I caught this low-rent thriller movie the other night. It looks like a combination of soft porn and a slasher-type thriller. The plot concerns a bunch of beautiful young people, travelling in rural Brazil. the bus they are on crashes, so they find their was to a seaside bar, where they are all welcomed. They enjoy the beach, and drink all night-in the morning, they wake to find all their stuff stolen. Later on, they fall into the hands of a mad doctor, who starts anestheisizing them and cutting their organs out-pretty gory.
At any rate, this seems to be a takeoff on the old urban legend about travelers getting knocked out and finding a kidney missing. Has there ever been a case of this in Brazil?
I thought it went the other way-cutting organs out of poor children 9for sale to rich foreigners). This guy was doing the reverse.
I did see it. I’d have to classify it as totally forgettable since I have forgotten almost all of it.
It’s just a Hostel/Saw rip-off if memory serves - Hostel in the sense that travelers are involved and Saw in the sense that it’s a single crazy person tormenting them. If memory serves, it really doesn’t address the urban legend of organ stealing.
It’s just another derivative B-horror movie, though I remember it being less bad than many in the same genre. Mimic something successful, throw $100,000 at it… profit?
Melissa George and Olivia Wilde; what’s not to love?
I remember it too, although vaguely - also wasn’t part of the problem started because some street kid stole one of the Bros hat’s and he chased the kid down and hit him in the head with a rock or something? therefore starting the “entitled westerners must die” moments?
I thought it was alright for what it was but preferred Saw 1 and Hostel 1
It’s in play on late night cable TV right now. I’ve seen bits of it, nothing to make me think it would be worth watching.
More like $10 million.
