Speaking Of Tortured…

December 18th, 2006

Clive Owen simply looked tortured in Children of Men. Most of the people in Hostel get the real deal… shame.

You’d think that tourists guides would have a section for this kind of thing. Something like ‘looking for girls: is it really worth it?’ The main characters in this classic Tarantino gem are oblivious to the pitfalls that await unsuspecting fools, and are in Amsterdam doing what any over-excitable college students do: looking for ass. Through various adventures, they find a hostel, and ass. Lulled into thinking they have found Utopia, it’s only when one of them checked out without telling the others that things start getting weird on them. Being men, they decide to spend one more night in heaven, instead of getting the fuck outa there. Their bad!

It takes the second dude in their little trio to vanish after a rohypnol jol, the last (but by no means the least) passing out in the club. What he doesn’t know doesn’t hurt him… yet. But we know. Guy 2 aka ‘Josh the gentle’ wakes up in some sort of torture chamber, and gets operated on by some wack dude who was rejected from med school for shaking hands. Like I said, classic Tarantino. Anyway, while this is happening, our hero is waking up, in all senses of the word. He goes back to the hostel, to hear that his friend has checked out and that he himself has apparently also checked out. Things go downhill from there, but the main thing is that Tarantino doesn’t ruin our heroes face. Oh and there’s a happy ending even, which is something you don’t get to see in a Tarantino spectacular.

Like seriously? I have been watching horrors since I was about 10. I don’t get scared, grossed out or even shocked. I thought I was immune, until I watched this. I spent some parts of the movie with my hands over my eyes, but from all the bits I did see, while I can’t quite say that this was a good movie, it is exactly what you’d expect from the master of twisted, and worth checking out. If you can force yourself to sit through the hectic scenes, let me know so I can congratulate you.

    yes Hostel officially hit a 10 on my twisted-o-meter. I had to look away for some parts, like the drill through the knee bit, ugh. But my bf sat there staring at the screen the whole time. I don’t know whether to be impressed or scared. ha ha

    Ja, the drill bit was rough. BF probably felt he had to look, guys can’t cover their eyes and squeal I guess, hahaha!
