Hostel

[Protoclown]

DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE :/

[ScruU2wice]

In the commercials they had quotes calling it brilliant

but they were from something like bloodhorror magazine.

[Jeff The Ninja]

I Heard that it was alright, A friend of mine saw the uncut "unFinished" version at the Toronto Film Festival and he said he liked it. His biggest fear was that they wouldve cut too much footage out so that they could put it in the main theatres.

[James]

But, Quentin Tarantino present it! It HAS to be good.

Cabin Fever was mildly good, do I was hoping Roth's next film would improve on what he started with. Since Protoclown hates it, it must be really good.

[Jixby Phillips]

I really liked Cabin Fever but this looks unplesent

[Chocolate Boy]

I had a dream the other day that I was watching it, I stopped at the beginning though because I didn't want any nightmares.

[Jeff The Ninja]

Cabin Fever almost made me Puke, but in a good way. Just that part where that chick is shaving her legs and the flesh starts peeling off her body made me really uneasy.

[KevinTheOmnivore]

This movie looks like a lump of crap. American horror movies aren't even horror movies anymore, they're more like some weird form of necrophilia. :posh

Seriously though, what's with everything needing to be like fucking CSI now? Can't we scare people without showing a a person getting ripped apart? That isn't scary, it's just morbid and creepy.

[AChimp]

Everything I've read says that this movie sucks. :(

[ArrowX]

I Stole the poster from work. The first trailer I saw made it look awesome. The one with the guy being dragged down a hallway and looking into rooms and seeing other people being tortured, then he gets strapped into a chair. But from what I hear from friends it was total bullshit.

[Mockery]

The movie was shit.

Uneventful, not shocking or gross in any way, and it didn't even have the "pancakes" kid from Cabin Fever. Don't see it in theatres, don't even waste your time seeing it on video. Completely overhyped.

[Shifty]

There's something in the water in Grande Prairie.


yes there is in fact. i dont drink it.

[MarioRPG]

I knew this movie was going to be shit. They made it sound too good in the commercials.

[DaxF]

I think it's going to be hot, tarentino hasn't let me astray yet.

[Spectre X]

Tarantino was a producer. He hasn't really had anything to do with the actual movie.

[Supafly345]

Producers normally have something to do with the movies they produce.

[Mockery]

Yeah they do. They go,"here, take my money and triple it for me while I'm away on vacation :lol"

[Spectre X]

Producers normally have something to do with the movies they produce.

Traditionally, all of the "Tarantino presents" movies involve very little Tarantino.

[ArrowX]

Tarantino just liked the movie enough to staple his gay face all over it.

[Command Prompt]

As Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick have taught us, American Movie producers are basically venture capitalists. They finance the movie and hire actors and directors and try to capitalize as much as possible on ticket sales. This is often at the expense of atistic quality and integrety. (See Jerry Bruckhiemer films) Even if you save up the money and direct a movie yourself and have your buddies act in it, whos gonna release your movie in theatres? You have too suck up to producers at one point cause they have the moola. Movie threatres pay money to carry a film. Why do you think popcorn and soda costs 10 bucks? This lead to the rise of the independant film genre, in which the directors truley call the shots and are responsible for the complete direction of the movie, and the producers stay behind the scenes as little as possible. The funny thing is, quentin got his start as an independant director, and his name became so bankable he appears to be selling out now, by producing movies.

However in his defense, all he's doing is giving others the same shot he got. Its unfortunate that some of the newer movies he's helped produce are not that great, but what can you do. Tarrantino is a huge movie buff and he's done alot for north american cinema. Aside from that, would most people ever of watched "Hero" or "Detroit 9000" if he didn't re-release them into mainstream video or cinema? He's just giving the general public a larger palette for movies.

[sadie]

i thank him for "hero," yes.

[Womti]

after seeing all the hostel-haters on this thread, I can only wonder as to what makes the movie so bad.........? acting? directing? shitty plot? not enough gore and violence? not enough realistic gore and violence?? just what about the movie is so bad???

[Mockery]

I'll be happy to elaborate.

First off, the movie takes forever to get to the whole torture sequence. I'd have no problem with this if the first hour of the movie wasn't boring as shit.

Second, it's a titfest. Again, I have no problems with nudity in horror movies, and for any classic horror movie it's a requirement. But you can tell that with this one they were relying SOLELY on the nudity to carry the film. It's just pathetic.

Thirdly, when you finally do arrive at the 'shocking' torture scenes, you discover that they're nothing like what the trailers and reviews promised. It's not scary. It's not gory. It's just weak. Half the time they cut away whenever anything bad is about to happen. What kind of bullshit is that? I've seen a million horror movies that don't cut away no matter how crazy the gore might be. Considering this movie was supposedly to be so shockingly gory, this was the biggest let down of all.

And finally, it was predictable as hell and the ending was lame. You hate all of the characters, and the one I hated most is the one that lived. Bullshit.

All in all, it's a formulaic piece of shit. If you want real gore and horror, see something else.

[Johnyy Darko]

So Rog, what good gorey horror movie do you recommend?

[xbxDaniel]

He's made like four mini-mocks with his opinions about horror movies, and there's a huge review site. I still like The Evil Dead II, but you didn't ask me.

[The Retro Kat]

Hostel was lame as shit. I was extremely disappointed, although I had low expectations anyways.

[Johnyy Darko]

That a good topic that can be on this forum, also a good one is to post a list of some of your favorite horror movie and have other topics like favorite gorey movie or zombie movie.

[executioneer]
