Seen it. Not as gorey as i would have liked but nonetheless good fun. Storyline is a bit dull and predictable. Torture scenes few and far between. Saw 2 in my opinion had more gore than this. Not bad though. 3/5 stars. ps. slovakian chicks pretty hot.

excessively, pointlessly, gratuitously violent with no clear intent.

no idea why tarantino would "present" this... whatever the hell that means.

the ending was pretty effective though, the only part with actual meaning.

the hunter becomes the hunted. very effective.
the cut off eyeball juice stuck in my head all night though, and well into the next day... thanks a fucking lot, ROTH!

I would like to see this movie. Anybody that has seen it, have you also seen Wolf Creek? Is it better than that? I thought Wolf Creek was a good movie, however nowhere near as scary as expected.

no. wolf creek was well made, well acted and thought provoking.

hostel was a load of shit, basically. dont see it, its gory and all, but who cares.

if you are sick enough to get a kick out of torture, watch a snuff film for free on the internet. dont waste your money on excessive, pointless gore like this.

Hmm, ok. I'm going to take your advice, not much point seeing it if it has a shit storyline.

I thought Hostel looked good after seeing this thread.. Was there alot of spraying blood like in Kill Bill LoL?

Wolf creek was awesome, I still think the guy killed those 2 chicks, and he made the whole story up! You know the guy that went on the road trip with em..

Most of the scenes were actually purely done through 'build up'. They were actually playing with the audiences mind through intense build up of music etc...there weren't enough gore scenes at all...i thought underworld 2 was better in terms of violence...

the end was good imo..

the only gore i could rememebr was when the guy cut the japanese girls eyeballs off...greenish goo spilled out..ahahaha

Spoiler?

Personally I thought the movie was ordinary, it had its moments but it was for the most part avg. The start of it despite having lots of naked ladies was to long as well and went nowhere, and then when it came down the actual point of the movie it was to short.....

I thought the friends died off to quickly, they should have lasted abit longer once they got to the actual desintation and saw suspiscious things (maybe other people disappearing), then the iceland guy should have disappeared, and then leave the other two for a while, then the frigid guy should go, then its all up to tarrintino.... instead they spend half the movie building up to that little town and then in no time two out of 3 friends just go.

There were some real credibility issues as well, as if you would follow that chik to a 'art show' in an ambandoned wharehouse, if you really needed to find your friends you'd do it at a better time like not with her or any other ppl around. Or how the chainsaw kept going, once you take your finger of the 'trigger' it would stop, thats a security feature on like 99% if not all have. Maybe its nittpicking, but to me those sought of things detracted from the rest of the movie

Yeha the movie is pretty much a load of junk. Eli Roth is some idiot that makes idiotic teen horror movies eg Cabin Fever lol. We need real horror, these days you put a whole load of fake blood and sex in a movie and you have a horror movie. Im sick of it. The only movie that has ever freaked me out is Signs. Eerie. Creepy. Wasnt even horror, most horror movies these days are hilarious because they are so lame, eg Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Saw 2 (was a mad disappoinment). I wanna be scared by a horror movie for once. The only movies that deserve to have mad amounts of blood and dead things are Zombie movies. If you want sex, watch a porn, if you want death download some snuff. This is junk.

i was soo excited to see an R rate movie in the cinema :D
not a complete waste of time but sex, boobies, drugs & chicks and gore themes don’t really mix

however, the concept of being a surgeon is interesting *evil grin*

I saw it - maybe im desensitised, or have just "grown up", but it wasn't scary. :(
Oh well, highlight of the movie was the tits on those two euro chicks, that was pretty awesome

this was basically wolf creek with lame characters and boobies. i like boobies are much as the next guy, but no amount can compensate for terrible characters. i mean, roth film doesn't even try to make them remotely likeable or charismatic, as if he's assumed that all we're seeing this for is for t&a and gore. such lazy filmmaking. and especially disappointing since the concept of those torture chambers is so inherently scary, and the ending is pretty good.

just downloaded it, just finished watching it, just finished masturbating.

actually, wait no, wrong movie.

but yes i downloaded hostel as well.

those 2 girls were very extrememly hot, well at least their bodies were.

hmmmmmm....i really liked the ending though :)

i was like 'c'mon kill that motherfucker!!!! KILL HIM!!! KILL!! KILL KILL!!!! (when the main dude killed the fag surgeon in the toilet). Glad he survived as i liked him the most, though i wanted the um i think his name was josh dude to survive too :( and that lame king of swing fag died to early plus you didn't see his death, just his head. The coolest part was when the asian chick jumped in front of the train, scares me though because we've had a few train-suicides in sydney, would hate to see one, but im sure it would not look like that..


movie rating: 2.5/5
