To watch "Hostel"?

[JosephineCD]

Got it on our HD hooked up to the TV. How violent/gory is it? I like horror films but this one has the reputation of being really bad.

I'm a massive wimp, had nightmares when I saw psycho but I was fine with hostel. It has some grim moments but none of the psychological aspect to make it scarey.

About SAW level.

Are you being unreasonable?

To watch a film that is commercially available?

No.

You are not being unreasonable to watch a film that it is legal to watch and you have acquired legal.

Does that help?

It's horrible! Made me wonder how it's probably true to life somewhere too

It's mindless bollocks. It's not worth it.

It's really, really unpleasant; one of the worst I've seen.

That said, I also think it's a very interesting and well-made film, not just mindless schlock, so if you can get past the violence it really is worth seeing.

I found this really horrid, and my tolerance level is about medium. It's pretty gory.

I'm a massive horror fan, massive, but Hostel was one film that I actually nearly brought my lunch up whilst watching.

I wish I could un-watch it.

It was one sick fucker who thought up that story

It's worse than saw in m opinion...more gore probably the sickest film Ive seen.

Really enjoyed it. I found the premise of it just realistic enough to make it not totally mindless horror. Its belieavable...

I think its because it so believable (ignoring the shite acting) that makes it so revolting.

I quite liked it, I even liked the sequel.

What thenightsky said!

I am also a huge horror fan but this is different and not in good way! Found it really nasty to watch.

It's dull dull dull. It's aimed very much at young teenage boys who still think nudity is naughty/shocking.

lots of tits. Very dull. Some horrible scenes of violence. No interesting bits.
I watched it the 1st time and skipped the entire start it was so dull.

Wolf creek is nasty. :)

Noooo! I saw 10 mins and am still really disturbed and have regular flashbacks. Horrible horrible horrible!

Hi, we've moved this into Movie Reviews. Thanks.

My husband is from Slovakia and the Slovaks resent and loath this film for it's horrendous portrayal of their country. It caused uproar and a lot of bad taste as it was actually filmed in The Czech Republic too..
I've never watched it and never will - apparently a friend said it was some sort of specific genre too I can't recall the name but think there are gross acts of sexual violence aswell as others appear to have commented..
Grim and really wouldn't bother.

HappyJoyful, is the genre term you're on about exploitation or 'Grindhouse'?

I thought Hostel was an ok film (better than Cabin Fever or the Hostel sequels), I wouldn't call it a horror film, I like most of the 'plotation' films...so I have a very very cack idea of what a decent film is!

What did you think of the film OP?
