Review of Hostel (2006) by Akshatmahajan — 25 Jun 2021
I don't know why Hostel movie is well praised by the audience. I watched the movie after hearing and reading audience reviews but I think audience was wrong this time.
The atmosphere of movie is frightening but the idea of being drugged, kidnapped, tortured, and killed by people who are paying to do it wasn't executed properly. In starting, movie looks like tour comedy like Hangover. Then movie turns into psychological torture movie and then into survival movie. The director wasn't able to blend all these qualities properly. The movie jumped from one thing to another so badly that you can't feel any emotions.
The music was terrible. Movie like this needs a good background music that helps to create spooky environment but sound team did nothing good to contribute in the movie. The acting was bad, you can't connect with any of the character.
Overall, would ask you to not watch this movie unless you think it looks cool to tell others that you have watched Hostel movie.
