My problem with Hostel is that I really wanted some of that "too much gore" at least SOMEWHERE in the first 45 minutes (no one even tripped, got a paper cut, got poked in the eye or stubbed a toe:rolleyes: )...And, as far as I'm concerned, the film NEEDED it...
Some of it WAS needed. When I mean the "unneeded", I mean the gore in it that did nothing either way to improve the film or not.

Example:
When it shows blood all over the floor with no apparent reason for it being there. Just a huge puddle of blood, but no ones been killed there.

The gore in Hostel just didn't feel right for some reason. It was different than other gore films. It just felt out of place in that paticular title for some reason. And maybe it's just because the over amount of nudity in it.

I'm pretty sure that was to show that lots of people HAD been killed there...

Well...THAT was just retarded...Completely unnecessary...And, I really feel that if they hadn't wasted so much time with the soft-core porn, they could have used THAT time for more gore...I felt like it was two different movies, and I liked the second one a lot, but hated the first one...That's just me :)

Galaxy of Terror - 1981, is the one you are looking for...

Galaxy of Terror - 1981

The gurl was afraid of slugs, and is devoured by a giant slug which doubles as a lover...

The nudity really downgraded the film IMO. That's why the gore seemed pointless I think. It was porno with blood. Not that that's a bad thing *smirks showing teeth*, but the gore paired with the porn just doesn't work.

If you absolutely need a newer film, and can't appreciate the classics, I found The Blair Witch project pretty terrifying. A hell of a film.
