Hostel

[cqb101]

It comes out tomorrow, anybody plan on seeing it? I can't wait. From what I have seen in the trailers and read online, this movie will be great. I love Eli Roth;s first movie, Cabin Fever, so that might have something to do with it.

[Anarky]

What's it all about? It does sound interesting. And you seem to have a good taste in movies, so I might really be interested in that?

Stop, you're gonna make be blush.;)

Basically, it's about a Slovakian hostel where rich European business-men can pay to torture and kill people. Three tourists get caught up in it and get tortured and...killed. That's about all I know, I haven't read much about it because I didn't want to spoil it for myself.

Anyway, apparently at advanced screenings people were passing out and throwing up because of the gore in the film. The only reason the MPAA let it slide is because Tarantino had his name on it as a producer(he also helped Roth with the dialogue, but isn't credited as a writer). Must be nice to have that kinda power in Hollywood, huh?

EDIT:

Just took this off of yahoo movies...this is a much better description then I gave, lol.

Two adventurous American college buddies, Paxton and Josh, backpack through Europe eager to make quintessentially hazy travel memories with new friend Oli, an Icelander they've met along the way. Paxton and Josh are eventually lured by a fellow traveler to what's described as a nirvana for American backpackers--a particular hostel in an out-of-the-way Slovakian town stocked with Eastern European women as desperate as they are gorgeous. The two friends arrive and soon easily pair off with exotic beauties Natalya and Svetlana. In fact, too easily. Initially distracted by the good time they're having, the two Americans quickly find themselves trapped in an increasingly sinister situation that they will discover is as wide and as deep as the darkest, sickest recess of human nature itself--if they survive.

They advertise it as "inspired by true events". Actually, the director was surfing the net one day and stumbled across a (fake) foreign website where they let you kill Americans for a price.

And the MPAA would totally not do that. They don't really care who you are. They have to follow their general guidelines when they rate movies. So I just called your bluff.

The movie looks like crap.

I saw QT had something to do with it on the poster. The Gimp guy kinda scares me though. I don't know if I'll see this. Most horror movies suck and I hated Cabin Fever.

I saw it last night, and I was impressed. There wasn't as much gore as I thought there was going to be, but what it had got the job done.

[BartAllen]

i saw the movie. it was alright, nothing special. the first half was all nudity and sex, the second half was somewhat at times over the top goriness. that was about it.

[Cerpin Taxt]

I thought it sucked.

[Mandi-chan]

I think it looks disgusting.

You and Zarius are two peas in a pod...

[Brodie]

I saw it tonite and enjoyed it. It takes a lot to gross me out, but I cringed.

see. i was thinking the movie looked really good until i saw it. you shouldnt judge a book by its cover.

Cabin fever was good, because it had a power ranger in it.

[Brodie]

What power ranger???

I saw it and I regret it. This was the worst movie I have seen in a long time. The first half was porn and the rest was a bad story with barely any violence in it.

Don't judge a book by the cover. that was from what someone else said on here..

[Mobius One]

I saw it on Friday the 13th and I have to admit that I was very very doubtful about it. I actually did think that it was pretty good. At least I thought it was. It wasn't nearly as gory as I heard, and It isn't the kind of movie that I would buy, but I did enjoy it in the theater.

[BartAllen]

lol. he didnt judge it by its cover, he went and saw it and thought it sucked. theres a difference. lolol.

I give your burn a 3 out of 10.

May I go into more detail then? The movie was so insanely bad I almost got up and left. I didn't though because there was promise of it being violent. So I sat through 2 hours of garbage. Half the dialog seemed like it was written by a kid who just discovered swear words. I don't know how adults talk around you but adults around here don't try and cram "****" as many times into a sentence as possible.

There was nothing scary or gross about it. This movie had the "happy" ending and left me more angered then breath taken. Some moron actually clapped at the end. I wanted to show him some hostility. There is nothing about this movie that makes it good or any different from any other slasher film out there. Another thing that bugged me was all the porn. If I want porn I'll download it off the internet thank you. I go to the movies to see movies not porn.It was a picture perfect example of over-hype. It was not gory, good, scary, or awesome. It was trash, made to target teenagers and young people who have never see a movie before.

[Brodie]

Yeah, not gorey at all....****, was there even blood in this?

[Spitfire]

That movie was very weak in the gore department. Even my girlfriend agrees and she loves gore just as much as I do. I found Sin City to be more gory. They show a lot more. Ever seen the movie Cradle Of Fear? It makes this movie look like

Now still as a stand alone movie not compared to anything else it's still a horrible film. It seems like we are told that it is good so we are supposed to believe it is. I don't see what QT did in this film.

[Brodie]

You're an idiot.


Youre lucky you dig Dante...

[pwnage]

I thought it sucked.

People, Cerpin obviously knows what the hell he is talking about, so pay attention.

Its a ****** movie, but there is so much wacky junk in that movie, its a good movie to see with freinds and only that so you can chuckle and talk about all the weird crap in that movie. Don't see it by yourself.

The plotline is junk.

[Spitfire]

You're an idiot.


Youre lucky you dig Dante...
I'm an idiot because I dont agree with you? I like your logic. Why don't tell me why it's good then?

[cqb101]

You did NOT just bring up Cradle of Fear. That movie was complete and utter crap. I wish I had never, ever seen that. Please don't remind me again.

[Spitfire]

Yeah it's pretty bad but there is a lot more gore in it then this movie.

[Brodie]

Maybe you should look beyond the gore, or lack thereof, and think about the concept. Imagine being on a roadtrip with your friends, and they start coming up missing. Imagine being alone in a **** country. Then when someone says they can take you to them you wake up chained to a chair, and a dude has knives, scalpels, and more junk. The idea of being tortured is terrifying, the idea of being alone so far from home.

And what you said about adults not talking like that? They aren't adults they're college kids. Wait till you get to college, my friend, **** is used about as much as the word "The."

It just happens.

And I wasn't being serious when I said you were an idiot, though you did post a Barney picture, and the fact that you went so far as to google the picture says something about your priorities....Or how much time you have on your hands.

I didn't call you an idiot for didn't agree with me. Remember that.

[Cerpin Taxt]

All the petty arguing in the world can't make the movie any better.

The plot sucked.
The acting sucked.
The gore was stupid.
It wasn't all that scary.

The only good thing about the movie is when that girl jumped in front of the train. I laughed. Hard.
