Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: 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.
Rotten: Folks might find a bit of post-Iraq angst insinuated into the script, but any hint of social initiative in a movie this formulaic would be strictly coincidental.
Rotten: Turistas has mastered the international language: stupidity.
Rotten: [Director] Stockwell delivers too little of the dread and titillation this genre prescribes.
Customer Reviews
Sexy and scary
This movie is filled with beautiful girls in the beginingg but it is terrifying later on. If you are the type who likes hot chicks and terror, this is the movie for you!
Turistas
On a random side-note, is Turistas what Ghouls say in warcraft 3? Just curious. This movie literally made me scared of foreign countries for a week, I mean it's scary because it actually happens. That's why I'm glad I don't drink alcohol so I can just bring my own stuff. Heh well the world isn't that scary, Turistas if not scary is definitely a good thriller. It's a bit gorey and definitely not for the kiddies or squeamish people. I like it though it's not like a "Here's some gore, now look at the bouncing boobies! Oh wait, more organs!" kinda crap, it's actually very well written and executed. I have to say it's one of my favorite movies that I didn't expect. It's a definite rent, I'm not sure if most people could watch it again but I will. Oh and a little spoiler alert, the part where the girl gets cut open then they remove like tons of muscle tissue, what's really creepy is the stuff they use only makes it so you can't scream or move much, you can still feel it. Ugh Well 5/5 or 10/10 for me.
Buy it!!!
At first, i just rented this movie because it looked good. But after I watched it, i immediately went back and purchased it! It's amazingly written to be suspenceful and terrifying, yet cold with just a hint of creepy, all at the same time. the writers do a great job of building the characters in the beginning, so that way you actually care if they live or die by the end. over all, i give it 5 stars. dont waste your money renting it, just buy it the first time!
