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.

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.

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

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

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.

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?
