Konterr Brilliant and touching
Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
lukereid-64550 If I'm being honest the scary part abit the film was the start as it builds up the intisipation of what could be a good film sadly it wasn't
LouAbbott I haven't read every review of "Hostel," but from what I have read, I don't find a reference to Quentin Tarantino, who serves as one of the executive producers. Tarantino loves switching gears mid-movie, and that's exactly what this film does. Also, Greg Nicotero, famous for his make-up expertise in some George Romeo "Living Dead" films and the hit TV show "The Walking Dead", serves as the special makeup effects designer and creator. It comes down to this: If you don't enjoy plenty of T&A for the first half of a film, and torture and some gore during its second half, don't bother. But if you do…… "Vodka and Red Bull."
Darkdaxter Everyone else has already mentioned the drawn out intro, the lack of character development, the bland characters, and the senseless plot. I will not continue to harp on those points. What really took me out of this movie within it's meatier bits are the stupid antics of the survivor. Movies are no stranger to the idea of someone surviving massive blood loss, but most make some attempt to couch this in reality (unless it's the villain), and normally I wouldn't much care. This movie shoves it in your face.He has his hand sliced open with a chainsaw (not to mention the other wounds), and at no point does he bandage or cauterize or even disinfect the wound in some way. The entire time I was waiting for him to at least get dizzy from it, but he runs around the rest of the film completely fine. He winces when he puts on gloves, but that's about it. And he can't even curl his "missing" fingers into the palm in later scenes.He miraculously makes it to a car undetected, but then runs back to save Kana, only to cut off her detached eye. A) Going back in was a ridiculous decision, and it makes no sense that they got out again just as easily. B) A doctor could have saved the eye as long as the optic nerve wasn't severed, you idiot! But it's fine because they somehow miraculously run over the scouters, only to ditch the car instead of having a car chase. Like hmm, maybe a hospital or a police precinct in another town would be a good idea? At least when you hit Germany, I mean, sepsis, anyone? But no, revenge!Even though her injuries aren't that bad, Kana kills herself, and yet the train keeps running. Even if the city was completely lawless, police would've stopped the train at least long enough to identify the body. I mean someone's got to clean it up. Can't be driving a bloody train over country lines.This film asks you to suspend your disbelief over and over throughout, and while I normally have a large tolerance for that, but this is ridiculous. Not in an over-the-top fun thrill ride sort of way, but in a nagging, 'You are watching a terrible fake movie,' sort of way. The more I think about it, the lower the rating gets!
MnesBlue I've watched "Vacancy (2007)" recently it was really an amazing movie! after that I did some researches for movies such as "Vacancy", so I found "Hostel 2005" as a recommendation, but unfortunately It was entirely as a porn movie؛ full up with nudity sex drugs nonsense! in fact after 30 minutes I couldn't continue, so I just gave up and played another one! If you looking for a horror movie even a real movie you're in the wrong spot!
