After seeing the first Hostel movie written and directed by Eli Roth in 2005, I was extremely sad and totally grossed out! I couldn't believe that I actually sat through that and watched it all the way through. It made me think how awful people could be to each other. I would never wish that sort of treatment on anyone. The thing that really scared me though was to think that here is this writer that sat down and wrote the whole story in such awful detail. How can someone think of this? I'm sure Mr. Roth would never hurt anyone for real, but it is still disturbing to think about.
As if that wasn't enough for me, I was forced to sit through Hostel Part II last night. It was awful to see all of that torture. I have to admit that I was not as shocked this time because I was sort of prepared from the first one. That is another thing that is disturbing; we see things like this in movies and we start to become numb to it. We in a way are getting used to seeing such violence on the big screen. This is not the direction our society needs to be going. What ever happened to ghost movies to scare us? We are bored with that I suppose.
One thing we are never tired of though is a great comedy. Let's continue to bring more comedy and lighten things a little :).
