Know what you mean. Horrors are getting a bit too (almost) realistic these days. They used give you white knuckles and ten a feeling of resolution when you left the cinema, like Jaws for instance. Now it's just how much gore they can put into 2 hours and leave you not wanting to trust anyone. It used to be an art, to scare you witless yet still tell a good story. Now the story has been lost and it's all the same but trying to out-do each other on the way these people are killed. Sure just look at Saw. The first one was a very good. Intense, thilling and a little scary. Then as the sequels racked up, just turned into a gore fest. I find Hostel to be the lowest of the low in this genre. Just an excuse to get young girls naked and then carve them up. It's only one step away from real snuff movies.
Sounds like the one alright. There was a couple of movies around that time with the same premise. The remake of Funny Games was another one. I wanted to walk out of that one too. Not because it was sick but it was SO bad. 2 emo kids terrorising a couple. The emos were just not intimidating in any way and the acting from them was brutal. One movie around the same premise that I enjoyed was Wolf Creek. Set in Australia. That was freaky.
