THE REVIEW
Do you want to see a good movie even if it is absolutely to be avoided?
Something that is remembered for what it is?
A cinematic product that you will hardly forget?
A direction that counts everything on tension with a touch of gore and splatter?
A construction without preambles or long final tails, but that plays everything on the main events?
A dry, quick B-movie structure that is based on human phobias?
A film that might vaguely remind you of stuff like "The Hitcher," "Cuba Libre," or "Detour"?
Something that shows an inescapable reality where social motivations are only marginal?
A realization that wisely leverages many of the unconscious fears of mass tourism?
Then this is the movie for you!
In short, here are the usual well-off kids on vacation in Brazil, looking for sex but finding a mad doctor who kidnaps them and cuts them into pieces to sell their organs on the black market.
Only 3 remain alive (unfortunately, because I would have killed them all along with the director and the producer) and thank goodness I downloaded it and didn't go to the cinema!

Summary by Bot
Turistas is a tense and gore-heavy thriller centered on tourists falling victim to a mad doctor in Brazil. The film uses a quick B-movie style and explores fears tied to mass tourism. While memorable and intense, the reviewer strongly disliked it and felt frustrated with the characters and filmmakers. Recommended only if you enjoy brutal, tension-driven B-movies.
