I personally thought Hostel should have been banned so I welcome the stand they've made on this kinda mindless, senseless and depraved cinema that seems to be part of the norm now. Violence doesn't particularly bother me in films; it's more to do with context and the reasoning behind showing blood and killing.

Most films such as this seem to take a morbid pleasure in exposing the viewer to acts of gratuitous torture, where the directors aim is to make it feel as authentic and unsettling as possible. They look more like snuff movies than cinema and I see no responsibility or maturity shown by anyone involved in their making....... this is not art.
