Hostel is probably the most "horror movie" horror movie ever. Boobs, gore, grossness, camp, and wonderfully outdated dialogue. It's a stew with some really great broth, the problem is it's missing the meat and potatoes.
Tonally speaking the movie was a lot goofier than I expected, far from a bad thing just not what I was expecting. Particularly the stuff with the kids consistently felt like a weird bit of comedic relief from a movie that would arguably be better…
