(1 - 26) of 26 OFCS Rating: 15% Rotten Page   1   2.5/5 "Brazil's tourist industry gets a bad rap in this horror-lite shocker that might just leave you rooting for the bad guy."   Channel 4 Film   Anton Bitel F "The tagline says 'go home.' I say 'stay home.'"   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark 2.5/5 "With a plot Frankensteined from the remains of "Hostel", "The Descent" and "Wolf Creek", "Turistas" was clearly never going to be on anyone's 10 best list."   CinemaBlend.com   Brian Holcomb D- "John Stockwell would rather have 9,000 shots of Melissa George in a bikini than be caught dead telling a story."   OhmyNews.com   Brian Orndorf 1.5/5 "contains itself in insufferable artificiality"   Filmcritic.com   Chris Cabin 1.5/5 "an empty shell of a film with a hollow emotional core"   MovieWeb   Chris Cabin B- "Riding the current wave of horror movies populated with American travelers preyed upon by torturing crazies, "Turistas" plays its suspense trump card as the first American film shot entirely in Brazil."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "Turistas demonstrates explicitly what you already know because you've seen Hostel: tourists, especially American tourists, are the new girls in horror movies."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs D- "Wants to be 'Hostel,' but it's just half-witted."   EDGE Boston   David Foucher 0/4 "...one can't help but marvel at the decision to release this turd theatrically."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2/4 "One long setup that ends up being much ado about nothing."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman D "Regardless of your expectations of it, I don't see how Turistas can fail to disappoint you."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 2/4 "Duhamel should know that you can just stay in Vegas and get your kidney removed while getting robbed in a club populated by ladies in bikinis."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress F "Another helping of sadism disguised as entertainment...even aficionados of such massacre-fests are likely to find this a long slog."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2/4 "Turistas starts out as an effective little horror movie before devolving into an incoherent mess during its final 30 minutes."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 6/10 "Click here to read review"   Kinoblog.com   Jaroslav Vishtaljuk 3/5 "Gets the job done."   Boxoffice Magazine   Jay Antani 2.5/5 "It's only a few weeks before Christmas, and do you know what that means?... it means horror movies about human organ trafficking."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr D+ "All Turistas does for Brazil is insult it."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford D "more sick than scary, more revolting than revealing, more twisted than tantalizing."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 1.5/4 "With Turistas, director John Stockwell cements his status as contemporary Hollywood's most accomplished exhibitor of the female behind."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 1/5 "Merece ser ignorado por ser péssimo, não por ser uma "visão preconceituosa" do Brasil."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca .5/5 "...a lot of torture-p0rn aficionados are going to be throwing their money away, and that's always funny."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 3/5 "This raw and grisly film keeps the tension levels fairly high, even if it is thoroughly predictable."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C- "... neither suspenseful, terrifying or inventively gory."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 2/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito  (1 - 26) of 26 OFCS Rating: 15% Rotten Page   1
