I must admit that I do not like gore film. I've always been in favor of a horror film more suggestive than explicit, so consider that when a film has to pull his guts to impress the public, is already half the battle lost. However, there are times when (as happens with highly charged scenes sexual) such images are extremely justified by a script or a story that really lend themselves to it. " Hostel" is a clear example of this myself. A film that managed to impress not only by the images that she showed us, but especially for the background that the story seemed to be back. As when, in the mid-nineties, an unknown Alejandro Amenabar that introduced the world debut called "Thesis " woke up the debate on how much truth and fiction could be in so-called snuff movies " Hostel "certainly woke another similar contest, but this time in the XXI century.
Ultimately what" Hostel "was not telling us anything new. We talk about the staging of certain urban legends they run word of mouth and the Internet found the perfect breeding ground for proper expansion
n. A macabre legends circulating around the low value of human life against the power of money, embodied in the abhorrent practices of some unbalanced millionaire whose vast power they had to focus in a somewhat "different" their own sexuality. This critique of capitalist society in this film was shown in a so clear and explicit that only she already had more strength than any of the grotesque images that we could see throughout the film. True, the pace of the first half was slow, then reveled in aspects of the plot certainly expendable, but so is that thanks to this "Hostel " managed to create an atmosphere of reality and an identification with the characters main so high that would make the second part of the tape was even more startling. Mystical
