Hostel

Favorite Horror Film

My favorite horror film would have to be Hostel. I dont watch alot of horror films due thier cheesy nature, but this one was memorable. I like horror films that are realistic and intresting. Hostel, is a great horror film because of the originallity and realism. - The movie is basically about a secret club, where members pay millions to murder kidnaped tourist. The member get to choose the manner in which they will murder their victoms. You can accually imagine some phycos doing this, chills run down the spine when watching the graphinc scences. -The best quality of the movie is its realism. The movie has exellent special effects. The movie seems very realistic and the actors are pretty decent. -Additionally, the thing that stood out was the originallity. Most horror films have been done before and its good to see something new. Its good to see something other than a zombie or stalker horror film. The plot of the movie was a pretty good idea. It makes me wonder when the writter got the inspiration. - In conclusion, Hostel is a great watch on dvd. The film has really good realism and special effects. The movie itself is intresting because of the originality. Im accually affraid just thinking about this movie. I know movies are fake but it does make me wonder if people like that really exist,

the movie was not intended to be scary... it movie was psychological then a guy in a mask running around in a womans dorm... this movie made me wonder what if? i am from poland and have stayed in hostels around europe... you need to keep your eye out for ppl....you never know where u might wake up...i loved it it was worth my time and i really felt bad for those guys and everyone in that hell...

A reviewer

I'm Italian and i run a hostel in Ushuaia, Argentina I was particularly surprised(but not that much in this crazy insane world) to know about a Thai site where they would actually do what happens in the movie. The movie itself has some good things and bad ones. The good(but difficul to watch because to me extremely scary) are the dark torture scenes and the overall atmosphere. the worst nightmare: Imagine being tied, handcuffed at a chair knowing that you will not get out alive while a crazy person plays with your pain, fear and parts of your body(cut a leg here, an ear there).Being totally dependent on the torturer's will for no reason. that's the scariest part, i think. the bad side of the movie is those kids that always appear all the time in many outdoors scenes(it seemed so stupid to me) and some other scenes. I don't understand why people complain about the nudity scenes. those girls are really beautiful and there's nothing to stop a guy to be in a dangerous situation if women are around. it's a reality

Hostel

All i can say is this has to be the most freakiest gross out movies I have ever seen. Its about 2 guys who on vacation are lured into a dark and sinister place and then try to survive for the lives...literally.

Just shoot me...please.

This movie was god awful. The plot was lame and was basicly soft-core porn for the first 45 minutes. Afterwards the story (which was bad to begin with) went even further down hill. After all the hype I wanted to see this movie so bad, "The scarist movie of the year". I wanted to be scared during a movie for once, but sadly I left the theater disappointed. The only reason I would even recommend movie to someone is so they could see how bad it really was. If you actually enjoyed this movie, you have brain problems and should see a doctor and then go out and see a GOOD horror movie.

I almost killed myself

The much awaited and anticipated horror film Hostel was a complete failure. The story line was lacking in substance and it seemed they depended only on sex appeal and cheap scares to keep the viewer entertained, but it failed to even do that. For those few people with no decency and a craving for soft-core porn i do recomend this movie but for the rest of humanity, who i hope actually has a soul, you should run, not walk away from the movie. The characters are under-developed and lack intelligence which almost gives me a hope that they will die. The curse that this movie has afflicted on the world is terrible and i can only hope to save you from the pain of seeing the movie. I went with a hope of seeing some good gore and unique tortue devices but i was granted niether. The movies attempt at scaring the audience only succeeded in the beginning when they are forced to watch porn. Do not rent it. Do not buy it. Do not watch this movie for longer than half a second.

THIS MOVIE BLOWS

If you are looking for a fright, don't watch Hostel and don't let the reviews on this page persuade you to either. Trust me. This movie sucks!!!I wanted to see this movie so bad because of the reviews and commercials and sneak peeks I saw. I also wanted to see it because Quinten Tarentino, someone I really look up to, was producing it. I went out and bought it expecting it to be a nightmare of torture with non stop blood and gore. I got the complete opposite. Sure, there are some clever and creepy ways on how to kill/torture someone, but it was overall, a disapointment. I got about an hour of useless stuff to see about 10 minutes of torture. So disapointing...

Scarier than Saw!!

I loved how I was finally able to watch a scary and gory movie, without the sarcasm and perverse jokes. However, I do agree with another review of it showing a lot of nudity, for a horror movie.

Nope

This movie is dumb. There is nothing about this one but to show some gore and more gore. If you like this movie, you might want to have your head examined by a professional.

A Masterpiece Of Horror

Welcome to your worst nightmare,backpacking across Europe and suddenly being lured as a victim to a murder-for-profit business. Eli Roth wrote and directed this movie and I for one think he did a great job!! It contains topless nudity and the torture,gore scenes might be a bit disturbing for some. The storyline is great and it seemed like it could really happen. I'm glad I added it to my DVD collection.

Unrelenting bore-fest

Trite, predictable plot -- even the sex scenes make you yawn. Uninteresting sets and locations. Cinematography straight out of the textbook. Dimensionless characters so poorly developed you can't like 'em, hate 'em, or be scared of 'em. (You just want to be rid of 'em! -- and to that extent only the film does provide some reward toward the end.) Special effects that are indeed grisly, but ultimatley neither impressive nor cathartic. A Hollywood happy ending (yes! even including a car chase!!) that is much more likely than the torture scenes to induce nausea. Lingering in the background, a weak political allegory that must have something to say about the post-Gulf Wars "New World Order" but says it so vaguely that it could be merely warmed-over puritanism. Maybe even anti-corporate satire -- who knows? If you liked the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, you'd do better to watch it again than to watch this one. (Or for the travel angle, try If It's Tuesday It Must Be Belgium.) Undeniably the film will appeal to a certain kind of viewer: not film buffs, however, but more likely those who keep snakes as pets only because they eat live mice. What a movie.

Watch Out For All The BLOOD!

Great Movie! Had lots of suspenseful times, however those who are squemish should watch out, there was lots of blood. Great Plot and the scenes were very visually captavating.

Made me Hostile

This movie is ridiculous! Not scary at all, just stupid senseless gore we have seen in all the other movies. Poor story line, the only thing worse than the story line was the acting. Don't buy this, don't rent this. If you really want to see this movie, wait until a friend rents it or something. Save your time & money.

Hostel

This movie was excellent and well made and made me jump and scream plenty of times. I highly reccomend it to all horror fans. A little too much sex and nudity though
