Hostel killed this movie


It's no longer the only one of its kind.
Besides, Hostel is much more effective, as it has *thrills*, while guinea pig is loosely based on torture only.

IMO Hostel was pants - It had too much of a generic hollywood feel to it.

reply

IMO Guinea Pig was just a bunch of guys making an experiment (sort of)
It did not have any value beside the special effects.

no hostel is not the second
find psycho the snuff or agust underground

I feel you are all forgetting that, even by today's standards, GP's effects are very well done. So, if you feel faintly sickened even if you've already watched movies like Hostel (modern horror), just imagine how people felt back then, when there was serious doubt as to whether Devil's Experiment was real or not.

"It's no longer the only one of its kind."

Riiight. I rest my case. It never was the only one of its kind, especially not if you consider Hostel to be in the same league.

And Hostel equals pants, indeed.

reply

Honestly, I wanted those retarded guys in Hostel to get tortured. Guinea Pig completely focuses on the torture. It doesn't play out like some lame Teen flick.

I have also heard that The August Underground is the "new Guinea Pig," not Hostel.

reply

Bleh, also, Hostel was such an obvious rip off of Audition.

I mean, of course, the movies were different, but the pacing was similar.... how it built up to the torture parts and how you were supposed to be shocked once the first guy got tortured.

reply

August Underground is the best thing that happened to faux-snuff since Guinea Pig, indeed.

reply

are you kiddin me? hostel and all that crappy mainstream movies are child's toys compared to the first two series of guinea pig. not even that crappy august mordum gay film and svd

reply

I openly whine about mainstream movies because it doesn't justify how smart and independent i am. I endorse the original films produced by people you haven't heard of or, is or are from a foreign land! My measure of coolness is accurate.

Hostel was so over hyped that everyone knows its just another bad horor movie about 20 somthing kids being cut up off-screen.

reply

KYO = YUM!!

Yes, yes, and yes. I think a good portion of the Guinea Pig series flat out sucks [ He Never Dies, Devil Doctor Woman and The Greatest Cuts compilation are all pathetic, in my opinion ], but when the series gets it right, it's very effective and lives up to the hype.

Haha, Hostel is far superior to this, commercialized as it may be.

reply

I didn't like Hostel that much.The only scene where I cringed,was there the girls' toe or figner got cut off,and where the guys ankles were slashed.It's okay,for thrills,but yeah Guinea Pig is more torture.

Out by sixteen or dead on the scene,but together forever

reply

Hostel sucked....a lot. So did this, but not as bad as Hostel.

reply

Hostel has a plot and character development. Guinea Pig is 90 minutes of torture.
Yeah, I'll take Hostel.
