When I first saw the trailer for Eli Roth’s new movie “Hostel”, I wasn’t too sure what to expect. The plot looked intriguing, but I haven’t been impressed with a horror film that’s been released from Hollywood since “The Sixth Sense” or “Se7en”. That said, the fact that Quentin Tarantino was an Executive Producer on the project intruiged me. Even though he didn’t contribute anything creatively to the project, I figured Tarantino wouldn’t attach his name to something that wasn’t at least a decent product.

It turns out that wasn’t the case at all. To be honest, this had to be one of the worst films I have seen in a long time. The acting was terrible, the characters were boring and one dimensional, and even though there were some pretty graphic scenes, the movie never had any real tension or suspense. I suppose part of the reason why I disliked the movie could have had to do with the fact that my friends and I showed up to the theatre a little late and had to sit at the far right end of the first row, but I doubt it. Ben seems to think the same way I do, so something tells me that seeing the movie in any forum wouldn’t help. This will definitely be the last time that I go to a movie just because Tarantino is attached to the project.

In the words of the trailer: “You’ve Been Warned”!
