I thought Hostel was awful. Why? The characters were impossible to care about. When one doesn't care about the characters, the film quickly becomes boring. With nothing to draw the viewer in, there is no emotional attachment. I spent the first 45 minutes wondering if I received the wrong disc from Netflix. When the torture started, I thought that it might at least be somewhat interesting. It wasn't. I did not care whether the characters lived or died. All in all, it reminded me of watching a bad football game where one doesn't care who wins.
