Turistas VS. Hostel

Turistas WINS!!! This movie is much better than Hostel. Everything about this film is great. I love Melissa George, who gave an amazing performance. The gore is great and the scenes are very intense. Highly recommended.... Full review

Sad excuse for a horror movie.

First of all the story has no substance and is not even a little scary. Instead it is just really messed up and really dwells on the messed up parts. The movie is relly boring otherwise. The acting is horrible and... Full review

Perhaps "Turistas 2" will end up with a greater focus on the gore and gristle if someone moves ahead with plans for a sequel. Playing on fears of claustrophobia, drowning, and the helplessness of being far from home and help, "Turistas" is nonetheless a subdued story that ends quietly, almost peacefully. ... Full Review

Not to damn with faint praise but Turistas may actually be the best film of this completely unimaginative subgenre.....until then gives a pretty engaging performance.....This thriller stays lurid, thankfully.....don't worry, it's just a passing thought, not some pretentious need to "elevate" a lurid thriller.....It's not really scary so much as it's unpleasant.... ...

And still, Turistas can't stop there, turning its ideological pretense back around on itself.....yet, the film suggests, they are so unthinkingly presumptive and privileged....Agreeing to a wild night, these crazy kids run headlong into a wholly predictable plot (including dancing and hazy, handheld-camera point of view shots, and a surprise for Finn when he learns the lovely Gaughinian "Native Girl" actually wants money in exchange for the sex she's granted him).....To be sure, the titular characters appea ...

The so-called Third World wreaks vengeance on a bevy of beautiful Caucasians in Turistas . If this portion of the adventure lacks originality, Turistas does demonstrate explicitly what you already know because youve seen Hostel : tourists, especially American tourists, are the new girls in horror movies. ...

Alas, the movie doesn't properly exploit that. The film's star Josh Duhamel is pretty too, but he's also a decent actor. They discover a beautiful, out of the way beach complete with a rocking bar and a sexually liberated singles scene. ... Full Review
