IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT AND DON'T WANT A SPOILER, DON'T READ ANY FURTHER!!!!!!!!!
Ok, so all I've been hearing about Hostel was how it was so much better than Saw and how gory it was and stuff. Ok, it was pretty gory, but not as much as I was led to believe. The worst part was when he had to cut the nerve stem of the Asian girl's eye off, but that was only because I have a thing with eyes. It had such a great premise, but it failed to really horrify or get anyone really grossed out.
That said, it's not even my biggest gripe. Everyone says, "OH WOW THE ENDING IS SO AWESOME!!!! THE REVENGE HE GETS IS GREAT!!!!"
What revenge? He cuts the guy's two fingers off then cuts his throat. 5 seconds of pain and then it's all over? WTF? THAT'S NOT FUCKING REVENGE!!!!!!
A better ending? Returning home, organizing yourself, then coming back and posing as someone else and just go inside and fucking pwn everyone. But in doing that, neutralize all the guards so it's just you and the sadists. Then lock them in their little cells and torture them in the manner they wanted to torture others. Drag it out long and painful, each one in graphic detail. Then do the same to the police who were setting it all up as well. Ok, it woulda been kinda fake, but at least there would've been a little satisfaction at the end of the film besides that palsy throat slash from just one guy at the end. Big deal.
Tarrantino is a fag. So is Eli. I hope the next one will be a little less weak.
Way to fuck up one of the best premises in the history of film.

I don't really like that movie, though. Not sure why exactly, I guess I just don't "get" or see much point to it. The torture scene, with the dude having the skewer prodded up his boaby, followed by the fried fat on his back, was nasty and gratuitous. It felt overlong and just an exercise in obsessive sado-masochism.
