Turistas

I first saw this in 2007 on a dvd which I own.

Revisited it recently.

Agree its the same old stuff in new settings but the film has some amazing under water sequences, nice locations, good babes n it is a bit frightening, especially after the detailed evisceration sequence.

Mind you, it is not at all a Hostel rip off. I hated Hostel as it is pure torture porn. This one is like a survival thriller.

The cage scenes are shot in darkness and one cannot make out what is going on. Also what happens to the character Liam is never shown. (He decides to stay behind to fight back, only to be shot in the leg and captured). But aft how the movie ended, one expected to see the fate of Liam.

Watched it last night, with pretty much no great expectations of it. Maybe a scare or too, but I really was expecting poor acting. Yet, to my surprise the movie holds its own very nicely. Good acting by all, the girls were cute, with some decent nudity as well, which always adds a little to a good horror flick. The best thing about this movie was its ability to use Paranoia. Not necessarily the Hitchcock form, but still for a big budget horror movie, its vibe and atmosphere is very solid. I found myself being a little scared, for no apparent reason, which is a good thing for a horror/slasher to do. overall, good movie, good young acting, great scares, and just a cool movie to chill and watch with some friends. check it out.

I saw this movie despite it's bad rating, and I must say that it wasn't at all bad. Good production values, great soundtrack and a somewhat believable story. I think a lot of people would've found it better had they not expected a horror movie. Sure there's blood and guts in it, but it's more of an adventure-movie in the sense that the good-guys, bad-guys ratio evens things up. What it does lack however is a satisfying ending and a subplot that would given an added depth to the characters. I still think it deserves a 5 rating as it's different than most movies, it doesn't follow the standard 'stupid-people walking straight into doom' recipe. It's beautifully shot at locations that I'd love to see in real life. It did get a notch or two higher for the effort. If the last 15 minutes of it had been a bit more scary and gruesome I'd definitely would've given it a 6 or a 7. If you are after a Texas Chainsaw-kind of deal you are most likely looking in the wrong direction, but if you are not, then this might tickle the fright in you just enough for it to be worth renting.

I agree with McGreysFan, this film is much better than you would expect. It is not a horror it is a thriller and I suspect that the reason it has been rated so low is that the people voting on it are of the 18-24 demographic.

this is a good thriller, not a slash and splatter horror, which I am not in to really because they are always a bunch of dumb teens running around and screaming. Terrible acting with no real story.

This film had good acting, a good story and I enjoyed it, I almost didn't watch it because I was put off by the IMDb rating of it. One thing though, the English guy Finn I think his name was, man did he do my head in, I am English and I found him incredibly annoying.

As a comparison I would say this film was much better than Hostel which I would give a 2 this I would rate as a five. It was an adult film. A decent thriller with which I was pleasantly surprised.

I was really upset when my boyfriend wanted to spend twenty bucks on this movie, but now I have changed my opinion.

I was expecting a Hostel rip-off cause that is what everyone said it was. But it was NOTHING like Hostel. It had OK acting, and pretty good character development.

Now I am all for bloody, violent, disgusting, vulgar horror movies. But I was glad to see this one wasn't really a horror movie, more of a thriller. The amount of violence was good. Anything more would have been simply for shock value, and I was glad to see a story survive without too much shock value. The pace of the film kept you interested, and the twists (although somewhat predictable) were fun to watch and kept you wondering what was next.

I personally liked watching this movie. I don't see why everyone ripped on it so much. To anyone who likes a good horror movie, or a good thriller, give this one a chance, and you might like it!
