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

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.
