Looking at the rest of the films with 2 votes, there are some good ones there. However, the more I think about it, the more I'm actually considering voting for Hostel. I know that opinions vary on the film, but you've got to admit, that film's name comes up in a lot of horror conversations. If you were to ask many casual horror fans to name 5 horror films from the 2000s, that film might actually get more mentions than any other. Also, the first time I saw it, I was utterly terrified by the concept. I had trouble shaking it for several days, and couldn't help talking about it, even with people that had very little interest in the conversation. Even if you don't like the film, it's hard to deny that there are some unique concepts in it, like the gang of children that will spare your life for candy.

I'd back Hostel. I feel it was very important in getting horror back on track. It definitely influenced, along with Saw, the torture porn craze and its actually a pretty disturbing film IMO. I really liked it when it first came out. I think the only reason it gets bad remarks is actually because of its sub par sequels.
