Review of Hostel (2006) by Kellen V — 26 Jul 2010
Plot: 3.5/5.
Acting: 3/5.
Screenplay/Directing/Cinematography: 3.5/5.
Script/Character Development: 3/5.
Scares: 3/5.
Makeup: 5/5.
Thrills/Drama: 2/5.
Social Commentary: 3/5.
Overall: 26/40 = 3.25/5 = 3/5.
Hostel's social commentary may feel slightly muted in relation to Eli Roth's and Quentin Tarantino's previous efforts, and its plot and cast are somewhat less interesting than previous 'torture-porn' films like Saw, but a creepy performance from Jan Vlasák and a good amount of gory makeup just about saves it...not as scary or gory as hyped, though.
