it wasnt sick at all! it was all rather standard.... i had high hopes becuase cabin fever was so good. one of my mates was really disturbed by it but then he normally watches fuzzy movies hahaha.
not holding out too much hope for hostel 2. it will certianly gain the studio a shit load of money.

Was I imagining things or was one of the torturers 'Saw' in the 'Saw' films?
I think being a bloke helps in enjoying this film.. as it has plenty of sex and violence...
And Im sure some girls like that too.
I wouldnt goto cinema to see it.. but get a few mates round your house and its fine.
First half of the film is a euro-trip style jaunt with a couple of americans getting high and trying to get laid.. As a bloke I can appreciate this scenario and the nekkid chicks.. so I didnt mind this part of the film.
Then things start getting nasty.. If you put yourself in their shoes it really does make you think.. Its a pretty f*cked up situation.
Then the revenge part kicks in which I found very satisfying.. I dont care how unrealistic it may have been for all these ppl to conveniantly be around.. I wanted their blood! And I certainly got it!
As I said before.. I rate this movie as 'good' and in fact Im watching it again tonight.

After watching it for the second time.. a couple of things I spotted...
When they are in amsterdam outside the brothel.. josh says something along the lines of.. 'I dont agree with someone paying to go into a room and do anything they want to a woman'
This of course is a direct reference to the ppl that pay to do anything they want to the ppl in the torture house.
When they are in the slovak hostel lobby looking for Oli.. Baxton sees a film on the tv with a foreign dialogue and says 'How are we supposed to understand whats going on with no subtitles?.. thats gay.'
This is in reference to all the foreign language spoken in this film that ... has no subtitles.
Oh and in case you didnt spot him.. Quentin Tarantino was in this film.. when Baxton is looking for Josh and finRAB the 2 girls in a bar.. they talk about the 'exhibit' and the bloke sitting across from them who says 1 line is... QT.

I thought that guy in the bar looked familiar. However, it looked nothing like Quentin
What a good make-up job!

Did you notice that one of the songs is a remix of a song from the Wicker Man? I find that interesting because the Wicker Man is also about a
Am I reaching here or did that occur to anyone else?
Gotta say I liked this film. Better than Wolf Creek where the characters doing stupid things was just too frustrating.
I found some of it quite darkly comic, like the scene where the guy is trying to torture "our hero" and he slips up and chops his own leg off. It was meant to be a bit silly and slapstic wasn't it? Or am I just a bit sick?
It was interesting that the torturer himself was as scared and nervous as the guy he was ostensibly supposed to be terrorising.
The first half was amusing. Supposed to be a pisstake of the American view of Europe? As a funland of sex and drugs and loose women?
The whole theme was interesting. More interesting than just another "weird psycho terrorises innocents". I suppose it was about modern entertainments obsession with violence and how these guys were willing to pay to partake in a real life version themselves. Or perhaps its a satire about that old argument that violent images lead to people becoming violent themselves. Or the cheapness of life in depressed countries. (costs more to kill and American than a European!). Plenty to ponder on anyway.
I think you sick puppies judging it only by the amount of gore and calling for more gore are being a bit harsh on the film. Gore in itself isnt scary or entertaining, in my opinion. The scariest bit for me was when you could see only the guy trapped in the chair and the torturer goes behind camera....then you hear the chainsaw revving up...its the expectation of the violence that scares me, not the gorey realisation of it.
Interesting how the good guy himself becomes at the end just another of the torturers, perhaps no better than them. He also enRAB up torturing a guy in a cubicle!
"I'm goin old school" heehee that line made me laugh.
small isolated town where everyone is not what they seem and they are all in on a secret plan to dupe outsiders.
