Yeah, you won’t see anything like this on TV. Some people might trash the movie, while others might think this is exactly what a horror film should be, but *Hostel* won’t leave anyone indifferent. The film stays with you for more than just a little while. Even a year after watching it, when you hear the word “Hostel,” your mind immediately associates it with brutality.
Hostel is the kind of movie where you can’t wait for it to end—not because the movie is bad, but simply because you can’t stand that atmosphere anymore, the one that leaves a metallic taste in your mouth. Throughout both *Hostel* movies, you won’t find a single moment where someone jumps out from around a corner to scare you, but when you witness the victims’ torment and hopelessness, you sink about 5 centimeters into the couch, and your adrenaline goes through the roof. Some scenes make you look away from the screen. The film is completely uncensored—they show everything as it is.
When I saw the movie’s rating, I realized that not everything is so bad in our world. It would be better if only a few people saw this movie. Anyone who watched the first *Hostel* will definitely watch the second one. It plays on a purely human sense of curiosity—it’s horrifyingly disgusting; you don’t want to watch it, but your head turns toward the screen on its own, and then away again. So if there’s a third *Hostel*, you’ll “have” to watch that one, too. You’re better off not starting.
