Hostel


No...that's not Prince Zardoz' cousin.... :)

I'm a little behind on all these slasher flicks (but I do have Saw, Saw II, Wolf Creek, and The Descent somewhere down my list) and this first one was actually great! The exploration from the bliss of the Amsterdam red district to the hedonistic charms of this hostel in the middle of nowhere to the depths of hell...well, not exactly...the depths of torture...is a classic downward spiral method (think the opening sequence of Outbreak...we're on BL5!). The revenge in the end was very satisfying (I'm guessing Quentin loved that part too...seeing as how the revenge story has been his main staple).
