Did anyone actually like Wolf Creek and Hostel?
I can't think of any other films where I've checked my watch so many times. There are only so many times you can show that the heros are alone, and still alone, and still alone and cut off from the rest of the world, and still alone and cut off from the rest of the world with no chance of help, and still alone and cut off with no chance of help not for a long time, and still etc etc... before you start wondering if the seat you're sitting on would fit down the person that dragged you to see the film's throat... or perhaps somewhere else.
I love horror and feed off the suspense but any sense of foreboding had long since turned to boredom. I know it's a horror film so I DO know there will be guts and gore. If I have to wait to have any slight attempt to actually scare or shock me till the last 10 minutes of a film, even if they then try to cram as much in as they can, I'm already so bored it has no impact. And to be honest the guts and gore thing wasn't great for me anyway. We see worse on the news and in the papers. But anyway, rant now spent, DID anyone enjoy these films?

I liked Wolf Creek a lot. It reminded me of a modern day Texas chainsaw Massacre or something along those lines with it's gritty feel.
Hostel seemed like too much of a Saw knockoff for me to really get in to, but the scene in the locker room where he's talking to the dude, that dialogue is awesome & I'd be willing to bet anything Tarantino wrote it.

I shall expand on this later, but the short answer:
Wolf Creek was pretty good. Hostel sucked.

I did like Wolf Creek. It was nothing groundbreaking by any means, but it wasn't a bad film. The villain was definitely the most memorable part of the film.
Hostel, on the other hand... To put it mildly, this movie wasn't too good. I don't think I've ever seen such a repellent cast of characters. This was a major step back for Eli Roth, for sure.

Haven't watched Wolf Creek yet.
Hostel wasn't all it was cracked up to be.

Wolf Creek=good. i thought it was pretty creepy.
Hostel=pretty bad. second half was decent though. but the whole plot turned out to be pretty gay.

Wolf Creek, Not bad until the stupid disclaimer at the end. you go through the whole thing thinking "How the hell did anyone know all of this happened?" only to get to the end and know, it's prbably a bunch of bullshit that some guy made up to cover for the fact that he probably killed 2 girls.
Hostel... promised gut wrenching torture, but more or less pusse dout with most of it. it was inspiring from the viewpoint of "Good idea, but i could do SO much better..." and Holy shit.. Someone get Eli Roth a girl who will actually fuck him, for christ's sake... It is verty akward to sit through a movie like that with your wife.. tooo Many tits, i know this is me, but jesus christ.. Maybe when i was single i could have accepted it, but i wanted brutal torture and instead i got 45 minutes of jackoff material leading to some special effects.

I would have to say the same about these movies. Hostel was gay.
