Gee Whizz what a load of dribble. Tries to be Hostel, gore check, story nadda, acting... yikes don't even go there. Takes a good hour before we get some horror, and then it's just like die already.
PredicTable beyond belief, zero chemistry between the cast and a nauseating endin...( read more)

Finn: I hate this! I don't like it at all. I like beaches, and drinking and girls. In all the ads, they say "Come to Brazil. We've got beaches and drinking and girls." They don't say, "we've got vicious angry mobs that chase you into the jungle."
If you thought you had good tim...( read more) -

This movie was SO gross! The part where the girl had her kidneys taken out was super graphic. It was a pretty boring movie at first, but the end was better.

So predictable, that I not only predicted who was going to die, but also in the correct order. It follows so many "rules" that I was not shocked or amazed by anything; only the bad dialogue.

It's better than Wolf Creek, and far better than Hostel, so it's alright. I think the characters are agreeable and sympathetic. The setting is...well it looks like beautiful Brazil should look. Of course this concept is tired, so the movie has to be tight or satirical; this movie...( read more)

Starts out looking to be a good thriller but soon you soon realize that everybody in the film has a below average IQ which takes away from the overall enjoyment. Gave it a star and a half for good casting on attractive women.

Some halfway interesting/sympathetic characters, pretty good acting, and incredible bikinis boost this tale of terror slightly above the norm. Not dissimilar in story arc to the greatly inferior 'Hostel' as vacationers in Brazil stumble upon a beachfront paradise only to be lure...( read more)

Turistas" eventually succumbs to the one unforgivable sin in a horror movie: It's dull. full review
It's fitting that, in a season in which Hollywood offers up its prestige pictures -- the ones it hopes will garner critics' prizes and Academy Awards -- Turistas should come along to offer a bit of co... full review
It gallops along with a suspenseful, dead-on sense of dread. full review
Turistas has mastered the international language: stupidity. full review
Unpleasant but never really suspenseful, the new teen torture thriller Turistas causes only a dull, predictable pain. full review
As usual, there's a streak of murderous puritanism in the carnage. full review
With Turistas, director John Stockwell cements his status as contemporary Hollywood's most accomplished exhibitor of the female behind. full review

March 16, 2009Im a bit baffled by the negative reviews of this one, yes its no masterpiece but its is miles removed from the dross it seems to be labelled as!

April 2, 2008Nice back packing holiday around Brazil, then the bus your travelling in has an accident * you survive * [[ my advice - wait with the others for the next bus ]].... Do not go to the beautiful beach, do not drink the drugged alcohol ---- there fore you wont wake up with your belongings gone, and in the end have your organs cut out your body ---- * Wait for the next bus *

April 1, 2007beside it just a movie it could be scary if you picture yourself in that situation in a foreign country, foreign language without nothing money passport cloth its just scary .. from the point of view of a brazilian its offensive cause that could happen anywhere any country to anyone even USA !!
how come if they get robbed they dont have clothes they always show up with different swimsuits even the girl that doesn have the upper part have another swimsuit in another part, and yeah right barefeet thru all the jungle !!
