"Hostel" is considered as a controversial movie, because it is very cruel, but I think "SAW" much more
sadistic than "Hostel".
Ordinary story, though "Hostel" was inspired by a true story, about the young tourists who were abducted from the United States to become victims of the brutality of rich people in Slovakia, which had a strange hobby or pleasure, they like slaughtering people in sadistic ways before killing them, such as drilling in the thigh victim drill wear, splitting the chest of the victim, the victim's eyes gouged out in a conscious state, cut the toes and the victim's hand slowly, and others.
They were slaughtered in a specific place, the former a factory
outside the city far from the settlement. It has special rooms equipped with the tools
massacre, ranging from screwdrivers, pliers, until the chain saw to cut trees for timber.
Hostel was less intelligent than SAW. Than "Hostel", SAW has a technique carried out the massacre victims in the form of the game, which allows the victim to save himself, though the possibility is very slim. Many unexpected element of SAW movie, including actors actually difficult to predict. In my opinion, value added in this movie (Hostel) because it produced by Quentin Tarantino, the rest standard.
