Hostel 2 Possible Spoilers If You Don't Read Movie Reviews - saynomore - 06-21-2007
Think Hostel in reverse. Instead of male victims, female victims; instead of seeing the story through the victims' eyes, story through the torturers' view, etc. Still think Cabin Fever is Roth's best.

Hostel 2 Possible Spoilers If You Don't Read Movie Reviews - bones weep tedium - 06-22-2007
We watched Cabin Fever after several good reccommedations from friends. Neither one of us enjoyed it and it didn't hold my attention very well because I can't remember a thing about it now, other than one or two little things.
Hostel was ok, but I was disappointed. I had been expecting something really hardcore, and felt that the majority of the film was a fairly typical teeny-horror movie. The torture was ok, but compared with Flowers Of Flesh And Blood or August Underground and you realise how mainstream it really is.
I'll watch Hostel II, but I doubt it'll give me nightmares
Have you ever heard of this style of movie described as Torture Porn? I think it's a pretty accurate term.
