I'm about sick of people slagging off this film how it starts so slow before it gets to the real horror. For fucks sake do you all need blood and gore in the first 10 minutes of every damn film you watch. Whats wrong with just getting to know characters and a simple plot? Yep the nudity was a little over the top and not at all realistic (well not in my experiance, strange that there were no woman slightly over weight naked), but come on all the classic slashers have tit shots to keep people interested. As for the not much happens, have people forgotten the Blair Witch (not singleling you out Return), I liked the film but really fuck all happens in that all the way through. People go camping and find pebbles and twigs in trees. But it still worked.
Hostel wasn't trying to be the best horror film every made just a bit different from the run of the mill Scream clones, Japanese remakes and classic horror remakes. I personlly found it very entertaining, especially the Wicker Man music whilst they were all shagging, classic. But no it didn't make my top 25 list as it won't have the longevity of other films.

I usually dont care if a movie doest get right off to blood and guts. I really enjoyed Wolf Creek, which certanly takes it's sweet time before any horror happens. The difference is that the stuff going on in Wolf Creek was interesting, it made you care to some extent about the characters. This just seemed like somewhere between a bad porno and a typical road trip movie. Even though that period was likely intended for character development, it failed horribly.
