I'm glad Roth doesnt really have to resort to the 'scary thing all of a sudden gains retard strength and jumps out of holes everywhere' to scare people, but he doesnt really bring much tension or gross out value here either. maybe Hostel really does up the ante, but I expected it to be here :/ and I should say, yes, i knew in advance it was also a bit of a black comedy and it doesnt take itself that seriously… i’m simply saying I expected what was supposed to be gruesome… to actually be gruesome.

To be honest, for so long because of all the talk about this movie, and about Hostel being so gross and pushing the limit, etc - I think I was actually kind of SCARED to watch this movie. So how disappointed was I to find that I didnt find this movie disgusting. at all. I mean really, parts of bodies rot, they puke up blood, the kid from Boy Meets World kills some people, and theres a child who bites people. and a lame racist joke gets turned on its head lamely. I didnt hate Cabin Fever. It was completely watchable and certainly more enjoyable than most horror movies, but I can't believe people thought this was all that scary or grotesque. Is Hostel grosser? to what degree? because after this, I"m not scared to watch that anymore either. I FINALLY, watched Cabin Fever tonight.
