Cant wait to see this movie it looks very grisly and thats always good!:D

The trailer that is out now warns people that at preview showings Paramedics were called b/c I guess this movie is preety distrubing. Anybody hear about that, I know that some movies can effect some people. The Passion of the Christ for example, a lady in Wichita, KS. saw it openning day and she had a heart attack during the movie and died (I think she passed away when the Paramedics got there or at the hospital).

Sick_As_Fuck 12-23-2005 06:21 PM

Wow. Paramedics huh? I can't fuckin' wait to see this.

What did you think of Hostel??
 
Hostel comes out today and I want to see it. Is this movie worth it? What did you think of Hostel without spoiling it?? The couple reviews that I read from moviegoers were "disappointed".

Hostel
 
I was wondering if anyone went to see this movie today? I'm going sunday to see it and wanted to get your opinons. Is it really a GORE fest? Did you have to be taken out of the theater, like the commerical said had happened at previous screenings ?

RavageRitual 01-06-2006 07:18 PM

Just got back from it. And first of all, I thought this movie was absolutly amazing. Best way to start off Horror 2006. What a fuckin BANG! Gorey, but not a gore fest! Alot bloodier than other movies though. Millions of boobies though. I only counted 2 couples (4 People ) walk out of the theatre that didnt come back in. I wont spoil it, but you must see this. AMAZING!

Posher778 01-06-2006 09:17 PM

spoil it for me in a pm... theres no way in hell my parents will let me see that.

joshaube 01-06-2006 09:25 PM

Our theatre is NOT SHOWING IT. I am so pissed. We don't get ANYTHING DECENT horror-wise. No High tension, no Hostel... >_> I don't believe that many people will leave. They won't walk into to it by accident... of course. Those who see it will want to see it, horror and gore fans. Not teeny little bitches that cry at the sight of blood and faint.

AmericanManiac 01-06-2006 10:38 PM

LOL, They only movie I went to see and people walked out of was the Rejects, and I loved that shit so i' think i'm goin to fucking love this fmovire !!!! sorry i'm a lil drunk right noe !

ItsAlive75 01-06-2006 11:53 PM

Go to comingsoon.net if you want a lil' preview of the film.

The optic nerve scene makes that movie. I was laughing my ass off.

got it ;) sounds good but kinda repetitive

BH14 01-07-2006 09:52 AM

Read a lot of reviews by people and most of them were disappointed in it. Most of them bashing.... not enough gore, little suspense and over the top boobies.

Tons of gore wont do anything for me if it isnt backed up with good suspense, acting, storyline, etc. I may want to just wait for this movie to hit dvd. Now, I passed on Wolf Creek and this movie.

Hostel
 
Just wondering if anybody else wasted thier money to go and see this on opening night?

or if anybody actually liked this pathetic excuse for a movie?

Posher778 01-07-2006 07:10 PM

great job creating the what? 2000th thread on frickin hostel... why cant you just post on one of the other ones? their all the same.

XFeaRX 01-07-2006 09:03 PM

Pretty good horror flick. Original storyline. Yes there is a LOT of sex/boobies.

scottingraham 01-08-2006 05:56 AM

Just saw it and the gore and storyline is incredible.

RavageRitual 01-08-2006 06:43 AM

This movie was incredible. Do you even like horror?

filmmaker2 01-08-2006 02:51 PM

Well, this poster has ONE post to their credit currently; so, consider the source of the opinion. They don't even state that they've SEEN the movie in the first place!

not enough in my opinion:D
I thought it was a great movie.

BH14 01-08-2006 05:53 PM

Out of bordem I decided to go see this movie... I liked Cabin Fever and Tarantino liked this movie so I'll give it a shot. Its not bad but not great as say TDR or High Tension. First, I am not one bit squimish to gore or torture so this movie didnt scare me at all. The suspense wasnt like from a horror movie but rather an action movie. If you seen it, then you will know what i mean. However, the plot was original, plenty of torture (even though nothing too out of ordinary), acting was good, plenty of sex and boobs, some cheap laughs....... To me, it just felt like an action movie filled with lots of torture and some gore but still good enough to go and see it.

Its definitely worth a rent... I wont though spend 10 bucks to see it at theatre again. I give it a solid 7/10.

In a Q+A after the film, director Eli Roth said that he had the films "Wicker Man" and "Audition" in mind when he made "Hostel." Those influences really shine through. Add more than a dash of Roeg's "Don't Look Now" - as well as, of course, "Cabin Fever" - and you've got a good idea of the caliber of experience you're in store for.
Here Roth takes some all-American characters akin to those of "Cabin Fever" and sends them not to woods, but to the uber-mysterious (for Americans) landscape of Eastern Europe. As in "Cabin Fever," these cocky characters find themselves, possibly for the first time in their lives, in a situation through which their wealth and privilege can't help them navigate. To say more about the plot would give too much away, but suffice it to say that you're in for a treat... as with Miike's "Audition," this film sets you up for a sucker punch... even though you know you're in for some psychological terror, the moment both films reveal themselves to be thrillers is quite a shock.
The version I saw was chock-full of transgressive sex and violence that, while extreme (especially by U.S. standards), was also very integral to the viewing experience. Roth mentioned, with some trepidation, that he was just about to take his film to the rating board. It's probably too much to ask, but it would be extremely brave of his distributor (Screen Gems, I think) to release the film uncut as an NC-17. In any case, I'm extremely excited to see this film again both in the theater and on DVD, both for enjoyment and as a case study in how much a film of this nature will change from its first cut to the theater and then again to home video.

Freddy vs. Jason vs. Hostel?
 
Like, OMG, what if they made Freddy vs. Jason...VS. HOSTEL?!!?!?!1oneslashone That would totally be the kewlest thing evar!

thepsychicfetus 01-09-2006 04:24 PM

....i must say i laughed so hard when the japanese girl threw herself in front of the train and also when the children killed those two guys and crushed their skulls all for a bag of candy. haha.

Hostel...
 
...sucks.

majorbludd 01-18-2006 07:37 PM

hostel question....
 
i dunno if anybody caught this....during the scene in hostel when the lame kid is gettin laid and we're lookin' at the brunette from his point of view, the song thats playin' sounds exactly like the siren song from WICKER MAN 'cept it's like a trance club version....the only reason I thought it might be remotely possible that eli roth would use the siren song is cuz he paid homage to david hess' "road leads to nowhere" from last house on the left in CABIN FEVER....am i dorkus or did anybody who seen both hostel and wickerman catch that?

also the scene in cabin fever where the kid from boy meets world has his hand goin under the blanket into that chicks panties was totally his play on creepshow 2's raft scene.

The Mothman 01-19-2006 10:00 AM

The more horror movies i watch, the more i start to notice little things like this. Burial Ground had quite a few. The zombie eyeball scene was totally ripped off, except it was with glass into the side of the face, but it was shot in the same style that it was in zombie.

Briancalled 01-27-2006 12:46 PM

"How Do" - to Majorbludd
 
I noticed the Wicker Man song in Hostel too. In Wicker Man, that's the scene where Britt Eckland sings topless then it cuts to a body-double for the full-body rear shots (doh!). Very memorable anyway.

I looked for the song in the credits of Hostel and it was there. It's called "How Do," though I have since forgotten who wrote it. I don't know anything about its inclusion in this movie except that the re-mix makes for nice trivia. It was cool to hear it.

lionels_mother 03-26-2006 11:40 AM

I went to the first showing of this movie on friday there. I thought it was a fantastic film with some disturbing and well-crafted scenes.

I particularly liked the scene when the hero is on the top floor of the building and is talking to the guy with the gun.

I give this movie 8.5/10

angel_tears 03-26-2006 02:56 PM

i reallllly want to see it!
my friends brother saw it and wouldnt tell me anything about it because he said it was too scary to talk about.. damn..

Hostel
 
I know theres been a few posts on this already but i just got my Region 1 copy at the weekend. Loved this film. Last nite on tv there was a programme about SNUFF films & Eli Roth was talking about the inspiration for Hostel he said something about a website in Thailand ( did'nt catch it all the wife was nagging ) does anyone know the backstory to this film?

newb 04-19-2006 10:15 AM

This movie was much better than i expected. Interview with Eli Roth can be found here----> http://www.moviehole.net/interviews/..._eli_roth.html

Bunman 04-19-2006 10:31 AM

I was very dissappointed by the film - There was so much hype about it and in my opinion, didn't deliver the goods. There were a couple of gory scenes in it but for the length of time I had to wait for them I expected something much better.

Abominus 04-19-2006 06:53 PM

Just saw it today. I loved it! I would have liked to see Miike with a slightly larger roll. No spoiler here.
