Hostel
« on: January 07, 2006, 03:35:44 PM »
Wow.  I saw this film yesterday and alhough I was a little disapointed, I can admit I got squeamish at times.  The first half of the film plays like a Softcore Porn Flick while the second half is simply one torture scene followed by another.  I never get to see stuff like this, I don\'t know why I want to, but I will say this...  Eli Roth is one messed up individual.

i thought it was a dumb premise when i saw the preview before saw 2. Didnt seem like any thought behind it besides making as nasty of a film as possible.

uh?
It\'s a mainstream American film. If you want to see something that is truly messed up, look for the Japanese Experiments series..etc.
I still plan on watchin\' it, as I loved Cabin Fever.

For your own safety, if you guys ever see a movie with the name Takashi Miike anywhere in the credits/review/etc. run for your life.

If you aren\'t looking out for director names then at the very LEAST avoid movies named Audition or Visitor Q.

Wait Wolf Creek was good?  That movie was a piece of crap, it was like Crocodile Dundee went on rampage.  The setup of the movie took an hour, and then it was only 30 minutes of actual execution of the film.  Wolf creek was VERY disapointing.

Oh and I\'m sorry, but subtitle movies suck.  If I\'m going to watch a movie with subtitles, I might as well go ahead and read a book for half the price of a movie.

I want a movie that has the quality of a Japanese film (gore, suspense, etc.) but filmed in English so it can be understood without subtitles.

No, the movie doesn\'t suck. YOU suck for not understanding the language.

I\'m sorry I don\'t speak fluent Japenese.  I didn\'t realize it would be useful for anything outside watching Japenese films.

I liked Wolf Creek for the most part. A little slow to get going and I did wonder why it was even made but I\'d rather see that than the usual Hollywood crap fest.

Looking forward to Hostel, though.

don\'t be ignorant, hurricane

understanding the language has nothing to do with feeling the emotion and character in the original voice tracks.
