Title: Strangers on a Train MEETS The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Review: Now, I knew not what to expect when I purchased this film, but being a fan of horror, I decided to give it a go. At first I was disappointed to find that it was written by the creator of "Cabin Fever"--a film that I wish I could erase from my movie-going memory. But "Hostel" tries to break all the rules and it delivers in that regard. I would only recommend it to DIE hard fans of the genre, especially if you have a penchant for gore. This movie has wall to wall blood and guts. It even evokes some Hitchcockian elements with Americans loosed in a Slovakian country where the characters surrounding them are not on the level. At times, the film is so gratuitous with both sex and violence, that you almost roll your eyes at how unbelievable it is. Yet, the reasons for why the gore occurs is a probable (and profitable) theme that could happen in reality. That's what makes the movie all the more terrifying.
