Hostel (2005)

Rate: 6
Viewed: 3/07

3/07: The first forty minutes of Hostel is lively, vivacious, and fresh with plenty of nudity and sex.

At the same time, the energy created by the three male protagonists makes it fun. Then, when the main show comes, Hostel suddenly loses me as it tries too hard to be a torture-porn horror film. I mean, that's all it has to offer?

However, it isn't until later there's a revelation of what the whole thing is all about. Not only I'm slightly impressed, but I also feel it should have been signaled earlier.

All in all, Hostel starts off well but eventually loses its way.
