Glad I found a like mind..

Exactly. I found the characters more likeable and was therefore more drawn into the movie, making it more suspenseful for me and caught myself wincing at certain torture scenes which I found 10 times more gruesome than Hostel (if that's all people are looking for in a film)... just overall the better movie imo, and this coming from a guy who made such movies like Blue Crush and Into the Blue.
Anyhoo... Stardust and Dead Silence (kinda).
