I absolutely loved this movie. I didn't like the fact they put quentin tarrantino's name on it, even though he had naff all to do with the production of this movie. Same with hero and sin city I guess.

However, that being said I thought Eli Roth did a brilliant job. Something different, not a remake or sequel of any kind, and I find that quite refreshingly entertaining in this day and age.

I enjoyed Cabin Fever much more

I enjoyed both, I went to see cabin fever at the cinema and so I probably got a lot more out of that movie. Whether you like a film or not can sometimes just depend on the surroundings and the mood you're in at the time. Different films affect different people in different ways, and that's the beauty of film I guess. I would have enjoyed hostel a lot more if I'd not have heard anything about it, I almost knew what to expect even though it was me who brought it into work for people to see! This was before I'd even watched it myself, I told my friend it was about a couple of back-packers in europe that get lost. Well, that's a little bit vague to say the least, considering the rest of the tale!

Yeah I think I would of enjoyed it more if I didn't know every scene that happenend.

I couldn't get away from the people that kept talking about it

Yeah, if only I'd have watched it first. Anyway, I've got this one called BTK Killer, supposed to be based on true events about a serial killer in america. You see that's as indepth as it comes when I describe a movie!! I might watch and post back a review later, on a new thread of course.

i thought it was shit.
there my 2 cents.

Agreed

Yeah, same here. I didn't enjoy Hostel, but more because it didn't appeal to me than that it was a bad movie. I definitely think the gore factor was overhyped. I'm with Tarcher80 on that, it was violent but not gory.
