DivX: Hostel (2005)
Hostel (Eli Roth) was much more of a joke than I’d been expecting. I got the impression that Roth chickened out and went for some less realistic special effects. That’s weird, though, since Cabin Fever was pretty gross.
One cool thing was the cameo of Takashi Miike, whose films arguably define the horror-gore genre.
I thought the setup of characters and setting was pretty good. I guess there’s not much else to say about it, except that it wasn’t as gross or scary as I had expected, and I laughed at certain points. Oh, and the movie posters were pretty cool. Overall impression: not worth the hype.
