Hostel (2006)
 DESCRIPTION: Two adventurous American college buddies, Paxton and Josh, backpack through Europe eager to make quintessentially hazy travel memories with new friend Oli, an Icelander they've met along the way. Paxton and Josh are eventually lured by a fellow traveler to what's described as a nirvana for American backpackers--a particular hostel in an out-of-the-way Slovakian town stocked with Eastern European women as desperate as they are gorgeous. The two friends arrive and soon easily pair off with exotic beauties Natalya and Svetlana. In fact, too easily. Initially distracted by the good time they're having, the two Americans quickly find themselves trapped in an increasingly sinister situation that they will discover is as wide and as deep as the darkest, sickest recess of human nature itself--if they survive. Story: 3 out of 5 ACTORS QUALITY: 4 out of 5 VIOLENCE: 3 out of 5 BLOOD: 5 out of 5 GORE: 4 out of 5 GORE FX: 4 out of 5 FX: NA LOVE: 3 out of 5 THOUGHTS: FRom watching the trailer, I thought this was going to be a torture crazy movie.Boy, was I wrong.I did not like this movie..

The Last House On The Left (1972)
 DVD Description: A pair of teenage girls are headed to a rock concert for one's birthday. While trying to score marijuana in the city, the girls are kidnapped by a gang of psychotic convicts. STORY: 1 out of 5 ACTORS QUALITY: 1 out of 5 VIOLENCE: 1 out of 5 BLOOD: 1 out of 5 GORE: NA Scare Factor: NA SPECIAL EFFECTS: NA Sexual Content: 2 out of 5: rape scences FINAL THOUGHTS: Dont let the score factors stop you from seeing this movie. I seen this awhile back on VHS and just saw it on DVD and I swear they edited a lot out on the DVD. If possible check out the VHS. When I first saw it I didn't really care for it, but since the remake is coming out I had to see it again. It must of been from the quality of the VHS. Now it is actually a good movie, but like I said the DVD is edited. Watch this before seeing the remake. And from the cover, it looks like a horror movie. Its not and the house looks nothing like the one from the cover. OVERALL SCORE: 4 out of 5 Last edited by rubenmania; 03-19-2009 at 09:09 AM.

It's cool you're doing these reviews and all, but some of your assesments are rather dodgy- like you give a NA to the acting on a film because there are subtitles? WTF? Is it because you read so slow you don't have a chance to ever look at the actors?
You give a "LOVE" rating of 2 to a film because there are rape scenes? WHAT? Rape has NOTHING to do with love, dude. Last House On the Left is not a horror movie? Excuse me? Since when? Brother...

I don't get the category "LOVE". What exactly are you grading there? How much romance there is in the film or how much you personally loved it? Or something else all together?
And like NE pointed out, Last House on the Left is most certainly a horror film. If it's not to you, I'd love to know what your criteria is to be considered a horror film.

The Love factor was in earlier reviews and now recent they say Sexual Content. And to me I never considered being raped and held hostage horror. I always considered horror as a scary movie, but as i think about it, Having that done would be a horrifing expirence.
Thank you for letting me know how you feel neverending & bwind22. Last edited by rubenmania; 03-19-2009 at 07:38 AM.

House on the Edge of the Park (1980)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080503/
DVD Description: Time to party hardy. Hardly! It's more like time to bail when two psychotics gate-crash a perfectly delightful get-together and turn it into a gore-fest with a huge body count. Directed by Ruggero Deodato, House on the Edge of the Park makes no pretense -- it's an exploitation flick complete with ritualistic torture. STORY: 4 out of 5 ACTORS QUALITY: 2 out of 5 VIOLENCE: 4 out of 5 BLOOD: 2 out of 5 GORE: NA Scare Factor: 0 out of 5 SPECIAL EFFECTS: 5 out of 5 (1980) Sexual Content: 4 out of 5 FINAL THOUGHTS: Almost a duplicate of Last House On the Left. You won't be disappointed. Good storyline and the ending really sets it all up. OVERALL SCORE: 4 out of 5 (If you liked Last House on the Left, then you will enjoy this one. )

I think you should keep reviewing movies however you want. I like that they aggrevate people so much, it makes for interesting reading.
