Re: Anyone interested in seeing HOSTEL?
I watched this just last night. I thought it had a good, solid, tense, ooh-I wonder-when-ITS- coming intro and build up, maybe a little too long a build up come to think of it.
I'm not an avid horror gore fan but i do like to watch movies that I know will make me squirm and I 'dont really want to watch but I will watch it' type of thing to please my curiosity.
However with Hostel I was wanting more when the end credits came. Apart from a few slighly jaw clenching scenes the rest were scenes involving set ups for what will happen if we showed you kind of thing but we won't, we'll leave it to your imagination. This is fine if you're selling that kind of material I think but from what I understood from the trailers before realease this was going to be a full on explosive, near to fainting (or puking) experience. For me Hostel did not reach this level at all.
All in all, I was really let down by the complete film and the promises that it made. Apparently it was proclaimed by Mr Roth I think to be the sickest movie ever.
Mmmmmm, I think I need to give him a call.
