Customer Reviews of Turistas (Unrated Edition)
Urban Legend in Brazil This was a decent movie, but why was it advertised as a horror movie? This would fall under the catagory of "Mad Scientist" movie. This movie could have been set anywhere in the world.This movie was advertised as if the vacationers would run into a monster in a foriegn country. From that viewpoint , I was disapointed. But for sheer intertainment, it was pretty good, except for the fact that, as I keep repeating, you cannot have most of the action appear without some form of lighting. If we cannot see what is going on, it takes away from the movie. To be honest, if not for Josh Duhmal, this would have been a great "movie of the week". <
>His "rising star" status lifted the movie to major motion picture status. <

>Had I known this wasn't a horror movie, I would not have bought it. Great to rent; not a great buy.
Familiar Situation, Somewhat novel premise.
`Turistas', written by Michael Arlen Ross and directed by John Stockwell promises to be one of the `new style' horror flicks, in the same league as `Hostel' or maybe `Descent'. I find that while the venue, the horror, and the escape may offer fresh twists, this does tend to be new wine in old skins, with all the Biblical dangers that involves.

>In its simplest terms, it is another telling of the story of seemingly bright teenagers doing something colossally stupid, thereby landing them in a life-threatening situation. None of that should really give much away. Unlike the `Saw' and `Ring' franchaises, the attraction is less in what happens than in how it happens, and I will endeavor to say nothing more about this than what you may have seen in the trailer.

>One thing which reduced the impact for me of the movie's better scenes is the fact that they were done in semi-darkness. Unfortunately director Stockwell is no Ridley Scott, the master of the dark ambiance (See `Alien' and `Blade Runner'). I would offer that horrific scenes in such great flicks as `Marathon Man' and `Silence of the Lambs' work just as well or even better for taking place in full light. An even better case for good lighting may be some of Stanley Kubrick's best scenes from `The Shining', where he had all the excuses in the world for doing things in the dark. While the dark may have been necessary in `The Descent', it was not necessary in `Turistas' except in two excellent series of scenes on which I will say no more.

<
>While it is never a major requirement in B horror movies (unless your director happens to be Quentin Tarantino), the acting in this movie seems to be just a bit better than average.
<

<
>My last criticism is that the movie did not milk its novel situation as well as it could have, in order to distinguish it from other movies which used the same premise, but not in the `horror' genre.
<

<
>The director's commentary is always a welcome addition to any DVD. I did not, however, consider this one notably better than any other commentary; certainly not on the level of my favorites from indie director, Kevin Smith.

<
>An interesting, somewhat original, and reasonably terrifying effort.

great movie, great scenary
I'm only writing a review of Turistas because the lower ratings I saw it getting. I watched the unrated version last night and it kept my attention all the way through. I think it has a great combination of everything that makes a good movie. Not that it is the greatest movie ever made, but it is 100 times better than a ton of movies out the last year. The setting is beautiful, there is comedy and terror.
<
>Nothing is OVER done, the little nudity and gore that this movie has is very tastefully done and not just there to try to shock the viewer.
<
>It is NOT a gore movie. I think the trailer very well represents exactly what the movie is, which is rare these days. I would not even compare this to Hostil... that was a 10 on the gore meter, and Turistas is more like a 5 at most. Highly recommended FUN MOVIE!
