This movie was incredible. Do you even like horror?

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!

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

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

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.
