Hostel

I saw 'Hostel' last night and I am not sure if I have recovered fully from it. The film is presented by Quentin Tarantino (whatever that means) and directed by Eli Roth. It has a lot of blood and gore and sometimes you wonder what is going on. I am a fan of Quentin Tarantino and have liked almost all his movies. Did I hate the film? No. Did I love it? No. I am somewhere in-between. It is not a film to be seen twice. But I think the best part of film is how the entire torture chamber/blood zone is due to people wanting thrills. So there is this torture chamber where you an torture a human being in any fashion or do whatever you want to them. It is a thrill zone (for the lack of a better term) for those people in society who get their thrills from torturing people or burning someone's eye with a flame thrower. So if you want to slice off someone's ankle to see how they would walk or drill a few holes in the chest, you go to the thrill zone. Why do they do it? Just for kicks! As an economist, I had to agree with the idea that such a thrill zone has to exist. Where there is demand, there has to be supply.
