Turistas
 
Just got back from this movie and I got 1 word for ya....yawn. I was falling asleep during this garbage. It was VERY slow moving and when you thought the action was finally here it wasnt. And when you keep thinking to yourself something has got to happen it doesnt and before you know it, its over. I thought this was going to be a Hostel type movie with torure scenes and a load of gore ummm ya. The gore factor was about .1./10, not gore at all. This has is easily one of the dumbest movies I have ever seen, very disappointing. I knew it was going to suck but not this bad.

yeah i heard a really bad review on this one too.

looks like what i predicted came even sooner than i thought ..
ride the grindhouse bandwagon - only water it down for the kiddies.

Did a little mini-project for school last week about upcoming movies...read the synopsis for this one and just sort of shook my head. More Hostel-inspired garbage from the sounds of things.

makemebad 12-03-2006 01:28 PM

yeah, I know this is going to be bad

I will watch it on DVD giving it the benefit of the dout

tcardenas 12-03-2006 03:27 PM

thats what i do. id much rather pay $1.70 to see a shitty movie than $7.00 to go to the theater and see a shitty movie.

Was Hostel really successful enough in the box office to spawn clones? Maybe that doesn't matter anymore.

tcardenas 12-04-2006 04:19 AM

it doesnt matter if the movie is really successful or not. movies will spawn clones and sequels and shit even if they arent good. hostel is an example of that.

Hostel did extremely well in the box office, grossing almost $50million domestic alone.

That's sad.

tcardenas 12-04-2006 03:10 PM

people will pay money to see just about anything. look at titanic, made so much money and not even that great of a movie..

Spec7ral 12-04-2006 03:55 PM

any movie where leonardo dicrappyhoe dies at the end is pretty 1337 in my books.

Geeeze! Way to spoil the ending!

This movie is nothing like Hostel, what are yall talking about. The onlything similiar is people go on a vacation. They dont get kidnapped and they dont get tortured. There is 1 scene but the chick is on medicine so she doesnt feel any pain. Its not a torure scene in anyway, the guy takes out her kidney. He doesnt torture her and she doesnt feel it anyway so...This is in no way like Hostel. I thought it was going to be but its not at all.

My bad, it didnt even occur to me what I was doing.

tcardenas 12-05-2006 05:59 PM

its okay, i probably wouldnt have seen the movie anyways, so it didnt ruin anything for me.

Vodstok 12-06-2006 04:54 AM

I agree that there should have been a spoiler warning (for shame, shady... tsk tsk.)

BUT I would have read it anyway, because i was never interested in it to begin with, and NO ONE liked it so far....

I havent seen it, but they certainly advertise it as being like Hostel.

Yeah, exactely. I thought that it was going to be a watered down version of a grindhouse flick, but if there's no torture its even milder than I thought.

Phalanx 12-09-2006 06:47 PM

I read a comic of the same name "inspired" by this film.
Sort of like a cheap twilight zone version of fucked up things
that can happen to tourists?
I wouldn't even bother seeing this urban legend inspired shit.
