if you are looking for 2 great horror movies to see, these 2 are must sees! Misery is rather old, it is by Stephen King. Hostel is a few years old, but bothare the best movies i have seen in a very long time. You will see very realistic, gruesome scenes in both of these movies!
have you seen either of these movies?

I have seen both of these. I really Love Misery, and Catherine Bates. It is truly a great movie to see, and I can never seem to get enough of it as well. From someone who Loves to write it just makes me never want to have something like that happen though. As for Hostel, it is totally a different type of movie than Misery, but an interesting one as well. Thanks for bringing up as a reminder 2 great movies not worth missing.

I agree. They are the best movies I ever saw, and she does such a great job in Misery!

I have seen Misery so many times. Kathy Bates is so bad in this but I still love her. She is a great actress. They show it on TV alot. I have never heard of Hostel. I have to check this one out.


myLot reputation of 88/100. erikmama (1883)   ranked 757 out of 11,315 in watching movies  3 months ago

You think she is bad in this movie? i don't think they cuold have chosen a better actress for the part. I love both of these movies so much!


myLot reputation of 95/100. lelin1123 (4116)   ranked 1,732 out of 11,315 in watching movies  3 months ago

No I'm talking about how bad her character is in this movie. She is great I love her in all her movies. I was just saying she is protraying a bad person.

Hostel 1 and 2 are pretty good. If you want to see a good horror movie, check out Wolf Creek, its an Australian film really really good and scary plus gory. Also The Shining with Jack Nicolson is also a very decent flick as well

MISERY and HOSTEL are two very excellent gory horror movies that I've watched.
Kathy Bates is so devious and wicked so much so that she really scared the living daylights out of me. The torture scenes in the movie are extremely gross, not for the faint hearted.

HOSTEL gave me the shivers. Those American college buddies didn't know what evil they were getting into on their travels to a Slovakian town. The two European beauties, Natalya and Svetlana are scarier than you can ever imagine. w00t

I agree! In Hostel where he is breaking the guys toes just freaks me out so bad! I do not think there are any better horror movies to watch!

Quentin Tarantino puts his name all over everything he touches. Quentin Tarantino presents a Quentin Tarantino Production of a Quentin Tarantino Film. Even the two-part episode of CSI that he wrote and directed (which BTW was one of the best episodes of an amazing show). He didn't do that with Hostel. He let Eli Roth take all the credit for it. That, to me, was a screaming indication that it probably wasn't going to be the greatest film ever made. When a producer like Tarantino who likes having his name in big bold letters doesn't put his name in big bold letters on the movie poster, it doesn't bode well for the film. Plus I hate slasher movies. Almost always, they forgo plot in the interest of gore and high velocity spatter.

Misery was pretty awesome, though.

Well, to like these movies you definatley need to like hooror flicks, and I do. And I think they are both the gretest movies ever!

Well if you do not lie horror movies I guess they are not appealing to you. I thought the eyeball was really gross too, but not as believeable as some of the other scenes. Most of the scary movies now adays are rated PG13. They do not make them like they use to. How do you make a scary PG movie??

Never heard someone called Hostel "great" before. It was always "Hostel sucks" but I never agreed with it. I always thought it's decent movie but far from great. The worst thing about Hostel are characters imo. I just didn't care about them at all. Actually, I kinda wished they'll die in a very painful way so no suspense for me there. Sequel was piece of crap.

If you like brutal (torture) movies like Hostel, watch "Wolf Creek" or "Martyrs".


I have yet to see Misery but I remember I've seen some scenes from it on youtube.

Oh my.. Martyrs.. What a brilliant movie that was.. Way better that Hostel in terms of plot and characters!
As for Hostel, it's all about the torture scenes.. I liked it though, it was an ok movie with an interesting idea for a plot. But in the end the plot was actually missing:p
I'd recommend some other "torture" movies that are far more gruesome and brutal than Hostel(and better), like Cannibal Holocaust(*spoiler*(?)the animal killings are by far the most disturbing and cruel thing you'll ever see in a movie but unfortunately they happened..) and Men Behind The Sun.


myLot reputation of 79/100. Bionicman (1382)   ranked 179 out of 11,315 in watching movies  3 months ago

Frontier(s) was pretty cool too


myLot reputation of 88/100. erikmama (1883)   ranked 757 out of 11,315 in watching movies  3 months ago

OMG! I can not see a true horror movie fan calling Hostel a bad movie by any means. it is one of the best I have saw in a long time. i will watch it over and over again! Part 2 is a different story....
Misery is a great movie also.

i love both movies too! i am a stephen king fanatic so i try to watch all movie adaptations of his novels. misery is a very good book. cathy bates did a really good job in that movie. i like hostel too. really gory and all.


myLot reputation of 88/100. erikmama (1883)   ranked 757 out of 11,315 in watching movies  3 months ago

GREAT! Someone is finally in agreement with me as to both of the movies!! I love them! Hostel is the last really scary movie I saw, and Misery is just an all time favorite!
