BRUTAL,GORY,BLOODY!!! This Movie Is Sick And Has Lots Of Strong Sexual Content. NO ONE SHOULD WHAT THIS IT'S GROSS!

Sick and Terrible movie.. Dumb and garbage to put in your mind.

Eli Roth is at it again his second Europe-set gore fest. Hostel was the most violent movie I had ever seen. There were images in that movie that made me almost sick to my stomach. But that was the point of the movie. Long ago, some people sat around a table and said "Let's make a genre of films that will keep people thinking about them all night, a movie that will really f**k with the audiance." And the horror genre was invented. Hostel not only accomplished this, but set a new standard for brutal horrors. The sequel does this also, but not as well as the first one. Hostel: Part II did many things right; it gave you a new scenario, with new characters and more sadistic torture, while sticking true to the first movie. However, there were a lot of cheesy moments. Unfortunately, the annoying, violent little children from the first movie return for the sequel. Basically, it breaks down like this: If you like horror, watch this. If you don't, don't. Simple as that. As for parents, it's brutal. Should your children watch it? NO.

Be forewarned that while this film should easily have received an NC-17 for the version screened in U.S. theatres, the DVD is being released "unrated" and this version would have been. It's important to understand the semantics . . . this version would easily have been over the top for an R rating, even for the MPAA which is really nothing more than a marketing platform for the major studios. If the film is "unrated", major retail chains will carry it, but with the NC-17 attached, most big box retailers won't touch it, equating it with porn, so this is how studios are getting around this. (This same issue is occuring with the videogame Manhunt 2.) You'd like to think they'd be smarter than that . . . they aren't, but you should be. This is nothing more than torture porn.

I must admit, this is one of my favorite movies of all time. But, the constant buzz about the content of the movie is really beginning to get annoying. Has anyone ever looked at a staged snuff film or looked at Asian horror, such as Audition where no bars are held when it comes to violence? I think that a lot of parents would never let their kids see this film and that's understandable. However, I'm sick of reading about how outraged parents are at this movie. Why not go to Blockbuster and pick yourself up a copy of "August Underground" and we'll see how many people complain about Hostel.
