I read somewhere that people were fainting at this screening.
I don't get it, how can anyone watch this kind of stuff?
It's an acquired taste that's for sure. Stuff like this used to only play in midnight shows in grindhouses. Remember 'Last House on the Left'?
Whatever happened to wholesome, family pictures? It seems the movie industry keeps going further and further into the gutter.

You probably heard it on the bogus commercial on TV for the movie. They are trumping it up for ticket sales. The movie looks like "Saw" from the previews and doesn't even look scary.
People fainted during the first few showings of "The Exorcist" and that turned into a blockbuster. This one probably won't be, but some folks like it. Diff'rent strokes...
This review seems to reveal as much about its author as it does about the movie.
The subtitle of this review is “Horror flick 'Hostel' is not horrifying enough.”
The author states that early in the movie “Intolerant and bullying, Paxton causes most of the trouble, and the movie indulges his chauvinism and casual homophobia.” The review ends, “The trouble is that in Paxton we have a hero we don't like. … Part of you is rooting for this cocky American to lose more than a finger.”

People faint for different reasons, I fainted while watching "Herbie, Fully Loaded" ;)
Does it have shades of a snuff film?
