I haven't watched HOSTEL. I saw WOLF CREEK and it was enough. There is a certain artistry to scaring people and I thought HIGH TENSION had those elements and was gory as hell. Okay the script wasn't the best but neither were the others. The music, sound design, and camera work were exceptional. It was a scary, bloody ride.
What I don't like is when they are too disturbing. It's not scary, gory, or the violence that bugs me, it's the disturbing part. I don't think it's necessary. We've got enough disturbing things in reality. I know one thing: travel doesn't seem like a safe thing to do according to these movies: Wolf Creek and Hostel. Next they'll make a movie about the canibal guy in Germany and human sacrafices in Mexico.
