Youd be correct if you think by the trailer that Turistas sounds an awful lot like a rehashing of Eli Roth's Hostel. Yes its young Tourist in unknown places, and yes it has lots of T&A. That aside, Turistas is a much more well rounded movie than Hostel. Director John Stockwell loves these kind of tropical enviroments as the back drop of his movies. With movies like Blue Crush, and Into the Blue Stockwell has got a nack for using water to build tension. Turistas does everything right that Roth's Hostel did wrong. The major diffrence here is a more seasoned and professional director and a bit more story developement. Some of the underwater scenes in this movie are amazing. Just think of this movie as Hostel with a plot. Casting was well done and the movie is really more of a thriller than a horror movie. I liked the movie a great deal, it was entertaining, and awesome to look at. Im not going to call it a the best horror movie ive seen all year because i think that would not be fair to the movie. Its just a great thriller, and overall a pretty great flick.
I give it 3 rollos
