I understood the "Ugly American" theme in it, but it really didnt do it for me. The beginning was frustrating, and it turned out to be another "you can only be in danger if you are this stupid"... Basically why i dont care for a lot of other horror movies...
I prefer movies where the main characters stumble upon the horror, not through being stupid, but because they were at the wrong place at the wrong time. The Hills Have eyes, Wrong turn, Alien, George Rmoero's Dead movies, Se7en, so on... the characters are thrust into horrific situations because they are either unlucky, or they were lied to.
In Hostel, the victims were just dumb. To me, its not horror if you think the characters got what was coming to them.
