Movie Review - Hostel

So hearing that people were passing out in theaters across the country wasn't enough to deter Christy and me from going and seeing Hostel last night. Contrary to what Christy says, I was able to sit thru the whole movie. I did have a gross pre-puke feeling in my stomach/throat from the time of the first gore scene until well after we went and rented 40 Year Old Virgin. We dealt with the absolute disgusting imagery and all around disturbing premise of Hostel by laughing the whole time. I was actually very surprised by the lack of any reaction by the other 200+ people in the theater. While watching it I began to wonder if they were "in on it". Maybe the general public really is desensitized to stuff like this...

I'll give the movie 2 disembodied fingers...I don't know if they are up or down...but they are definitely separated from their host body...
