WTF Moment in Horror

Hostel (2005)

WTF Scene: Hostel was one of those torture movies that you just could not put down. The plot was highly original and plausible, I remember thinking while watching it for the first time, that these unfortunate events could really happen to anyone...but at least now, we are aware and would be prepared if God forbids that should happen to any of us (one of these days). The scene that truly got under my skin was the one when the bloodhound tattoed elite hunting member took a blow torch to the japanese girl's eye till her eye popped out of its socket but still hanging on...ouch! Paxton (Jay Hernandez) goes in to save the damsel in distress as he kills off this American member who presumably paid $50,000 to this elite society of killers for his victim. Paxton, the protagonist, ultimately cuts off completely the dangling eyeball from this Japanese's girl face. At that point, we can envision and unnaturally feel the pain resonating through her screams. 

Actor: Jay Hernandez, Derek Richardson

Director: Eli Roth

Famous Quote: "I get a lot of money for you and that makes you, MY Bitch!"

 Bottom Line: In Hostel, there were a lot of WTF moments but when they showed us a close-up of the Japanese girl's face with the dangling eye being pulled off and bloody pus oozing out, that did it for me!
