Don't bother. I was terribly disappointed, considering this was a Tarantino flick. It wasn't at all good for Tarantino, heck, it wasn't at all good for a "B" horror film. I'd go so far as to say that the half hour of soft-core porn at the beginning was better than the hour of "movie" that followed... and I'm not one for unnecessary sex scenes in movies.

I wonder how much if anything Quentin (Mr.Tarantino to the rest of you)had to do with this "film" I haven't seen it and probably won't.

I almost rented it last night, I got Dick and Jane instead...that movie could have been so good but the editing was so choppy and the movie was not that good.

Thanks for the heads up on the soft porn. My grandson loves scary movies. That one will be a no-no.

The movie really ISN'T totally "a Tarantino flick." The "Quentin Tarantino Presents" was highly misleading. Here's one such description of his involvement: "Many wonder what the "Quentin Tarantino Presents" headline stapled to Hostel denotes. First of all, it doesn't mean Hostel is Tarantino's creation. As Roth explains, Tarantino is a large advocate of the budding filmmaker. He occasionally has "movie nights" in which a gaggle of blossoming directors are invited to Tarantino's pad to check out some films. There, Tarantino riles up the directors and gets them psyched for their upcoming projects. After seeing Roth's first feature, Cabin Fever, Tarantino invited Roth to one such shindig and offered to help out with Hostel. Roth pumped out a first draft script, Tarantino helped with the edits, and agreed to offer the "Quentin Tarantino Presents" headline. From there, Roth took the reigns during the shooting process, and Tarantino returned to help out with post-production and MPAA rating strategies. Technically, Tarantino played Producer of Hostel, but in more ways than one, he was the film's mentor." (source: http://www.killermovies.com/h/hostel/reviews/n6x.html) I have heard nothing but really horrible things about this movie, and won't see it. I wonder if Tarantino regrets putting his name all over it -- well, probably not, since it did a lot of $ in its opening weekend.

It did have some nice gore scenes....if you like that sort of thing. But yeah, it was a bad movie.
