Brazil's tourist industry gets a bad rap in this horror-lite shocker that might just leave you rooting for the bad guy.

This raw and grisly film keeps the tension levels fairly high, even if it is thoroughly predictable.

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.

It's a film that's more likely to leave you confused and angry than frightened or inspired that something positive is happening in the horror genre.

Merece ser ignorado por ser péssimo, não por ser uma "visão preconceituosa" do Brasil.

As conflicted as the U.S. psyche: The movie locates the ghastly fates of its victims in the history of American arrogance, yet tells us to never trust a foreigner, even when she's in a bikini.

Don't bother to buy popcorn, the sight of Josh Duhamel's abs and Melissa George's breasts should tide you over until Beau Garrett's pancreas and kidneys show up.

If the filmmakers were trying to scare American kids into cultural isolationism, this would be a pretty good piece of propaganda for the cause.

This is strictly 'Teenagers as Meat on the Hoof 101' stuff -- only more idiotic than usual.
