Hostel

Eli Roth, director of Cabin Fever can talk the talk, but can he walk the walk, let's start with Cabin Fever, what's the best way to describe it? Average, yet people where excited to see it, but are many people actually a fan of the movie? Hostel, is Eli Roth's second movie and his mouth flapped more and more and how much of a mind fuck the movie would be, but the film with the tag Quentin Tarantino presents where Eli Roth finally learns to walk the walk.

The answer, I've got to say is NO. The film for the first part seems like the movie Eurotrip- obnixious Yanks abroad in Europe- trying to be funny and never been funny, the film takes the From Dusk Till Dawn approach by going all out the window the second half, the boys are told of an Hostel, that's full of women who are pretty much up for it.

Let's talk about the torture scenes, you must have heard about them, or seen the tantilizing glimpses on any number of the trailers- Yes, they are squemish (as is a bit at the end of the movie), but they come too little too late, the interest as already severely wained in the movie. Japanese directing maestro Takeshi Miike as a small role, it's recommend you check out some of his movies instead (if you already haven't).

The film is not that good, moments of gore and attempted humour never sit well together, the film is probably a lesser movie then Cabin Fever. Watch National Lampoon's European Vacation and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre straight after each other instead.
