Critics Consensus

Beautiful scenery and cinematography can't save Turistas from its wooden acting and stale and predictable plot.

Brian Tallerico UGO It's a film that's more likely to leave you confused and angry than frightened or inspired that something positive is happening in the horror genre. Mar 24, 2007 Full Review Richard Roeper Ebert & Roeper This is just a predictable slice of slasher porn set in an exotic locale. Dec 4, 2006 Full Review Scott Tobias AV Club 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. Rated: C- Dec 2, 2006 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh The grotesque special effects and motivations for the mayhem make it a strong example of a redundant premise, though it can't escape the subgenre's failings. Rated: 3/5 Sep 24, 2023 Full Review Emma Wolfe SpookyAstronauts One of the more realistic horror movies I've seen in a long time... I think that the themes, the idea of the storyline and the acting was on point. Rated: 7/10 Apr 16, 2021 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews An unpleasant horror thriller about revolting thrill-seeking tourists in Brazil. Rated: C+ Jun 10, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Wendel L Direção: Ruim Atuação: Bom Roteiro: Ok Caracterização: Bom Soundtrack: Ok Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/08/25 Full Review Derek S If you like saw, or hostel, you have to watch this. If you like horror, you have to watch this. If you like thrillers, you have to watch this. Turistas, in my opinion, is one of the most criminally underrated movies of all time. Especially since movies like saw, and hostel did so well. This movie, unlike others, is 100% believable. The story is so raw and real, and the acting is near perfect. Viewer beware: Like jaws did to beach goers, Turistas will make you never want to travel to a third world country. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/15/25 Full Review John H Seemed a little predictable at first, but, for me, it was well paced and the tension / scare factor was delivered well. Would watch again. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review Colin M 'Turistas' (aka "Paradise Lost"). Naive tourists step away from the beaten track in Brazil and find themselves in difficulties. (In the style of 'Deliverance' and 'Wolf Creek'). Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/04/24 Full Review Justin W A getaway to nightmare paradise, it has done enough to keep you in for the ride. Just enough... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/24 Full Review RedGodMasterofRed g It is a pretty decent movie that I'm surprised was so hated the acting is decent probably better than most horror movies it's a concept you don't see as often as your typical ghost or slasher movie it's not super scary though Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
