nice in the beginning for the characters and for the viewers and then WHAM everyone is plunged into this hell in eastern Europe. I personally found the film horrifying and graphic and Quentin Torantino did an excellent job. Another aspect of the film that I really enjoyed was the music. It was electrifying and made the environment of the film ten times more suspenseful. The torture scenes were very graphic and real, it wasn't just about slitting someones throat or putting a gun to their head. It was psychological for the characters and viewers. The whole point of the torture scenes were to mess up the minds of the victims instead of flat out killing them. I thoroughly enjoyed Hostel and will watch it again and recommend it for any horror movie lovers.
