CRITIC REVIEWS
Lew Irwin
Critics, who are by and large rarely horror-movie fans, are predictably hostile towards Hostel, the new horror film from Eli Roth (Cabin Fever). Nathan Lee in the New York Times comments that the film is one of the most misogynistic films ever made. Bob Strauss in the Los Angeles Daily News pays it this left-handed compliment: It all adds up to superior sick entertainment. Wesley Morris in the Boston Globe has a warning about the use of the Quentin Tarantino presents banner over the film. Hostel, he writes, is being sold as a Quentin Tarantino presentation, which seems a little disingenuous, even though it's true. Viewers expecting Tarantino's visual wit and cinematic verve are bound to feel rooked by Roth's gallows schlock. And Matt Pais in the Chicago Tribune: has this suggestion: Looking to save money on a dinner-and-a-movie date? Catch an early flick and kiss your appetites goodbye.

Absolutely a horrible movie!I love horror films and this film was not scary in the least.I was hoping for a film that would surprise and scare.This film was predictable and boring.It's director fell in love with the "torture" element in the movie and forgot to make it scary or suspensful.If you are looking for a good movie similar in content, see SAW!It is fantastic!SAW II not so much, but still 100% better than this horribly boring film!
