one of my friends actually went to see this movie ON A DATE and both of them ended up throwing up watching this.

Anyone have plans to see it? it's Quinten Tarentino's foray into horror (he's the executive producer), so if you thought he was a sadistic bastard before... you haven't seen a thing until he gets into the slasher genre.

I personally enjoy a good horror movie but there's only so much sadism I can take, and the previews of this movie are enough to make me squirm. However, I hope if this film is successful, horror movies can go back to their natural R-rated habitat. Enough with PG-13 horror movies!!!!!!! Plus, after 2005 was loaded with horror remakes (Amityville, The Fog, House Of Wax, etc...), maybe 2006 will be the year original storylines take over again in the horror field.

Nothing against horror movie fans, but it's amazing how many people take pleasure in scaring and grossing themselves out.

I really don't wanna watch this movie cuz I HATE those kinds of films.

Hey...got a link to the trailer? ;)

Never mind...saw the trailer and read some spoilers...EEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 :barf:

Tarantino scares me with his movies. I don't think I'll be able to watch this one.

It got good reviews.

I wonder if the reviews are because critics kiss anything Tarentino's associated with. Take his name out of the movie and I'm sure it'd be getting bomb reviews talking about how anyone who'd thing up such a movie belongs locked in a psychiatric ward... but since it's Tarentino, it's good.

I like horror movies but I just can't watch stuff like this and House Of 1000 Corpses/Devil's Rejects. I like horror that scares you, but not repels you.

Yeah, I like a good scare, not a good hurl. I think Tarentino does usually make good movies, but from the previews, I don't think I could handle this one.

How is Tarantino associated with this film again? I thought he was the director, then I found out it was someone else...some Eli guy. Stupid me. :lol:

I've been reading reviews of this film, and it is supposed to be highly disturbing and graphic. I couldn't sit through Kill Bill, so I'm certain I won't be able to watch this, even though I am a big horror movie fan!!! :eek:

Tarantino was the executive producer of the movie. Eli Roth was the one who wrote and directed it. In an interview, Roth said the reason why Tarantino was associated with this film is to get it released. Quentin, did not write or direct a single shot of the film. Tarantino, coincidentaly, is writing and directing his own horror movie called "Grind House." So far, Hostel is the #1 movie in America.

Yeah, I think he would've needed a big name like Tarantino for people to watch this movie.

what is with all the sadism in horror movies these days? I mean, there's SAW and SAW II, Rob Zombie's House Of 1000 Corpses (I watched a few minutes of this) and its sequel The Devil's Rejects, House Of Wax was also pretty sadistic (was it really needed for the bad guy to cut the girls fingertip off? I mean, he coulda just stepped on it when she stuck her finger out of the ground) and now we have Hostel, a movie that is being promoted because "this is sick and gross... and Quinten Tarentino is presenting it, so it's gonna be good"

Society has gone down the drain dudeeeee. ohno:

I heard the movie isn't any good, it's just some expelled surgeons that go pshycho.

My daughter seen this movie and she said she was disappointed. More sex scenes than horror. She anticipated being grossed out (she loves movies like that) and instead she left the movie before it finished because she was so disappointed.

the commericals for this movie freak me out....I won't be seeing it.

I find it a sad comment on society when groups of people are boycotting Brokeback Mountain and some cities are refusing to show the film, while a movie like Hostel comes out the exact same week and nobody finds anything to object to about that. Some person in Utah said she was happy that Brokeback isn't airing in her city because "it might send the wrong message to kids and by banning this, we can teach them right from wrong", but yet nobody raises an eyebrow over sadism, such as dismembering people. I am sure most people would choose to be kissed by a member of the same sex than to have their _____ cut off by a madman if they had to make a choice. Oh well....

Those kinda people suck. Ugh. :racist: b's!! :snob:

It really isn't that bad....thir were some parts where I looked away. (I consider myself sqeamish). The 13-15 year old girls that were there were watching it and they didn't seem to be bothered too much by it. Anybody that would throw up watching this would also have a very hard time watching any horror movie.

I would give the movie a c+/B-. Not Tarrantino'sbest by far. Has some scary parts and a few whihc make you look away. Any horror fan should be able to handle it.

so it's not the snuff film quality that the previews promoted it as being?

No, it IS A SNUFF FILM. It opens up in Amsterdam smoking pot....has a bunch of sex scenes and then has people gettin' cut up. But the grossness isn't as bad as I anticipated.

I went because I was wanting to see what was so gross about it. :lol:

I couldn't agree with you more...

Well, it wasn't at all scary and I was expecting more as for all the gross out stuff. I did enjoy it though.
