Hostel II - going too far?
I'm not saying everyone who watches films likes Hostel are crazies harbouring sadistic and brutal desires. But the evidence is there to support the argument that these films occasionally inspire copycat killings, so obviously some are. Nonetheless, I find it kind of disturbing to think there are so many young guys watching this kind of thing and finding it harmlessly entertaining, if you can say that. It is a sad reflection on the state of society, and Tarantino and Roth and like should be ashamed of themselves for glorifying violence in this way. In the absence of anything to put me personally off the film Hostel, other than the fact its badly written, I find there to be nothing other than an unhealthy curiosity behind the darker side of the human psyche to interest a wider, less impressionable audience. There is of course nothing to be gained from denying it exists, but flooding the media market with these films at a time like this is not a very sensbile thing to do, and it worries me slightly.
Staurm Reviewed by Staurm on . Hostel II - going too far? I read recently that Eli Roth has made a sequel to Hostel, which is probably about the most disturbing and sickening film I have ever made the mistake of watching. The article in this months Film magazine writes it is going to begin with 45 minutes of sex, and then its into the torture. Once again in true Tarantino style, Roth is pushing the boundaries of acceptibilty by portraying sickening scenes of outrageous violence and sadism. Scenes are to include the graphic dismemberment of a male Rating: 5\"It\'s funny how the colors of the real world only seem really real when you viddy them on the screen.\"
