Hostel - Opinions?

I have yet to see this movie. I've heard it's supposed to be the most gorey movie ever. Just wondering if anyone has seen it and whether or not I should spend the 6 bucks and go.

I know it's just a movie, but I'm trying to figure out why people want to see this. I'm all for some good action movie gore of people shooting and blowing things up, but just tourture? I wouldnt pay my $9.50 to see some dude killed with a hand drill.

My girlfriend and I saw it Saturday and I wasn't impressed. It is pretty graphic but it's almost like they forgot to put a story in there to smoewhat compliment the gore. If I had it all to do again, I would save the $25 and rent it when it goes to DVD.

I took a my girl to see it and I think it sucked...It wasn't scary at all. It was like an hour of pot smokin/drinking/soft-core porn...then a few minutes of gore. BTW, that guy wasn't getting killed with the drill. :D

I thought the movie was awesome. I do agree that there could've been more of a plot, I mean it was there but not all the time(if that makes sense). I've always liked gorey movies, and this was probably one of the goriest(sp?) I've seen. I say spend the 6 bucks if ya want. I got lucky and found a 20 in the parking lot:tg:

Saw it and wish I never would have wasted my time. It was like they were trying to see how bloody they could possibly make the movie instead of trying to make it scary or full of suspense. Totally uncalled for and makes you wonder how (and why) people come up with this . To me gore doesnt make a movie scary and thats all the movie had.

If I remeber correctly, which doesn't happed too often, wasn't this based off a true story?

If you want a gory movie, go rent Kill Bill Vol. 1.

I thought Kill Bill vol.1 and 2 were awsome. Everytime I'm flippin' through the channels and I come across it, I just get sucked into watching the whole thing.

If you just want gore go here (nws)

I never saw kill bill and never wanted to. As a matter of fact, I dislike almost everything by tarrantino (sp?). Pulp fiction was mediocre at best, a few classic one-liners and that's about it. I really dislike him and find it hard to respect anything he has a part of, which is why I asked for opinions before seeing this movie.

saw it saturday night with my gf, another buddy of mine an his fiance..we all thought it sucked and was not what the hype was wanting it to live up to. if I had to do it again I wouldnt even rent it. Didnt want to go see it in the 1st place but got talked into it. Just glad I had a few shots and some beers before I left to make it almost enjoyable.
