Hostal. Whatever sick fuck classifies that as entertainment needs there head examined.
Yeah, I LIKE horror movies, but this just felt like the ultimate in nasty, voyeuristic crap, purely created to show people being tortured and killed.
There was so little in plot, they had to crowbar about an hour in it at the start just about tits it seemed to me.
Now I'm not saying movies like Friday the 13th or other stuff like Wrong Turn had amazing plots or depth, but you felt like 'oh will they get away, how will they die', whereas with Hostel you get a woman tied to a chair and a guy with a blowtorch and you know what's going to happen. As for Hostel 2, it was the first one remade with women in, which to me just made it worse, as it seemed to be an excuse to get them naked while they were being butchered.
Then you look at Saw, which it's usually bundled in with, in the 'torture porn' category and the Saw series just excels in every department, in comparison.
I'm sure I've seen more shocking and disturbing movies, but that for me was the most disturbing terms of the direction movies have taken to earn a buck.
EDIT : Yet...I watched the sequel? I am hopelessly optimistic maybe or just really thick? No, don't answer that one!
