Considering Ive yet to see Hostel, Im just adding my two cents according to the title of the thread.

I completly agree with Sadistro about 28 Days Later's alterate ending far surpassing the original, providing he means the storyboard that was never filmed. The other endings werent alot different, but that storyboard was incredible. And I hate Boyle's reason for not using it: He though it was too unbelievable. Considering the plot of the movie and the ending that he did use, I find that to be a pretty weak excuse. Could have made the whole movie alot better.

Another one is Madhouse. Neither ending is all that great, but the alternate improves it ALOT.

I love the alternate ending to 28 Days Later (not that storyboard one about transferring blood, that was just dumb). I like the alternate for Hostel, but that and the theatrical ones are both practically the same ending.

I also like the ending in the Director's Cut for Army of Darkness, that's hilarious.

"Oh no... I slept too long!"

The Ice Harvest


********spoiler**********


In the movie ending, John Cusack gets away with the money.

In the alternate ending, he dies on the side of the road.

I FORGOT ABOUT THE ARMY OF DARKNESS ONE!

hmm..
Yeah, i do like the "OH NO I SLEPT TOO LONG" - It's so "ASH" , guy can never get a break.



BUT

The showdown at the S-MART also kicked ass...possibly a little bit more.

100% COOOrrect

no way dude - if monkeys had made hostel it would have been much much better!!!!!!

imagine the pain one could inflict with a bannana peel!!!!!!!!!! that's right scream monkey boy!!

I'll need to watch Hostel again with my brain turned off. It's definately not a thinking persons movie, but it does have some decent eye candy.

I think the theatrical ending is better. he fucked that guy up good.

*Sploilers and such*

i think this movie was decent, but it definelty could have been a whole lot better. minus the first half, and make it only like 3 guys who have one room in some place and torture poeple. The plot was gay, with them getting paid and shit for it, and their was a whole lot of rooms. that was stupid. along with how everyone was connected, which was just ripped from TCM.

I like the fact that it's a business, I think that makes it more disturbing. Three guys who just like torturing people is one thing, but complete strangers coming together and forking over hundreds of thousands of dollars to torture and murder someone is fucked up.
