My guess is it'll still be better than Hostel.

GT, i'll await your review! 

My city gets every bad horror movie, but we didn't get this one. I'm so bummed. If it isn't here in a few weeks, I swear I'm road tripping to just see it.

This was no Hostel. It didn't even have one ounce of the gore that Roth's film had, or even a story concept. It's the kind of horror film that has the one sentence pitch and fills in the rest with suspense and scares; it had neither which is why it felt so empty. And it must have the slowest pursuit chase ever filmed: Heroes swim underwater, come up for air in a pocket, breathe, move on. Bad guy swims after them, comes up for air in a pocket, breathes, continues.
