Hurl and Get Your Money Back | October 26, 2006 |
If the movie "Hostel" is just too sick for you, leave and get your money back. That's the deal being offered by the cinema in Tokyo's Shibuya district that will be showing Eli Roth's splatter movie from Saturday. Anyone who decides to leave the movie within the first 46 minutes - the point at which the first nasty scene reaches a climax - will be refunded the cost of their ticket. The Shibuya N cinema is also cooperating with the local Sakuragaoka Clinic, who will have a nurse on hand in the theater on opening day. Movie-goers will have to cover their own medical expenses! The offer is available for the opening week only and ends on November 3. The story is about two young Americans backpacking in Amsterdam who get locked out of their youth hostel. They meet a man who tells them of a hostel in Slovakia where hot women are eager to meet foreign tourists. Off they head with their new Icelandic friend in tow, and of course they find more than they were expecting. Over 150 gallons of blood were used in the making of the movie, whose executive producer is none other than Quentin Tarantino (43). Though there were scenes of audience members vomiting and passing out when it was shown in the U.S., it made over $47 million at the box office and a sequel is scheduled for release next January.
