Anybody ever see "Hostel"?
    #5655856 - 05/21/06 10:49 AM (17 years, 8 months ago)

I bought it and I am just about to watch it. The main menu on the DVD is scary. There's this dude screaming in the background while blood is dripping everywhere. There are menacing-looking surgical instruments on the menu too.

Boo!

Saw it in the theater. The acting was mediocre, but the plot was pretty decent.

It's not to bad, but not as scary as I thought it might be.

I downloaded it when it was in theaters, but I never did watch it. I don't know anyone that liked it though.

First half of movie - nothing but tits and mindless talking

Second half of movie - killing and blood...not as gorey as one would think though

Is it really that bad?  Oh man...I spent $20 on it too.  :frown:

I'm about half way through it; nothing too exciting so far.  I'm at the part where the one dude is left and the dark-haired chick is taking him to the "Art show".  The Icelandic guy is dead.  The quiet nice guy had his tendons severed.

As an aside...there some fine-ass babes at the hostel. I would probably want to go to this place too.

Eli Roth makes "fun horror" movies. What the hell did you guys expect, an oscar winner? When i was 10 i realized no movie can make me in the least bit scared anymore so i discovered the joys of fun horror and japanese creepiness.


Hostel was great, so was Cabin Fever. With that said, there should have been more torture scenes and gore. Also they should have the wrote the part where he goes back for the asian girl better, that was just plain retarded. Still one stupid part of the plot is a lot better than all the other horror movies coming out recently. Now, "Wolf Creek," that movie was just god awful.

And what was so bad about the acting? It was no capote but it was a hell of a lot better than the acting in the standard hollywood crap.

I think this guy summed the film up pretty well..

Quote:

Unrealistic and not scary.

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

I didn't like Hostel. The premise is frightening. The idea of being drugged, kidnapped, tortured, and killed by people who are paying to do it, is a great concept for a film. It's just too bad that the movie couldn't decide what it wanted to be.

It starts off like "Eurotrip" or any number of cheesy teen sex comedies. Lots of fake boobs and characters acting idiotic, in a fake atmosphere. Scenes in dance clubs that don't look realistic. You know, the types of places where people are dancing to loud music, but somehow can talk to each other in a normal tone of voice and everything is brightly lit so you can see all the movie extras pretending to dance in the background. Just like all the clubs, I've ever been to, right? Anyway, this goes on and on until the bloodshed starts, giving us absolutely no reason to feel anything for the main characters.

Then it turns into the horror film it should be. The scenes of torture are effective and psychologically scary if you imagine yourself in the situation, but in the context of the rest of this movie it just becomes ineffective.

Then the end of the movie turns into an unrealistic revenge fantasy that's played out, for the most part, for laughs. Kids payed in bubble gum help the good guy get away by smashing the bad guys heads in with rocks as they chew away and blow bubbles. The two girls and guy who set them up are easily killed when they luckily appear in front of the getaway car. The man that killed his friends just happens to be on the train on the way home so he can kill him and somehow not get blood on himself, then continue on his way. So is the movie supposed to be realistic, scary, or funny? It's falls short of any of these things. Eli Roth needs to pick one and do it.

The music is terrible. Not in the fact that the music itself isn't good, but for the fact that, A: it doesn't fit the movie, and B: There's way to much of it. There's a scene where the Characters are merely walking across a courtyard, and the music sounds like it should be a fight scene in Harry Potter. Completely out of place and distracting, further telling you this is just a movie no need to feel anything for the characters or get scared.

You can do a good compare and contrast between this movie and "Wolf Creek" which came out a couple weeks ago. Everything that is wrong with "Hostel", was done right in "Wolf Creek". Both movies are about young travelers getting into horrifying situations, however in "Wolf Creek" the characters actually act like normal human beings therefore you feel disgusted when they get tortured and killed. It's genuinely frightening and realistic, and by all means not "fun" to watch. It makes you feel horrible inside. It's REALISTIC HORROR. To make a stupid analogy. If "Hostel" and "Wolf Creek" were movies about Viet Nam, "Wolf Creek" would be "Platoon", and "Hostel" would be "Rambo: First Blood Part Two". (Note how neither would be "Full Metal Jacket" cause it's to good to be used in this analogy).

I gave "Hostel" a 3 out of 10 for a frightening concept, and the puke was a nice touch. . . If you're about to get tortured and killed chances are you're gonna puke. . . Realism, Eli. More realism please.
