Turistas (go home)

Post by Neziroth »

Saw this the other night, it was a decent flick.

The new horror trend is more of a suspense / gross out type of thing I guess, because this was right up there with the SAW movies.
[Show]
A disgruntled Brazilian man is fed up with americans coming to brazil to have sex and party so he kidnaps them and steals both their kidneys and their livers while they're still very concious (although drugged) so that he can sell them on the black market.
It was suspenseful at times, but it had the typical sexy twenty somethings with perfect bodies and no acting skills all over the place.

A lot of the portugese isn't subtitled, I was lucky enough to go to the movie with a friend who speaks fluent portugese after spending a year in brazil (which is the reason she wanted to see this movie so badly) and she translated all of the background conversations between the bad guys. I think it helped out the movie a lot.

Anyhow, if you want a quick thrill and some pretty graphic scenes, go see it.
