Review of Turistas

Turistas (2006)
1/10
Absolute waste of time
10 December 2006
I never go to the movies, but I decided to take a couple of friends to see this. I had heard somewhere (forgive my forgetfulness regarding the source) that Turistas was a scarier and better movie than Hostel. These two friends of mine saw Hostel and loved it; I was not impressed with Hostel. So I thought we might all like Turistas.

This movie develops so slowly that I was dying waiting for something to happen. And it wasn't like the "good" kind of waiting, where everything that is happening leads up to thrills and chills and becomes a very important part of the plot. The plot of the movie could have been done so much better. Turistas is nothing close to Hostel (which again, I was not impressed with).

There are no scary parts whatsoever. The nudity in the movie is sparse and simple (so if you are looking for or expecting more than that you will be disappointed).

I was so embarrassed to have suggested this movie to my friends. I feel like it was an absolute waste of time and money (and unlike others here, I only spent 5.75). It isn't even a movie worth saying "at least I've seen it." If you think Turistas is a good film, I really think you haven't seen much of anything that is actually good.
