It was a much better film than 'Cabin Fever', and a bit better than I was expecting. It takes quite awhile to get started, but they do a good job setting up the plot--although there is a sex-overload in the first third of the film, which is a stark contrast to the rest of the film. I can't remember one scene in the first third that didn't have sex or nudity.
Eli Roth does a good job of creating a tense movie, but he likes to create tense moments that lasted too long--which makes the movie somewhat frustrating... It's not much of a gore-fest, but it is graphic. My friends who saw it with me forgot that it was low-budget horror film by today's standards. The imagery created was indeed disturbing, it's no Mikai film (granted he does a great job replicating his sense of humor), but good none-the-less.
I was surprised by the film in the end, and I'd recommend seeing it at least once. It's a sick movie, more snuff than horror, so if you thought something like 'Saw' was bad, you'll want to avoid this.
Oh yeah and despite the fact that I went to an 11:30 showing, and the nature of this film, there was a stupid bitch who brought her kid to this who sitting infront of us and the kid could have been no older than 5 and he behaved, but still find a babysitter you whore ... If you didn't want that kind of responsibility, you should have kept your legs closed or put him up for ADOPTION! JESUS, I swear, the people in this country...

You should have roasted the baby.

Yeah no way would I show my 4 yr old a bunch of sex and torture. I don't remember if I knew for sure what I saw on tv wasn't real at that age...in fact I'm still trying to fight crime with my nose hairs to this very day even.

Well, I'm not a big believer in people confusing movies and tv with reality...I knew the difference. However, the way kids are raised these days, who knows. I all know is that I could see the little shit looking at the screen as a Japanese girl was getting her eye burnt out of the socket with a blow-torch while being raped...

What was funny was all the kids brought to Boat Trip. That movie was definately not for kids, and the parents were dumbfucks not to realize a movie about a gay cruise would have alot of penis in it.

Why were you watching a movie about gays and penis?

Yeah. I knew the difference, too. I think it's definetely in the way a kid is raised. Most of them know you can't fly off the roof as Superman. A kid who feels worthless, or who's on drugs, or who doesn't care though, or who has parents retarded enough to take him to "Hostel" is not disuaded from trying anyway.
I actually had a similar talk about kids and inappropriate movies with a co-worker. I still remember to this day being a little kid and in the room while my parents saw "Fatal Attraction". Sex scenes in movies have always made me a bit uncomfortable, and I think that dirty feeling that I was watching something grossly inappropriate for my age plays a huge part in it to this day. Not with just that film, but that's one of the ones I remember. Though I liked the violence of R-rated movies as a kid, the sexual content always bothered me.
There's a difference between seeing inevitabilites and seeing things at a comfortable age to understand them. Horror movies and their imagery was also very disturbing to me as a child. I never saw Freddy, or Jason, or Hellraiser or any of that. Stuff that I can watch now harmlessly would've given me countless nightmares back then. Amusingly, it wasn't my parents that prevented me from watching any it either. I knew what those movies would do to me, and left the room. Frankly, I'm grateful I had the foresight to do so. I didn't give a damn and still don't if that makes me a pussy or a wimp. I was the one that had to worry about me being able to sleep at night.

And I will not be watching Hostel on account that I just find it appalling. IFC showed a clip, and the preview was just a vile piece of garbage. I see no reason in the world why I would pay movie admission and deal with douches on their cellphones, just to see what looks like a lot of blood and torture. I can imagine worse for free.
And I did see Saw and I liked it. (Not like-like, but in the way one could like such a film.) But I had already read spoilers and I borrowed it from my cousins, so I saw it for free.
