Review of Turistas

Turistas (2006)
Surprising
30 March 2007
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!
