Hostel

I like most scary movies no matter how corny they are. But most don't really scare me because they are so over the top, with villains that won't die or fictitious monsters.

Hostel, on the other hand, depicts situations that really could happen and sick and twisted people that really could exist. Too many horror movies have over-the-top situations, but the events that take place in Hostel could very well happen. If you've seen Eurotrip, picture that scenario and combine that with your worst nightmare.

Hostel is also one of the most grotesque movies that I've seen in a while. I don't watch horror movies just for their shock value, and this movie doesn't really try to shock you in that way. Hostel just does a very good job at portraying what the victims endure. Hostel is not for the squeamish. I would say that Hostel has the sickest scene I've seen in a movie so far, but it is by no means out of place.

I would recommend this movie to anyone that likes any of the Saw movies or any Quentin Tarantino movies. After seeing this, you'll second guess your trip to Europe.
