Title: Hostel
Post by: Cornholio on March 25, 2006, 14:42:16 PM
went to see it last night. for all the cool-looking trailers, its not as great as its made out to be. dont get me wrong, its good and watchable, but there just wasnt enough gore for me. the first half an hour is basically gratuitous porn, which after a while gets quite monotonous and i found myself wandering when the killings were going to start. ok, so there were a couple of bits that got me squirming a bit but it could have been a lot better than it was. so, has anyone else seen it and what did they think of it?

depends whether you want to go to slovakia to be hunted down and killed by a rich sadist.

He lives in America, being tortured to death by a sadist might be a good career option ;)

TBH I dont really enjoy gratuitous sex, torture and murder films so I think Ill give this a miss, seen far too much real blood in the past too.

Its half softcore porn and half sadistic torture/killings.  In that order.  I didnt think it was that good but it was certainly a giggle.  Conholio was bored for the first half of the movie as you might imagine. :P

Think a Softcore Porn (to the limit of softcore porn) uncut version Eurotrip starting in amsterdam.

Oh dear :mutley:

I dont mind porn, I just dont find it that exciting anymore, I also like to keep sex seperated from violence on ethical grounds.

Err, surely you get the deciding vote that null and voids all other votes.  :-)

Happy Birthday.  :ptu:

i wasnt bored all the way through the first half, its just that after a bit the porn did start to get boring, seeing as it was just the same thing over and over again.

OK it was a stupid pointless film I thought. Would much rather have seen Inside Man...still want to!

dont get me wrong, i enjoyed it, but there could have been a little less porn and a bit more blood and guts. (i apologise for sounding like some sick freak but if youre gonna make a film with killings in it, there has to be plenty of gruesomeness. i want to be able to nearly wade in blood.)

Some suspense is welcome too, it never goes wrong. Usually its more interesting if you can try and work out whos going to be chainsawed next ;)

try to aquire a film called "Slaughtered Vomit Dolls", not actually watched it yet but its so extreme no film festivals will allow it :shock:

will watch it when i get time, but its suppost to be a hard film to watch, see website of same name for a trailer.

hostel was a bit poor until the last 30mins really, the porn was just so lame and boring, didnt excite me in the slightest :roll:

Have to agree in some ways, was expecting so much more.

To be honest the "porn" was all good, but it just meant that the film took too long to get going. There werent actually many scenes of torture/murder tbh.

Overall: Was worth seeing Id say
