Was 'Hostel' a good movie?
 

Anyone see it?
Worth renting? Was it super super gorey?

No, it was a shitty movie. Don't waste your time.

Bad acting, no suspense, ridiculous plot and ending.

I didn't watched and it is not in my plans doing so.

How much does it cost you to rent? :D


It wasnt that bad of a movie.. The first one is much better than the second

its like soft core porn.

It's ok to watch if you have some spare time.

I liked it.

I had a similar experience at a Holiday Inn once which is why I don't travel cheap anymore.

I liked it. I haven't seen the "sequel" though.

Horrible movie. First 40 mins it follows some guys around and you see quite a bit of titties. After that it's a boring non-suspenseful movie with very little blood. Is it gorey? No. The Final Destination movies are more gorey than Hostel, no lie.

i liked it, then 2nd movie sucked

but the first was pretty good

its one of those "must-seen" flicks :)

Lots of hot girls and tits

I thought it was great

Don't get me wrong, although stolen, the idea of the movie itself was pretty cool. It was just a horrible movie. As for the second, it's basically the same as the first. Instead of following guys, it follows girls. Instead of soft-core porn in the first forty minutes, the girls basically walk around checking stuff out.

Its a great movie!
You have to have some intelligence though to be able to appreciate it.

I thought it was worth watching. If you're a fan of horror movies then watch it, definitely.

Why go by other people's assessment?

It´s a shitty movie IMO.
It´s just meant to gross out people, but to me it was like watching some freddy krueger movie or something.

It's a cool movie, I liked "Hostel 2" a lot more...

i agree, the only reason why this trainwreck of a cheap ass b movie got so much hype is because the name tarantino is somehow connected to it.

Ive only seen hostel part 1 and its an extremely bad movie, i hear anyone say hostel 2 sucks more than 1, i didnt even know that was possible hehe

1) Yes I have seen it
2) sure it's worth the $3.00 to rent.
3) Yes it was super super gorey.

Now this is all personal opinion if you asked Rob Zombie he'd tell you something else.. *shrug*

I also don't know how seriously you take a movie like Hostel..

It's obviously not a "good" movie that will inspire you and change your life :P

As far as horror movies go I've definitely seen worse.

I still say it's worth watching at least once.

i had to close my eyes several times

They had gore filmed and ready to go, but cut it all out, which is really sad. Extended edition has all those deleted scenes as well as the documentary of how it was filmed, which is more gory than the film itself.

Now this is a horror flick worth seeing...

some of you sound like you might prefer it to Hostel.

good movie, 2nd one sucked tho

2nd one shouldve never been made

The best horror movie I watched lately is "El Orfanato". I think it´s called The Orphanage in english.
It´s a spanish film. Look it up, it´s very good.

I dont think Hostel qualifies as horror.

I'll probably only watch this movie if there's nothing better on TV and I'm too lazy to do anything else.

If Tarantino didn't toss his name some where on this movie, no one would have even heard about it. Sadly, this movie was also referred to as "the Saw killer". Was that some sort of horrible joke or what? Everyone I know didn't enjoy this movie. Some were even left speechless. No, not in a good way. They couldn't believe a movie could be so bad. Here, lets look at some things.

Why wouldn't anyone want to see a sequel for Hostel even though the original did decent in theaters? Was it because a ton of people felt they got ripped off when they watched the original? I think so.

Now, I'm not picking at anyone. If you like this movie, good. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I, myself, could not find any joy/thrill in watching either of the Hostel movies.

Plain and simple. If you're curious about a movie, you should see it. You can't rely on others opinions about it. Everyone has varying opinions and tastes. By listening to them, you may be missing out on something. Just think, you could potentially enjoy this movie and kick yourself in the ass for waiting so long to watch it. Hell, you may even find the need to own it on DVD. Either way, the decision is your's. If you enjoy it, I'm glad. I'm just saying that I didn't enjoy it.

:2 cents:

I liked it.

It's not a slasher film nor is it a generic horror film that involves supernatural phenom (ex. the dead coming back to life to kill you). Knowing that, you'll probably enjoy it.

If the first is the better one....I can't imagine how bad is the second - We are talking about a brand new level of shitty movies :)
...because the first was the worst movie I ever saw in my life.

My friends tell me it was good. I still haven't seen it.

Was 'Road House' a good movie?

It's so n so movie, worth to watch

You betcha.

"Whoa. Patrick Swaze playing a redneck? I GOTTA GET ME SOME OF THIS!"

shitty movie..

Yes and if you're a Terry Funk fan you will love this movie. It's a slobber knocker! :1orglaugh

Horrible movie. I was completely disgusted with myself for sitting through that whole movie. I felt a kind of dirty that I couldn't shower long enough to feel clean.

i liked it. especially when he cuts the guys achilles tendons and he tries to get up and walk away. that was the best part.

if you're looking for great acting and a hot plot id look for something else.

I liked both Hostel 1 and Hostel 2.

Come on, what are you guys really looking for in a slasher movie? It was pretty unique, funny, and held my attention all the way through, plus had plenty of cringe-factor.

shrug.
