Not bad, although it has it`s gruesome moments, they aren`t overly shocking. The story line is interesting but was not done in a smooth, timely manner. It seemed to be a movie that couldn`t decide what speed it wanted to go.
horrible. just horrible. it went from ridiculous and pointless nudity to gore gore gore. but the characters had no development so we really didnt CARE that they were dying! The story line needed to be better. This movie had potential, they could have done so much more. I really don`t recommend this movie. It was terrible.
An entertaining movie. Less gore and more suspense would`ve made this movie better.
horrible
great movie!
This movie is definetly NOT worth the hype what so-ever!! It`s fine but not compariable to brilliant movie like saw.......it`s 40 minutes of boobs alone then 40 minutes of killing not even gory killing?what are people talking about? not scary,not gory and an insult to saw thats for sure!
This movie stinks !!!! I don`t know why i wasted so much money on this sucky movie.
If you`re not allowed to watch hard core porn, watch Hostel. 1/10. I gave it a 1 because of the swearing. I looooove swears.
WOW. And i thought saw one and two were sadistic. this movie, beats out all other disturbing movies. i give it 10 bloody chainsaws out of ten. p.s.- this isnot a movie for the weak stomached
amazing
It was absoluty brutal. One of the worst movies I have ever seen! The first half of the movie I thought I was watching soft core porn. Was not scary at all. Story line was awful. Do not waste your time and money and this movie. Big disapointment.
how can i guy can run for half of the movie with his finger choped and holding the fingers.
DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE! This is the worst trash I have ever seen, I want my money back NOW! Bum jokes, bad dialog, bad "Eurotrip-ish" beginning, the worst acting I have EVER seen. I have never been this upset after seeing a movie. I can’t believe Quentin Tarantino helped produced this, I can’t believe he would have his name ANYWHERE NEAR Trash. You have been warned!
Great premise...however the story could have played out better. This movies can wait for video.
I will give it an E for Effort. Is the director successful in creating horror and tension through his skills? Nah, gimme a break. The only reason if the audience were scared by it is because this "movie" is only, lazily, deliver the raw image of blood and gore to the screen. If a person is really talented, s/he will be able to generate the tension and horror through the mood/tone of the story by itself, instead of simply presenting the bare disgusting image to scare the audidence. A real good and talented director/writer can tell a truly scary and horrible story without a mention of one single drop of blood. This "movie" is waaaaaaaay l
Again like the previous reviewer, I am a fan of Saw 1 and 2, but this movie could not compare to it. The special effects of the gore was really well done, and honestly I havent seen so many breasts in a movie since watching a porno. This movie`s plot is even worse than House of Wax, the only thing that stopped me from giving this movie a 1 or 2 star was because of the special effects. 3 stars Max, and thats even pushing it.
I ended up feeling very nauseous during this film, but also, half of it was just women in the nude. When you put the two together, you get Breasts and Blood! What kind of 12 year old thought of this? Too basic and not even talented.
I`M fan of Saw 1 and 2, BUTTT, this movie is simply GROSS! the gore is EXTREME!! Its SICK! If u want ur GF to hold u tight during a movie then go watch it! as a bonus for guys, movie also displays beautiful/hot/horny european girls ;) i give it 3/5, mainly cuz its a one-time movie as no one will have the heart to watch it again!!
Terrible subject matter. Should not have been produced. How does this stuff get on screen? The synopsis should be rewritten so we`d know enough not to go see this. What a betrayal to moviegoers!
Absolutely disturbing! It is horrible to think that any mind, no matter how sick and twisted it is could come up with that concept. I have to admit the acting was quite amazing, bravo to jay hernandez, but as the other reviewers have said 1st hour = soft core porn, the last 30 minutes = gore fest. I would almost like to scream at everyone and say dont see it, its disturbing... but we all knew going into it that it was a horror movie, don`t complain about what is clearly stated in the movie trailer. But a WARNING: if you are at all weak stomached, or easier scared, just skip this one.
Junk. It is a shame that Quentin put his name on it.
Garbage. Please refund.
Worst movie I have seen in years.
I give this a one star. A total disappointment. This piece of garbage is simply a disgrace in the movie industry. It`s offensive in nature, no plot and the sole selling point is the gore and violence. Disgusting, the entire crew should be sent to jail for this and owe the audience an apology. You are all losers.
RIDULUOUS MOVIE, DO NOT WATCH IT.. ITS A WASTE OF TIME!
Great movie I give it the highest rating.

Loved it. It was so much better than Cabin Fever(what a crappy movie). I think some of these nay sayers ought to lighten up and take it for what it is.
The movie was creeping at the end, but in the beggining it had too much sex. I thougth that I was in the wrong movie. But in general, I am satisfied with the concept, it is a different kind of terror.
Its crazy to think of the things some guys would do for sex.
UGGHHHHHHHH Sickest move...,,,,, but I like it! =)
IF U DONT LIKE THIS MOIVE ITS BECAUSE UR "NORMAL" AND U UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MOVIE IS PROMOTING, NOT BECAUSE U CANT HANDLE IT!! EVERYONE LIKES A GOOD SCARY MOVIE! BUT THIS WAS JUS PLAN DISCUSTING!! PEOPLE THAT GO TO SEE THIS BY THEMSELFS ARE PHYCOPATHIC MEN THAT HAVE A WARPED MIND AND MESSED UP CHILD HOOD! WHO COULD THINK THIS UP! AND PEOPLE WONDER WUTS WRONG WITH THE WORLD!! PHYCOPATHS LIKE CHARLES MANSON & ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO GET ABDUCTED AND TORCHURED LIKE HOLLY ROBINSON WENT THOUGH TORTURE!! PEOPLE ACUALLY GO THROGH THIS IN REAL LIFE WHEN THEY GET KIDNAPPED! AND THEY SHOUDLENT DISPLAY IT IN THEATRES IN A GARBAGE MOVIE LIKE THIS!! I CANT
it was minor gory, (hellraiser movies do better lol) not a bad film , original idea
It was definately the grossest movie I`ve seen in my life. I agree that the beginning was a lot of unnecessary porn`ish` stuff, but it allowed us to know the characters which made the blood, guts, and gore worse. Ball gags freaked me out before, and now they have taken on a whole new sick and twisted turn...same with blow torches.
I don`t think I wanna go to Slovakia anytime soon. Yeah right. This movie was to be based on a true story. The only truth to this story is that this movie flops. I get more scared watching halloween cartoons. (The kids were funny though and the acting was kinda actually good.....for the most part" Say what you want but Quinton T has done much better than this.
Gory, unsettling, disturbing...an homage to the grind house horror flicks of the past. It`s a good horror movie but it`s definitely not for everybody.
bad movie? LOL....Noo way.......this movie kicked assssssssssss!!!the only reason all you hated it is because you cant handle it..
I have to say it,Hostel was just too "Hollywood scary" for me. I was expecting a lot more, the previews made it seem like it was actually scary and disturbing. Some nudity is ok in movies, but after a while it was basically soft porn. For the blood and gore factor in the movie, I have a pretty strong stomach when it comes to scary/horror movies, but I didn`t even jump once during Hostel. Only a handful of scenes were kind of scary, I feel the directors could have done a much better job and pushed what some people find scary, I don`t recommend anyone go and see it, wait for the rental.
Who ever found this movie, as a five star movie is disturbed and needs psychatric help, this movie sucked and was very disturbing. It was like watching european soft core porn, turning out in to fluff somewhat like 8mm with Nicolas Cage.
for all these ppl that are saying this movie sucked.... were they watching the same movie... hostel is amazing.. its soo messed up .. very scary and very sick .. if u like gore see this movie .. u wont be dissapointed.. it makes u think about how sick some ppl can be ... its gRRRREAT ...
horrible film saw 2 was wayyyyyyy better.......CAN I PLEASE GET A REFUND!!!!!! waste of time and money
BAD MOVIE, this movie had no plot, not scary at all a few frights but nothing to really freak you out. very dissapointed.
realy,realy, REALY BAD MOVIE. i thought i was going to see a bad ass horror flick insted i end up seeing somthing completely the opposite bud the cool thing is that i get the movie poster now.
The first half reminds me of a recent trip to south Beach but then the plot thickens and gets serious. It was pretty good, might have felt better if I paid Matinee or on cheapie night. I did leave satisfied although I actually expected more gore. All I gotta say is, the kids rock! Thing is, such a pastime could exist out there....
Great to see a good horror movie... its been awhile since something unique like this has been released!
Great movie!!!!!!! Lots of Gore & T & A. What more could a guy ask for.
if gore is your thing then go see this
waste of time!
In my opinion this is a movie that never should have been created. Not only was it filled with nudity, torture and gore, but the gross impact on what these sadistic ideas could actually conspire in the mind of a real life serial killer. Movies like this should be banned. To the parents: Do not allow your child to see this with or without you. It may traumatize the child for the duration of their lives.
