For one thing, there was no porn, just lots of boobies. For the true horror fan, this movie was exceptional! Compared to most other horrors, this movie actually had good acting! Surprise surprise! The gorey details are great, and without some sexuality, it isn't a great horror. Look at all of the classic vampire movies! The characters were believable, and come on, who didn't crack a chuckle when the gang of kids was bribed with the bag of bubble gum? That was great! So you have great gore, good acting, some chuckles, AND the revenge factor. I won't spoil the movie, but it's the type of ending where it makes you feel good, not just grossed out and hopeless.

Made me sick to my stomach the first time I saw this film. That's sayin a lot because I've seen a lot of gore in horror movies and I can take alot. That's what made me realize how good it really was!!! Jay Hernandez does an outstanding job as both victim and revenge seeker!!!! Be forewarned that some of the gore might make you sick to your stomach!

Hostel is a good film. It is incredibly violent and contains some truly brutal scenes, but they are all in the service of the big picture. The end of the film is extremely rewarding and surprisingly suspenseful, once all of the brutality runs its course. Hostel is classic storytelling with a twist and is certainly not for the faint of heart.

That sums it up! Loved the way it worked out, the second half is worth seeing (first half is the porn).

This was a good movie except most of the blood and gore was done off cameria.

Very disappointed! Cabin Fever was great, this wasn't worth the trouble of ordering, seeing and sending back!

I was so excited to see this movie but only after a few minutes of watching it I was very disappointed. I mean there were like 2 bone chilling scenes and the rest was just a snore. Saw was more scary and there is nothing scary about those movies! I am a true blooe, gore, horror fan but this def. did not make my list

If you like a senseless movie with killing humans as a sport this movie is for you. It SUCKED! The acting was nonexistant. VERY VIOLENT AND GORY. BLEH! I can't believe they made a second one. Not worth watching even if it is free.

Rented this because my sister said, "it's the scariest movie I've ever seen". Yes, at the end of the movie when you understand the premise it is rather frightening. However, spending the first 30-odd minutes looking at all over tans and enhancements is another version of scary. Overall pretty lame.

This is a very cool movie. I loved it and would watch it over and over again, I will probably buy it. blood and gore men and women and sex oh la la. men are men they love sex will do anything 4 it. I disagree with the people who didn't like it, I loved it and thought it was better than first, gory sex and revenge.
