Hostel Ratings & Reviews
Associated Press
Christy Lemire
Whether or not this kind of horror movie is your cup of tea, you have to at least admire Roth for the daring and creativity with which he illustrates that concept.
Nolan's Pop Culture Review
Michael A. Smith
...no one is going to mistake "Hostel" for a travelogue, unless they are looking for a journey full of terror.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
Hostel's merely unpleasant and more than a little dumb.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
There's a feeling of not quite hitting the mark here.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
All this in a 94-minute movie that takes 45 minutes getting started!
Newsday
Jan Stuart
Although I spent much of the second half staring into my lap while listening to a cacophony of screams and shop tools, I processed enough of the first to appreciate Roth's sinister evocation of a Slovakian provincial town.
Boxoffice Magazine
Tim Cogshell
Is there a point? No. Will you like it? Perhaps, but if you do... you should see someone about that.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Wants to be preeminent shock cinema, but doesn't have the [courage] to fully follow through on its promise of unbridled carnage.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
If last year was the beginning of the end for horror films, Roth shows there is still life - life in death - in the old girl yet.
Village Voice
Mark Holcomb
The film is too casually misanthropic and enamored of its expulsive prosthetic virtuosity to be politically relevant, and it's not clear what response -- shame? outrage? titillation? -- Roth is after.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
The tone is too schizophrenic for the movie to be great, but writer/director Eli Roth is showing serious potential.
Zap2it.com
Daniel Fienberg
Occasionally, the film even cuts beneath the skin (thematically), but don't expect enough political subtext to distract genre fans or to convince the uninitiated of its merits
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Hostel is a screaming good time, marred only by a lazy ending.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
[The film] willfully takes us someplace cruel -- and deeply unfunny. Just because that's Roth's intention doesn't mean his movie is any good.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Even after an outré punch line is revealed, the film is neither shocking nor adequately terrifying.
The Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
Eli Roth turns to modern-day Asian fright filmmakers as inspiration for his latest blood-soaked effort while demonstrating an intriguing, original voice of his own.
New York Times
Nathan Lee
The calculated outrages of Eli Roth's brutal exploitation film prove less shocking that its relentless bigotry.
Variety
John Anderson
Portrayed the way Transylvania was in a 1930s vampire film, with lascivious beauties intent on seducing and drugging their unwitting American dates so they can be fed into the machinery of recreational death.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Roth, by presenting his characters as victims of the same world of flesh-for-fantasy they were grooving on in the first place, digs deep into the nightmare of a society ruled by the profit of illicit desire.
Slant Magazine
Jeremiah Kipp
When extreme, body-crunching violence is inflicted on these pigs, the playing field gets leveled.
