i'm sure people on this site have commented on these movies already, but i don't have time to go through hundreds of threads hoping i don't repeat someone's review... so i'll be a dick a start a new thread! anyshit, i recently watched eil roth's cabin fever and hostel b/c i was getting sick of my friends asking me about them. i wasn't impressed... now, i can be a pretty tough film critic let alone horror movie critic and these movies just didn't live up to their hype. hostel was a bit better than fever, but both (i thought) were inconsistent. it seemed like just when the scene was getting interesting something stupid would happen or an actor would say something out of character. hostel had some great scenes like in the end when jay hernandez's character is trying to escape the torture mill and runs into one of the customers or the 1st torture scene envolving the gay friend. also fever had one or two good scenes as well (when the main character turns over his decaying girlfriend and she's still alive but the flesh around her mouth has rotted away). but a handful of cool scenes do not make a movie good and these fell short of my expectations...
