Tourista = Horror?

Tourista certaintly caught my eye when I saw the preview for this movie in the cinema.Besides the gore and some horror scenes, I was definitely expecting more than just that. I really love scary and horror movies (don't ask me why, but I just love it), however, this movie was rather disappointing or at least it didn't satisfy me at all or got me freak out.

It was mentioned by critics that Tourista will be better and scarier than Hostel (for those who did not watch Hostel, this is really a good show to freak you out) which was not at all in the case. A very mediocre plot with some good looking actress though. The flaw was that the horror part was too short to actually called it a horror show. However, it was partially compensated by lots of skimply dressed actress (to the delight of my partner), a great and lovely beach and a lovely river with underground caves. This movie does have it's potential, just need a little more fine tuning in making the horror portion longer.

For those who are going to catch Tourista over the weekends, it is basically a horror movie about American tourists in Brazil and some really bad things happened to them when their bus crashed and they were forced to take a detour......and yes, that is when the so-called 'horror' begins... (I won't ruin it further for those who haven't seen it yet)

PS: Now, I am wondering if Brazil should be my next tourist vacation. :P

Hello,

I am a nursing student in florida. I watched the movie and thought it was kind of stupid. Then I found out some really sick people actually do this. Many people from other countries are poor and sell thier organs for quick cash. Men and women in some countries are drugged and their organs are removed and they wake up with scars and have no clue what happened. It is sad that a lot of americans get these organs and this is a very big black market.
