Escalating blend of black humor and grisly goings-on in the wilds of Hungary fully delivers in its latter half.
Along with lots of pitch-dark humor, James Moran's often clever script is peppered with winks and nudges about the war on terror that helps distinguish the film from the recent spate of torture flicks.
A winning combination of laughs and genuine shocks.
The chintzy characters, hair-raising deaths, and one spectacular rocket-launcher joke aren't enough to give "Hostel" a run for its blood.

… only occasionally interesting, and the comedy isn't funny.
