Hostel

I just wanted to hear from people who'd seen this, as I'm going to watch the DVD as soon as I've got time.

Is it as sick, bloody, horrifying etc... as the cover blurb says?

I've got no problem at all with gruesome films as long as there's a point to it all Is the story itself any good? Any other thoughts?

Keep spoilers to a minimum, if you will!

I read from reviews that about the first half of the film is softcore pornography.

Hmmm... *looks up reviews*

I didn't like this movie.
It had tons of nudity.
It wasn't scarey, and it just didn't flow well.

How about digusting,filthy,gory, porn? That is how my unsaved 35 yr. old son and my son-in-law described it.

Well, I seen my share of blood and gore movies and IMO this one was lame. Not that believable, especially in the scale they are trying to convey on large it all was, the trying to imply or suggest what may be going on behind the various doors with too quick scattered glances but just only leaving you wondering and a "huh"?

I have no desire to watch it again. Now if you wanna talk about George Romero's series of zomby movies, and which one is my favorite....

(BTW - anyone note the "smoke stacks" and ashes landing everywhere - akin to WW2 death Camps?)

It was really pathetic. The movie isn't a horror movie, but more of a snuff film that features sex for the first 1/2 and pointless, brutal violence for the last 1/2.

The first half of this movie is nothing but nudity and drugs. The actual "horror" part is at the very end and they could have done so much better with it than they did. This was a very disappointing movie!

I've only heard one person say they liked this movie, and he said it was probably because of the breasts.

breasts (that word is in the bible )

If you're looking for a good horror film, I wouldn't recommend it.

Now I haven't seen all of it, I work at a movie theatre and stepped in once or twice and only saw parts of the second half (probably the most brutal parts, to be honest.)

I've also heard the beginning is nothing but sex, and after seeing what I did, I have to say it's not worth it. There was only one part that really grossed me out, but I don't think it's as terrible as the advertisements lead you to believe (depending on your tolerance for violence and gore). The horror in that movie, to me, stems from the horror of other people and what they are capable of, not the gore.

But there are plenty of other horror movies to choose from that I'm sure are better.
