HOSTEL (2006)

"Good concept and great hype but did,nt live up to it though."

I thought this was supposed to be the Goriest Torture-fest "call the paramedics" fright fest of all time.and be the most scariest movie ever. NOT! Great Premise for a film. Too bad it was slow and took an HOUR to get to any kind of torture or gore. This wasn't anything special at all. They hyped this thing like you were gonna go running from the theatres screaming for life. Trust me; you've seen scarier, you've seen gorier and bloodier, and more importantly you've seen better. At least they keep the audience (male audience anyway) entertained the 1st hour with lots and lots of Hot naked women. Other than that its a great "Idea" wrapped in an otherwise cookie-cutter horror film. it had a good concept and story but did,nt live up too it if a better director like alex aja or rob zombie did this it would be much better. as for the sequel it was a little better but yet again didnt live up to the hype

I agree with you on this one. Everyone acted like it was so good, but I just thought it was ok.

Still gotta work on enticing people to watch movies or keep them away with your reviews JR. It's this simple. I've never seen Hostel 1 or 2 and all you told me was that there are naked women, the 1st hour is boring, and that I've seen scarier movies. You also said it was a great "Idea" and had a "good concept" but I still know nothing of the movie.

I know, I know... just knowing the fact there are naked women in the movie should entice me to go rent it haha... but i'd rather know what the movie is about before I go spend any money on it.
