Once again, I'll explain the reason that I hated it so much. In order for a movie (especially a horror movie, it can be argued) to make a personal connection with the audience, we must be able to empathize with the characters. This was impossible with the repellent Ugly American stereotypes Hostel presented us with. Before the halfway point, I wanted all of those fuckers to die. If this was actually Roth's intention, I'd say he pulled it off admirably. Somehow though, I don't think it was.
