boxd.it/cmQoMOh even in 2015 the stink of Hostel cannot get washed off us can it? A bunch of really annoying assholes travel to a foreign country to bone anything that moves and they run afowl of someone with a blackmarket murder business.
I can say with the cover, the title, and the premise that my dude Robert LeSardo plays The Artist amazingly, carrying the movie. I thought for sure at some point he'd turn into a Rob zombie character. But maintains this poise and dignity I was not expecting. Though Uta basically plays that character.
When with the losers, it's pretty bad. Lots of hot ladies in undress, but…

Tattoo enthused horror and a latecomer to torture porn party. Anarchy Parlour follows the basic Hostel premise. We've got a bunch of obnoxious dickheads on holiday in Europe, who find themselves in peril after coming in contact with some sinister plot going on in the background. The film was shot on location in Vilnius Lithuania. Much of it takes place either in nightclubs or in a dingy basement; but the scenes shot outside are generally rather nice looking. The acting from the central cast is uniformly terrible - aggressive to the point where its just unreasonable, and this is not helped by the Inane dialogue. The only exception is Robert LaSardo in the pivotal role, which seems like it was…

Film #7 of 30
Lithuania
Aka Killer Ink.
I can't believe that seemingly affable tattooist, who I now realise is on the poster looking like a psycho, turned out to be a complete maniac. Of all the first act twists!
Well this movie went like so…
A group of American and British students go to Lithuania to party their socks (and everything else) off. Before long they're lured from a nightclub to some tattoo parlour where events take a turn for the worse. In short, they end up in a world of pain...tattooed pain.
This movie is like Hostel but not as good. I should explain that I quite like Hostel 1 & 2. Particularly Part…

Robert Lasardo, you've probably seen this guy in a few movies, always playing bad guys and getting killed by Steven Seagal a couple of times. He's covered in tattoos so this role was made for him. Inspired by a true story. Yeah, right. American friends partying and fucking in Lithuania. Two of them get lured into a tattoo parlor with Lasardo as the psychotic freak tattoo artist and his killer bitch apprentice. The rest of the friends go looking for them. Kind of terrible but if you're a hardcore fan of gore films there's no reason to hate this one that much. It's a rip off of Hostel and a bunch of better similar movies. It's torture porn or whatever you want to call it. Unashamed of all the gratuitous sex and violence. Kind of liked it.

Released in the UK as Killer Ink, this Hostel-esque caper feels weirdly straight outta 2005 so it's amazing that it was made 10 years later. Perhaps this is one reason why I'm feeling so generous towards it. There's a certain nostalgia factor to seeing a movie being so slavishly retro for a period that few movies have tried to go back to yet... If it'd ACTUALLY been made in 2005, I'd probably rank it at least half a star lower because it just would've been part of a zeitgeist, whereas here it feels like it's bucking a trend, which gives it points for rebellion alone. Still, either way, it's an undemanding and reassuringly predictable watch.

I see a lot of people claiming this to be a "Hostel" rip off. And that's a simple comparison, being that this film is about unlikable young adult tourists getting trapped in some underground layer and being mutilated. However that's basically it for comparisons. The reason for their demise is more interesting here as it feels more plausible and grounded.
Basically it's about a sadistic tattoo artist, Robert LaSardo, who delves in the underground world of collecting tattoo skins. LaSardo is super creepy and the highlight of this film, along with the graphic and well executed skin peals. The best sequences is when he's having a one on one with a new client. He's perfectly casted for this role.

Horror Hunt #47 (May 2022)
20. Random country pick (Lithuania)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------Did nobody teach these damned people about never going down into stranger's basements? 3 times these morons are instructed by a total stranger in a foreign country to walk down into a basement, and they just agree. Morons.. But then again, I'd absolutely find myself walking straight into a death trap if some tall, European goth lady told me to. Maybe this is super realistic, actually.
So the story here is that a bunch of English-speaking tourists (they are American and/or British) are yucking it up in the wild nightlife of Lithuania. Eventually their wild partying bring them to a tattoo parlor run by a bearded fellow and his…

If you're using such a rare kind of canvas, why waste it on a painter who is less talented than a blind ferret?

There is this wonderful saying in Polish: "na bezrybiu i rak ryba," which literally means "when there are no fish, a crayfish is a fish." I think the best English equivalent would be "beggars can't be choosers." My point? If one wants a horror film set in contemporary Central Europe or a horror film with tattoos as the main theme, one is such a beggar who tries to enjoy one's crayfish.
Honestly, this indie film had so much potential and it contains no animal cruelty (which is humorously stressed in the credits) but... I can't say it's good. Still, I watched it from the beginning to the end with interest. Despite this film's many flaws, I still prefer it to…

Shameless copy of the Hostel style of "torture porn", having a group of vacationing students caught in the immoral clutches of Europe. Robert LaSardo was likely the only professional actor on set, god bless him, but not even he could carry this outdated train wreck on his aging back.
First off, the gore effects were not only cheap as hell (at one point looking like they used the spray tool in Microsoft Paint), but the ideas themselves constantly got reused which lessened their impact immensely. Even with the bare-minimum story of a film like Grotesque (2009), at least that prioritized to make the torture memorable and disturbing, while this couldn't even bother to properly incorporate its own tattoo gimmick.
Quite…

This tourist-torturing Hostel-esque horror is nobody's idea of a "good film", but it's brash, boorish and unfashionably carnal enough for it to be a good time regardless. Dodgy acting and unlikely dialogue abound, right from the opening nightclub scene in which a group of American and English students, aiming to party hard in Vilnius, drunkenly talk about doing more shots and who they're planning to fuck. Enter the darkly glamorous Uta, all tattoos and an undercut, who lures a couple of them to her body-mod shop, ostensibly for sex but really to painfully murder them. Uta (Sara Fabel) lights up the screen whenever she appears; unfortunately her male partner-in-crime - "the Artist" (not Prince) - is the sort of boring…

Scavenger Hunt 35/Film 10/A film about Anarchy
Anarchy on the streets of Lithuania in this movie otherwise known as KILLER INK. While most the anarchy is actually by the annoying spoiled tourists, we have a vicious duo of villains who want more than your skin for a short period of time to tattoo.
The characters are generally unlikable and the story I am sure was found on Eli Roth's cutting room floor when writing HOSTEL but there is a certain charm to the film which made me 50/50 and overall enjoyed the watch. Dodgy accents aside the acting is not awful and while the effects are not incredible they are nicely done. While not essential it is a worthwhile watch for all fans of horror.
