Review of Turistas (2006) by Elaine J — 18 Aug 2009

Paradise Lost was closely compared to Eli Roths Hostel, as its main story line is based around the disappearances of holiday makers, and their bloody fates at the hands of local criminals who sell there internal organs to rich business men. However unlike Hostel this film has less gore, less suspense, and not as shocking. The plot though predictable is passable, but let down by chronic xenophobia, holes, weak and inconsistent characters and a poor conclusion.

Maybe with the knowledge tourists are still being murdered for their kidneys' and other internal organs which are then sold on the black market may add a certain potency to the film!
