Review of Hostel (2011) by Ed T — 07 Aug 2016

Just got around to viewing this eleven years after its debut, and I must say that I may not have enjoyed this movie as much as I could have upon its release. There have been countless "gornos" since "Hostel" (The "Saw" franchise, "The Green Inferno", "Evil Dead") that did the sub genre way more justice that there seemed, to me, no other reason for anyone to view this film.

There is hardly any plot (seriously, there is no context why there is an entire group of people helping one man do horrible things to people) except that there is a group of friends looking for a good time and they find themselves in a horrific situation.

With that being said, the only reason I would recommend this is if you are a fan of Eli Roth and/or the torture porn sub genre. Otherwise, skip it. 3.9/10.
