January always seems like a throw-away month when it comes movies (remember Boll’s last movie? Yeah, that was released in January too… wait a minute, I’m seeing a trend here…), but the buzz coming out of the Toronto Film Festival this year has been relatively positive for HOSTEL, so what’s the deal?
Of course, along with the positive buzz, there’s also been reports of people fainting in the audience due to HOSTELS graphic violence. Wait. As far as I’m concerned, that is positive buzz on the movie!
We may never know Lions Gate’s reasons for ditching HOSTEL in January, but I’ll be there opening day regardless to check this sick puppy out!
