Hostel (2005)
3 backpackers are in Amsterdam where they get locked out of their youth hostel.

I haven't seen this in over 15 years and forgot pretty much all of it so it was like watching it for the first time. A gross and unpleasant time full of unlikable immature characters. Speaking of immature this is so full of boobies it is blinding and impossible to full on hate it, the Roger Ebert curse. The MPAA ratings board is a total joke, how was this released without any cuts and get an R lmao

Sometimes it's really comforting to curl up in a blanket, get some hot chocolate and some crackers and quietly sit and cringe your way through a movie.

No matter how much Eli Roth tries to convince himself that he makes movies with messages, and something serious to say about prejudice and racism, all he does is make trashy, torture-porn, sexploitation flicks. Nice try, Mr. Roth.

If you watch this and you enjoy it you deserve to be in a mental institute. Switched it off at the first gore scene.

An intriguing plotline let down by a poor script, excessive psychologically unsound brutality and numerous overly repulsive scenes throughout. If you can cope with the gore, it does become a immersive experience towards the end with the final escape sequence being what the film does best. The entire plotline is just absurd and overall, not good.

A repellent, odious, foul, revolting, distasteful, objectionable, sickening, repugnant and awful film with no redeeming quality except for tons of gore. I do not want to see a middle-aged person's eyeball get plucked out with a weapon. Unforgivably scornful and shameful. However, the horrendous writing is laughably bad and the acting is just as ghastly. The most gross and nasty film I've ever seen. That is saying something.

This movie was utter BS, and of no value to anyone except a wanker. Litterally. If you're 14 and you want a movie with some exposed breasts for a noticable portion of the movie, go with this one. Just shut it off when the guy with black hair gets locked in the back room at the bar.

Brilliant advert for the Hostel system and for anyone wanting to visit Yurp.
Only joking. Not for the faint of stomach as there are a couple of nasty bits in this, but a very well put together movie. Not as gory as you'd think either. If you are a bit squeamish you can look away a few times and still be alright

A step down, direction wise, from Cabin Fever, but there's stills a couple standout scenes (everything once they get to the torture area is pretty great). I'm not sure if it's trying to make some sort of point or if the characters are just stand-ins for general travelling morons but not as bad as I remember the torture porn movies of the 2000s were.

this movie broke so many boundaries for a movie on the big screen...the movie has its plot holes and its slow boring build up..but the last 45 mins are so over the top and cool...good movie

I really don't understand all the hate for this one. Exploitative gorefest, yes. Repugnant torture-porn, perhaps. Its approach to xenophobia and absurd bourgeoisie weekend-warrior machismo taken to an extreme, however, is via the blackest of comedy, and this seems to be lost on 90% of its audience. Yes, it is trashy, and deliberately so. It manages to create its own grimy, macabre underworld and maintains its dark sense of humor throughout. Try to maintain yours.

As often happens with Eli Roth's films, they are misunderstood as gorefest or dumb horror. It works better when its social and gender undertones (three men, being two ugly Americans, looking for women are deceived by them and butchered by rich men also looking for their kind of pleasure) are constantly at play, building a frontal reflection about consumerism and capitalism (Slovakia could be any other country that US ignore, the Nazi look suits good, so the kids who kill for bubblegum).

Yes, I saw it if fast-forwarding through 2/3 of it counts. A completely despicable and nauseating film that should never have been made. Without redeeming value of any kind.

Thirty years ago this kind of stuff was called "exploitation film" and then it had DIY charm and sometimes even brains behind its cynicism; none of that here, only an objective, artless view of what's supposed to scare people. Gore can't buy horror like money can't buy happiness.

Certainly brings new meaning to the idea that human life has no value. I just can't appreciate gore... everywhere.

A very vivid movie. True the begining does lack a little but it makes up for it with a strong dose of nudity, brutal violence, and good sequences.

Excessive gore can be done right. This is not an example of that, however. Horrendous writing and acting make Hostel an unforgivable blister of a movie. Sounds gross, right? That's the idea. Crap!

Another gore fest, but this one has a solid story behind it. The kids that kill for bubble gum are some of my favorite characters ever created.

This is one of the worst genre's ever. Torture/porn films need to go away. With almost no plot and mindless violence and sex this movie is disgusting and one of the worst i've ever seen.

Great idea, good characters, and great juxtaposition of the real and the percieved... But the torture segment really felt like too much. I'm a gore/slasher fan, but this was something else more disturbing... This captured an element of human depravity and suffering in torture that I am not comfortable watching. It ruined the rest of the movie for me. It doesn't give me nightmares, it just leaves a sick feeling in the gut when it's over.
