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.

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

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.

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

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.
