What was so bad about it? (I haven't seen it yet or ever?)
I have yet to see a Tarantino-related film or show I don't at least like... |
the few people i know who saw it, said it was graphic as hell - but they enjoyed it. i guess they were expecting what it delivered. |

| it's not even a "Tarantino film", he directed it, NOT produced it. BIG DIFF |

| Yeah wasn't too impressed. In classic Tarrentino style (maybe thats why he put his name all over it) it has absolutely over the top shock and gore. But maybe even too much for Quentin. It was like Saw but 10x more gorey and 10x more predictable. |

I haven't laughed that hard in a theater in a long time
I found this film to highly amusing. Not that I enjoy torture, but the "gore" was just over the top, hence I laughed.
I gotta find 15 little street kids to be army. |

| I thought Hostel was pretty good. It’s graphic to a point but not too disgusting. It’s actually based on a true story. The beginning was just like a soft porn act, holy everywhere. I would rate it a 7/10.I did like it but its the kind of movie you only watch once. |

Too Disgusting? Damn I guess you missed the blow torch scene... that was f'ed up.
And yeah it said based on true events... what I would like to know is WHAT EVENTS? - no way this happened. |

That is nothing compared to the achilles tendon part. I almost puked then, and when he stood up and the crackling sounds came across the speakers I distinctly remember saying "OH ME RUNNING" awfully loud.
I enjoyed the movie though. I like how it went like mundane, mundane, mundane, HOLY HOLY HOLY . Half and half. |

I just saw it and I didn't think it was very Tarintino-ish...but I did enjoy it. It's definatly not for people with easy stomach's but I dunno...I like sick twisted stuff like that.
The scariest part is that it could be true for all we know. My friend was telling me about the back drop for the story. The director (I forget his name, but he did Cape Fear), had come across a website in Thailand or something where you could pay to torture people, and people in Thailand were selling their kids to this place to make money. He was going to do a documentary on it, but who would admit to something like that? Who knows if it was real or not... |
