While traveling on vacation through the country of Northeastern of Brazil by bus, the American Alex Trubituan, his sister Bea Tribituan and their friend Amy Harrington meet the also foreigners Pru Stagler, Finn Davies and Liam Kuller after an accident with their bus. They follow a track through the woods and find a hidden paradisiacal beach. They decide to stay in the place drinking beer and dancing funk and parting with the locals and they meet the amicable Brazilian teenager Kiko. They are drugged with "Boa Noite, Cinderela" (Ruffies, literal translation: "Good Night, Cinderella" - a trick used by smalltime crooks to steal naive people) and when they wake up, they are practically naked, with all their belongings, clothes, money, jewels, passports, backpacks etc. stolen. They walk to a small village trying to find a police station, they get into trouble with the dwellers and they are helped by their acquaintance Kiko, who leads them to his uncle's isolated well-equipped cabin in the woods to wait for the next bus two days later. Along the night, Kiko's "uncle" arrives with his friends and the group discloses the sinister intentions of the newcomers.
Leave your thoughts about Turistas.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzAn unpleasant horror thriller about revolting thrill-seeking tourists in Brazil. |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersThis thing is paint by numbers all the way through, and as much fun as much of it is I'd be lying if I said the movie was worth all that much more than an economy priced mid-afternoon matinee. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderRegardless of your expectations of it, I don't see how Turistas can fail to disappoint you. |
| FromTheBalconyBill ClarkThe tagline says 'go home.' I say 'stay home.' |
| OhmyNews.comBrian OrndorfJohn Stockwell would rather have 9,000 shots of Melissa George in a bikini than be caught dead telling a story. |
| EDGE BostonDavid FoucherWants to be 'Hostel,' but it's just half-witted. |
| Filmcritic.comChris Cabinan empty shell of a film with a hollow emotional core |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohThe fact that films like this are being made, and happily consumed by eager crowds, should be disturbing to anyone with a modicum of awareness. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyRiding the current wave of horror movies populated with American travelers preyed upon by torturing crazies, "Turistas" plays its suspense trump card as the first American film shot entirely in Brazil. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovWith Turistas, Stockwell dives head-first into a veritable riptide of churning, vicious exploitation cinema, and the result is surprisingly effective. |
