Review of Hostel (2011) by Landon J — 21 Dec 2018
This was much tamer than I was expecting. I think because its 13 years old now, and because of its now vaunted reputation as the first torture porn film (incorrectly), that it seems so bad. There were may be 5 scenes that were tortuous or overly gory, which is tame by todays standards.
The acting was pretty good (namely Oli) and that helped raise the level of intrigue that film evoked. The plot is a twist on the horrendous European Vacation.
