That this movie is taking up space in theaters at a time when people should be seeking out far worthier fare is just downright sad.

While there are some cheap thrills to be had here, much of the movie is profoundly boring.

Viewers expecting Tarantinos visual wit and cinematic verve are bound to feel rooked by Roths gallows schlock.

It doesnt advance the genre in any real way, but its definitely nasty enough to demand your attention.

Hostel is a puerile horror film which will most appeal to an audience the censor says cannot see it.

In and of itself it inspires no horror nor is it the unrelentingly depraved movie some gorehounds will queue up for.

Lets hope 2006s first horror film isnt an indication of where the genre is going this year.

The only way a gruesome gore fest like Hostel works is if the actors make it believable.

His attempts to bring intelligence to a genre desperately needing it makes him worthy of a place among the masters of horror.

Though in the end, whats primarily unpleasant about the insincere and only mildly hostile Hostel is its refusal to be truly unpleasant.
