Am I Missing Something?
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
View MoreAdmittedly it is a large part of the problem, because the DVD promised something that turned out to be the complete opposite to what was advertised. However it's how badly done execution-wise that is even more of an issue. The only reasons why Nightmare Hostel isn't rated any lower by this viewer is because of Denise Duff, who does brighten up the screen, and the final 5-10 minutes, which were relatively fun. If it weren't for those things, Nightmare Hostel would have had no redeeming qualities at all. Technically it's a poor-looking movie, choppily edited and too dimly lit with sets that look like the movie was shot in a (very, very) deserted factory and make-up/effects that are just okay at best, and most of the time they don't even reach that. The story never seems to find the right tone, it is predictable rather than tense, leaden rather than thrilling, corny rather than fun and far too tame to be scary. The suspense, horror and violence levels were severely lacking, with almost every scene done in an awkward and uninterested way apart from the ending and maybe the sex scene. The dialogue is very juvenile and banal, kind of like student-film-student-who-got-nowhere quality, while the characters have no likability or life and the acting is not good either. John Kassir is wasted, Andrew Divoff also tries hard but can't do anything with what he has to work with but the worst case was Stephen Polk, whose wooden and annoying acting and his rather amateurish script are along with the story and atmosphere where Nightmare Hostel falls hardest upon. All in all, the advertising was misleading but even that still wouldn't have stopped the movie from being a complete nightmare in almost every way. 1/10 Bethany Cox
View MoreThis review pertains to the "Unrated Directors Cut" Where to begin on a film like this? First of all I have seen many, many horror movies, but never one quite like this. You will notice from the first five minutes that this film isn't exactly a "Hollywood" production, but I tried not to let that taint my review. The film revolves around a taxi-driver who has a bit of a rage problem and instead of facing jail time, decides to do some medical "research" There are a few minor twists and turns that I will leave for you to find out, but the bottom line is this movie never reaches the high expectations shown on its DVD Cover. The special effects are OK, the last five minutes are fair, but the overall mood of the movie never really reaches full effect.If you are a fan of odd, low budget, dialog movies, then you might actually find this one somewhat entertaining. The added sex scene provides at least some sort of excitement to an otherwise dull production.My rating 2 out of 10.
View MoreAlmost worth donkey dung. Based on actual events. Get real. A taxi driver, Michael Dare(Stephen Polk),accidentally harms a homeless man and instead of going to jail, his attorney(Karen Black)talks him into entering an anger management program. The program is carried out by Dr. Timothy Straun(Andrew Divoff), aka Dr. Rage, in an abandon warehouse. The beautiful Dr. Verger(Denice Duff)is his assistant that actually administers the treatments. Treatments? Painful injections that could possibly lead to torture and mutilation...in the name of medical research. Special effects; nothing special. Fear and interest factor are the same...none. Duff is the only reason to watch. Divoff is over the top to the point of being comical. Polk is credited with screenplay as well as producer.
View MoreThere were two good things about this movie. It ended, and I didn't buy it.The dialog was silly, the sets were thrift store rejects, the director was just one step above renting a barn and putting on a show, the lead character was stiff, and his nose moves with his upper lip. Karen Black should be ashamed. I guess you could tell its not one of my favorites I must say, that if they had intended to make a parody of a 1950's horror movie, they could have promoted it for laughs. There are a few giggles. If only the girl had sprained her ankle while running in heels up the stairs with the monster right behind her.
