I have a Hostel spoiler, so if you don't want to read my comment, I won't be offended.
That's what suprised me about Hostel; the good kid died. Here was this asshole who used girls just for sex, a shy virgin boy and a crazy foreigner, and who dies horribly? The shy virgin boy. I was really mad that the asshole survived because it seemed so unfair somehow. When I thought about it later, it seemed really weird because the deaths of everyone else in that movie didn't really upset me. Your post made me realise that breaking that horror movie stereotype was what got me.
