Travelers are in the midst of enjoying a dream vacation along the Brazilian coast. But their vacation turns sour when a bus accident leaves them marooned in a remote Brazilian rural area that holds an ominous secret.
With a plot Frankensteined from the remains of "Hostel", "The Descent" and "Wolf Creek", "Turistas" was clearly never going to be on anyone's 10 best list.
Touted as the first American production to be shot entirely in Brazil, Turistas may well be the last, if the country cares at all about its image.

Turistas is a beautifully shot tale of tropical terror that starts building an ominous vibe early on, but never really turns into a full-fledged gross-out like Hostel. Except for that one part.
It's fitting that, in a season in which Hollywood offers up its prestige pictures -- the ones it hopes will garner critics' prizes and Academy Awards -- Turistas should come along to offer a bit of contrast.
Paradise Lost is an undemanding thriller with little in the way of invention and not much going on other than some impressive scenery and a few sweet racks.
