Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn one underwater scene, Olivia Wilde's character Bea can be seen panicking while trying to find an air bubble. This is actually real, as Wilde missed her mark and could not locate the air bubble. Because it was a wide shot, the safety divers were too far away to get there. But she eventually found the air pocket.
- GoofsWhen the group arrives at the beach, Amy has left her bikini top at her last destination and must wear a T-shirt to swim. However, when the group is later trekking through the jungle, she clearly has a bikini top on.
- Alternate versionsThe unrated version runs ca. 2 minutes longer and features an extra/extended scene between Finn and Arolea, as well as more explicit shots of Amy being "operated" on.

Featured review
Fun
'Turistas' was a fun horror flick with a 'Hostel' like plot. The characters were pretty likable along with the film itself. It had some good gory scenes which included a disturbing open surgery scene.
I am really confused about why people hated this film so much. When I saw this with a friend, we were both expecting a stupid b flick with cheesy acting. We were both surprised at the end, it didn't entirely suck! It had an OK script, OK actors, cool scenes, a fun plot, and gruesome gore. I admit, it wasn't a masterpiece but it was not horrible! I have seen much, much, much worse!
Something that does tick me off about this films bad ratings is that the Brazilians are rating it bad because they think this film will lower their tourist numbers. They are wrong, people still go to the beach(Jaws) and still go to European countries(Hostel). Its just a horror flick.
So you should go see this if you like fun B horror flicks.
