An average movie

My God… This must be one of the most disappointing horror movies I have ever seen… The point is that beforehand, I was told the first half was really like pornographic and the second half was some very hardcore unsettling horror stuff. But, eventually, none of it was true. Above all, I thought the first half was just reall tepid. Indeed, first, they get in Netherlands where everybody speak German…. For someone living 10 years in Holland, it is quite unacceptable and just plain stupid. But then, those guys get to Slovakia where they were supposed to find this hotel where they will have the greatest sex orgy ever but, eventually, the only thing they find are 2 reasonably good-looking chicks, that’s it. Was it really worth all this hassle?!? I thought it was just so underwhelming, I really had a hard time caring about the rest of this flick. Then, the butchery started and I have to admit it was not that bad. Indeed, the concept was pretty decent but, still, it was nothing really horrifying, in my opinion. Once again, the whole thing was truly overblown. Eventually, even though it is not a really bad horror movie, the whole thing is just so dim-witted, it made it really hard for me to enjoy it. I think it was actually a step back for Eli Roth since I thought that ‘Cabin Fever’ was pretty good and way more interesting than this second directing effort. Anyway, to conclude, in my opinion, it is a very overrated and rather weak horror flick and it is not really worth a look, except if you really like the genre.
