I really do think that a movie like this could 'inspire' some people. The value of human life is going down. I find the idea of people laughing at it to be disgusting. Don't just say it was because it was a lousy movie - that may be so - but what goes on in that movie has actually happened to some of our fellow human beings and that's a level of horror I can't even bear to think about. There is something wrong with getting a kick out of someone's suffering.
Yeah thats pretty fucked up that you want a MORE gory movie. Its sick that you dont think that is gory enough, that should make everyone cringe. You need to stop watching sick horror movies like that because it is decreasing your natural reactions to bad situations like that!
Thats why we watch these types of films. To get a "kick" as you say, out of someones sufferings. Alot of people like that shit. It's only a movie so we watch the poor suckers get tortured and fucked with. It's Horror Entertainment. Like I said before it wasn't that great of a movie, but it would have been better if there was more torture and it got into it sooner in the film.
Exactly. That's my other point. People should be shocked by that kind of horror. If they see it in real life, they should be upset and disturbed. It shows compassion and prevents us from ever committing those kind of acts ourselves. I fear that some people would look at that sort of thing in real life and merely shrug their shoulders. Movies can be even more scary without emulating real-life horrors such as rape and torture. I don't support censorship, I just hope that Hollywood gets taking advantage of their freedom to splatter the screens with offensive brutality out of their systems soon.
If I saw someone getting their throat slit in real life, that would freak me out and effect me big time. Movies have not desensitized me at all to reality. There is a huge difference between fantasy and reality. Well there is to me anyways and maybe not to someone else who is on the verge of a breakdown....... The future of horror is more of this torture shit, I believe
The movie is so unrealistic and bad, that its a joke to me. Im a horror fanatic, thats all I watch, this not only was a bad horror film, just a bad film in general, it took itself to seriously, and was a joke! Call me a bad human being, call me dull or whatever, thats your opinion, and in my opinion, you can go fuck yourself if your anymore negative.
I hated the film. Tarantino must have been desperate for cash or something. An overfilled gore film with a terrible plot. Well done.
^No he didnt. He presented it, he saw it at a film festival and decided to present it which pretty much means that he gets to put his name on it and the movie gets more publicity.
I watched Hostel last night, or as i shall call it from now on.. "Dude Where's My Eye?". Disappointingly comical from a horror fan's perspective, but entertainingly stupid as a popcorn piece of fluff. File alongside the Final Destination movies.
Actually, Tarantino was a big fan of cabin fever, called up eli roth to come to his house and watch an old reel to reel of manos: the hand of fate, it was then that tarantino asked roth what he was gonna do next and he told him his idea, tarantino said "YES! DO IT!" and financed it.
^ thats not what i heard. The movie is most definetly PRESENTED and not produced by tarantino though.
I found the movie mildly racist, like if you live in a small town like that in Slovakia your ethier going to be involued in a plot to capture people and kill them or your going to be a mad kid. ok only really stupid people would see the film like that, however its not like there isn't any stupid people in the world is there? apart from that I liked the main guy that got on a train and lived in the end, I thought he did really well. the movie is nothing like saw, the whole premise of saw and what is so disturbing is that people where in man traps where there was a way out, however you had to nearly kill yourself to get there, this was tourture plan and simple. I think if your saying your seeing it as a social commentry your kidding yourself, there are lots of ways to learn about the dark side of human nature and watching a snuff movie really isn't the best way S
Wow you're fucking stupid. If fucking goddamn people getting their achilles cut and having eyes torched doesn't freak you out what in Jesus name will?
