Question Did anyone actually like Wolf Creek and Hostel?

I can't think of any other films where I've checked my watch so many times. There are only so many times you can show that the heros are alone, and still alone, and still alone and cut off from the rest of the world, and still alone and cut off from the rest of the world with no chance of help, and still alone and cut off with no chance of help not for a long time, and still etc etc... before you start wondering if the seat you're sitting on would fit down the person that dragged you to see the film's throat... or perhaps somewhere else.
I love horror and feed off the suspense but any sense of foreboding had long since turned to boredom. I know it's a horror film so I DO know there will be guts and gore. If I have to wait to have any slight attempt to actually scare or shock me till the last 10 minutes of a film, even if they then try to cram as much in as they can, I'm already so bored it has no impact. And to be honest the guts and gore thing wasn't great for me anyway. We see worse on the news and in the papers.
But anyway, rant now spent, DID anyone enjoy these films?
