liked wolf creek a lot for its claustrophobic helpless atmosphere. liked hostel for its over the top humourous violence. don't know if the director would be happy that i enjoyed it on a comedy level

i liked hostel! that was a pretty fucked up but yet great movie!


i didn't know they called a hotel that though:o

There is a slight difference between Hostels and Hotels. In a hotel, you rent a room. In a hostel, you rent a spot to sleep, but you might be on the bottom bunk with a total stranger on the top bunk and two other total strangers in the other bunk bed right next to yours. You don't usually get your own room and the privacy is very minimal, but staying at hostels is waaaaay cheaper than staying at hotels.

wolf creek was better me thinks....hostel is good in retrospect.....but i was slightly disapointed whilst watching it, the eye bit was good tho. i cared more about the people in wolf creek but i wouldnt rush out and buy other on dvd.

I thought Wolf Creek was okay. I have no need to run out and buy it, but it was worth the rental. On the other hand, I thought Hostel was terrible. Overhyped, fairly boring, and just all around pointless.

Do you know how many times I checked my watch reading that nonsense ?
I enjoyed Hostel, and Wolf Creek was "OK" nothing great except the "Head on a Stick"

I don't "not like" many movies...these two are on the no good list for me though.

I didn't care for Hostel. The characters were so damn annoying. Never did care for them. But the thing with the feet grossed me out...

lovecraft, your comment made me think of something. I think the main reason I liked Wolf Creek better than Hostel was that it did a better job of making me care about the characters. In my opinion, a horror film that doesn't elicit feelings of sympathy for the main characters is not going to work.

On the top "Even scarieir movie moments"...they had Hostel at #1...load of bull.
I have figured out though that whichever actor, writer, director...etc...they can get to be on that show...they are obligated to use parts of thier movie...thus Open Water being in the top 10-the two bobbing shark bait actors...def enjoyed the version of this that Bruce Campbell did last year.

I loved Wolf Creek.
I thought Hostel was a lazy attempt at an interesting concept.

I enjoyed Wolf Creek. I really like the killer. He was so charming.
Hostel was okay, it had some really nice parts and I liked the story, i just didnt care for how it was done.

exactly! hit the dumb blonde cheerleader on the head!

Like most people here...
I liked Wolf Creek.
I didn't like Hostel.

and i always felt like hostel looked like it was going to be so much better than it was.........i still feel cheated

I enjoyed em both and can't see anythink like sew in hostal at all, I just like the brutalness in hostal and thank god there was no twist in it like every film these days just streaght dont give a fuck killings....

I liked both....Wolf Creek is a little slow at first, but turns into a creepy movie. I thought Hostel was cheesy but super violent. It has some intense torture scenes ...I really liked it. I'm surprised more people on this site didn't like it.

[SPOILER ALERT]



To be honist I though they were both crap.

Hostel was just random gore and was boring and the characters seemed so bland.

Wolf creet made you sleep for the first half of the movie. Then a random happy chap comes along and kills them all. I just don't understand why hes killin' them? It seems he must be some guy who likes killing peopel I suppose. But I wanted him to use that screw driver on the girl he tied up but he didnt :(

Oh and look at the part were he shoots tha car tyre and keep replaying it and you will se the car turns on its side then suddenley spins all the way round. This is just lazy editing and then the car has no scratches or anything. It is pretty poor but seriusly. Isn't it intense and the best line "Thats not a knife, this, this is a knife" and then "dont worry its not gonna kill you, its just a cut" And here fingers are chopped of :D

Me and my mate watched it and my mate is a complete wuss. He had nightmares over FINAL DESTINATION 3 ... hahahaha

Anyway, he thought it was really scary but, zzz BORING!


Anyway thats what my views are, who agrees with me? :confused:

no one gonan reply?

Wolf Creek was very good, slowly built up a relationship with the chararcters and the psycho was the sort of bloke you could enjoy a pint with down the local boozer.

Hostel was ok but it relied on the fact that people were being tortured as the shock component, at no time did I feel any sort of sympathy for the wankers being tortured or was any effort put into building up some tension.

did anyone actually like wolf creek and hostel
 

I haven't seen either one yet, but wolf creek has been of starz last nite
and it was okay from the short time that I watched it.

Exactly! No tension, no growing dread, and no concern for the welfare of the main characters. As bad as Cabin Fever was, I liked it more than this mess.

True!

Cabin fever was betetr than both!
Hostel was a pile of crap thats the biggest thing that hit mean, it was so over rated.

SPOLIER!

And on Wolf creet would someone reply to me about when he shoots the car wheel of the car and then it tumbles upside down but then it suddenly has another bolt from now were at rights its self, please look at that area, its so dodgy. I want to write a letter ot the director about it and how they should have redone it cause it looks so fake!

Anyone agree?

I loved Wolf Creek and hated Hostel. And 'hate' is not too strong a word either. Fantastic concept, terrible execution.

I really liked WOLF CREEK. I liked the dept of the charcters and the dialog not to mention that I felt that the villian was as good a villian as I have seen in quite a while. It also seemed like somthing that could have been a real serial killer case not only in the way the script was layed out and felt but also it just pulled me into the scenes and made me want to protect the girls and kill the sick fuck myself. Really good movie.

HOSTEL was plain and simply flat out lame!!

IMO, Wolf Creek didn't have a lot to offer, but it was very different from typical horror movies so I had to give it a lot of props. I especially was pretty surprised with the ending...just didn't expect it to end in that kind of a way.

Hostel wasn't bad. Though, I expected a bit more but the storyline behind it was terrific.

They werent dat Gud. I thawt they wuld off been a lot better

I quite liked wolf creek. Reminded me a little of TCM, probably just due to it being the australian outback.

I haven't seen hostel. Just having QTs name on the front put me off.

i agree. similar atmosphere to TCM. and a really good bad guy, like TCM. the hostel, on the other hand, was described as a splatter version of american pie and i can see where they're coming from. strange how some films make you want the bad guy to get his trash taken out and others make you want the victims to get whats coming to them. i think these two films are examples of both types. definitely thought wolf creeks baddie was top notch:D

i know were i check my watch....
 

the grudge and bad news bears talk about rude and boring.

the original grudge gets a thumbs up but sarah michelles bad japanese gets a thumbs down....anyone seen the piss take out of her in scary movie four?

Wolf creek was pretty god not the best movie ive ever seen but it was good. The last 30 minutes of hostel were great!:confused:

Yeh Hostel ended up pretty cool. But fuck.... weren't they some of the most unlikeable characters ever! KILL THEM :)

I watched Wolf Creek on the Starz channel a few weeks ago.I thought it was a good movie(alot better than Hostel anyway).

I havn't watched hostel yet but I've seen wolf creek and I didn't care too much for it really. I Have Hostel, just need to get around to watching it.

They where both good, I should watch them both again

ummmm...
 

hostel fucking blows!





wolf creek wasn't bad though.

i didn't like them that much but i would say Hostel was better in the last half hour of movie,

i didn't like wolf creek at all

did anyone die in that movie?

hostel wasnt that good. wolf creek wasnt that good. overall, both movies were not good. i rented both from work and was disappointed. i even told our video manager that. she didnt care too much.

I loved Wolf Creek. Everybody said it was slow, silly, etc, but I dug it. Have not seen Hostel...
