Turistas
(USA, 2006, 93 minutes)
A group of Anglo-American tourists in deep Brazil fall prey to a organ harvest ring. Stylish but derivative shocker that runs with the Hostel premise and actually takes it further and better than the actual blueprint did, though it looks as if the (moderate) gore was an added-on afterthought.
