Beautiful scenery and cinematography can't save Turistas from its wooden acting and stale and predictable plot.

Touted as the first American production to be shot entirely in Brazil, Turistas may well be the last, if the country cares at all about its image. Dec 2, 2006 | Rating: C-

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. Dec 1, 2006 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

Under its glossy exterior and claims to be an extreme version, this is a generic and surprisingly tame horror offering. Aug 12, 2014 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Paradise Lost is an undemanding thriller with little in the way of invention and not much going on other than some impressive scenery and a few sweet racks. Nov 3, 2012 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Turistas is a beautifully shot tale of tropical terror that starts building an ominous vibe early on, but never really turns into a full-fledged gross-out like Hostel. Except for that one part. Jul 6, 2010 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

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. May 5, 2008 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…
