Hostel, a review by addicted2dvd

Hostel
Presented by Quentin Tarantino ('Kill Bill, Vols. 1 & 2') and written and directed by Eli Roth ('Cabin Fever'), HOSTEL is a shocking and relentless film about two Americans (Jay Hernandez of 'Friday Night Lights' and Derek Richardson of 'Dumb and Dumberer') backpacking through Europe who find themselves lured in as victims of a murder-for-profit business.

My Thoughts:
The first thing I noticed about this movie is that when watching the first half an hour of the movie you can forget that you are even watching a horror movie. That first half an hour feels more like a movie about college buddies backpacking it through Europe. But then when they get to this one particular Hostel... that is where all the fun begins. Then the horror hits pretty good. This is not much of a movie for scares... it is more of a shock value type horror... with a generous amount of gore. Though I will admit that I remembered it to be a bit gorier from the first time I watched it. Over-all... while it is not the best horror movie I have seen lately. I did enjoy it quite a bit... and can see myself watching it again.

Plot:Time to return to what my review topic is suppose to be about : less known movie. No controversy this time I promise...

This film is one of the three erotic movies from Seduction Cinema that I've received last week. Like Chantal this is a very professionally made film with an interesting story, professional actresses and a big plus for me : not film on digital (I don't like the look of the film made with a digital camera that looks cheap). The story is about a young teenager who live with her aunt for a week because something happen to her mother, but the movie doesn't tell what. Misty on her short stay will experience and learn about her sexuality with herself, man and woman.

For playing a young girl Misty Mundae is the perfect choice, she is very young looking and she looks very innocent. Julian Wells is perfect too for the role of the older aunt. The rest of the cast is not bad either, but the only other character who talk in this film is Mario Duchi (so the not so bad is more for the look than the acting).

Since this is an erotic movie the sex scenes are important. Contrary to Chantal the sex in this one is exciting and sound realistic even if it's fake. What I means is that this not mechanic we feel the love and they don't act stupid like in xxx movies. They don't shout (yes! Yes! Harder! ...) but they heave sighs and this is very sensual and really exciting. The movie score is really good and include as a bonus disc (it's always pleasing to be surprise since it was not mention in the dvd details).

Another film that I recommand if you like the genre and this one is more conventional than Chantal.

My Thoughts:
Once again this is another episode I enjoyed. We are really on a role here. The series has been up in  quality for several episodes straight.  I like the whole consequences from the spell thing. And of course there is the first look at the returning Connor from the hell dimension.
