cant believe tarentino put his mark on this complete piece of garbage.
the movie starts out like a frat boy party run amok where friends visit another country and all they want to do is get laid. the ensuing 45 minutes is nothing but glorified t&a which has zero to do with the plot line itself. i was suprised that they allowed an r rating on this and gave the gacy film an x due to violence when hostel is nothing but soft core porn for those 45 minutes. my advice? dont bring a date or rent it on dvd to watch with one, she wont be impressed.
that being said when the movie FINALLY does pick up its fairly lame. since theres only one guy left *his friends disappeared* he goes on a search for them which brings him to a broken down warehouse type deal where the people inside have paid to kill unsuspecting travellers in whatever way they choose. while this might sound like fun and games, its really quite boring. he gets caught, escapes and has to save somebody else, a girl of course, who then jumps in front of a train, which is admittedly, the only cool part in the whole film.
dont buy it. dont watch it. and for the love of whatever diety you choose just walk on by this rubbish without giving it a second glance.
