Hope I didn't get hopes up and I think I've might've let a lot of you down. Sorry, I thought it was good, not great, but something a bit different. Horror seems to be weak this year, so maybe that's why I liked it, cuase everything else been sucky.

I'm wondering how this was a play?

It all takes place in one room and has five characters total. I think it probably worked better as a play. The movie makes some things too clear that should have remained ambiguous.

i saw this tonight (tuesday) and they pulled the first 5 minutes of hostel!! Did they ever show it on friday-monday??? I complained after the show and got a free movie ticket!
apparently for some reason AMC was instructed to remove the first five minutes of hostel 2. I wonder why?

I figured that it was gonna be one of those films where they decide to market it as horror even if it wasnt as they only way to appeal to a wider audience if this was gonna play nationwide. But the lack of teenagers made me think there was more substance. I still cant decide if I should see it or not. Can someone gives examples of what films are similar to this: good or bad?

But then, toward the end, the body horror and self-mutilation kick in. That's where the similarities end.

For me, it wasn't the acting, directing, or script (all of which were bad) that made me believe this to be a very poorly done film...
It was the fact that, after seeing the boom mike displayed twice,fairly prominently, within the first few minutes, I just sort of lost respect for it on a cinematic level.

I didn't see any boom mics when I caught the movie. I'm guessing the movie theater misframed the print. That's the most common reason for seeing things like boom mics.

A friend of mine dragged me to go see this movie last weekend. I had no idea what it was about going in, except that it was suppose to be a some sort of horror flick according to my buddy. At several points through the showing, the people in my theatre were straight out laughing. And I certainly didn't blame them.

Re: "Bug" (Ashley Judd)" reviews thread...
Watched this last night...what a terrible piece of s**t. The first half was ok and had good acting, but the second half was sooooooooooooo awful. The last 15 mins or so might be up there with some of the worst movies ever made. Ashley Judd should be ashamed of herself.
