Richard Roeper
This is just a predictable slice of slasher porn set in an exotic locale.
Scott Tobias
Touted as the first American production to be shot entirely in Brazil, Turistas may well be the last, if the country cares at all about its image.
Bill Stamets
[Director] Stockwell delivers too little of the dread and titillation this genre prescribes.
Peter Howell
Turistas is a passport to a different kind of vacation hell.
Mark Rahner
While comparisons to Hostel are inevitable Turistas rarely achieves its level of sustained menace and discomfort.
Mick LaSalle
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 contrast.
