Review of Hostel

Hostel (2005)
5/10
Don't be fooled, this film is directed by Eli Roth, not Quentin Tarantino
8 December 2006
To make a horror film scary, it used to rely on the suspense. But horror films made today now rely on gore to make it scary, which leaves barely anything to the imagination. HOSTEL is a film that only relies on it's gore to try and make it scary, but was it scary? No way!

HOSTEL is about a group of three backpackers who go to a hostel in Bratislava where the women are pretty and will want to party and have sex with you all the time. But later on in the film, the women lure the men into a torture chamber where one by one, they are tortured and killed.

HOSTEL was really unenternainig. The first thirty-minutes was just partying and sex but then it gets to the torture which I was waiting for because I really wanted the characters to get killed, they were really unlikeable. This films is not well-made because it makes you look at your watch constantly making you ask yourself 'how much longer do we have left?', and it leaves you more bored than scared.

By the way, don't be fooled, Eli Roth directed this film, not Quentin Tarantino.
