Zes jonge toeristen stranden na een autobusongeluk dichtbij een idyllisch strand. De ochtend na een feestje in de lokale bar, merken ze dat ze bestolen werden. In het dorpscentrum blijken ze niet echt welkom. Uiteindelijk belanden ze in het huis van de oom van Kiko, een vriendelijke local die ze de avond ervoor leerden kennen. Maar de oom steelt organen van toeristen om ze aan Braziliaanse kinderen te schenken... (Paradiso Filmed Entertainment)

Recensie (2)
Turistas is not really a horror or slasher movie, though it might look like one at first glance. John Stockwell doesn’t work with horror elements or jump-scares and he conceives Turistas as a realistic drama that scares the audience with its harshness and mercilessness. There is no sign of a deeper message like in John Boorman’s Deliverance, as we’re talking about a watching-once-is-enough thriller, but the movie’s quality actors and a decently built atmosphere work as they should. Too bad the ending is cut short; this is the only thing truly reminiscent of a slasher flick that doesn’t need to resolve anything and satisfies itself with a shot of the surviving characters, breathing a sigh of relief as they exit the scene.

Well, it could have been a decent massacre with detailed demonstrations of the internal arrangement of human anatomy, but apparently the creators were a bit scared of that and instead put a Brazilian pseudo-moralist in the role of the biggest villain. From his fiery speech, the movie basically stopped entertaining me because, although I am not one of the unfortunate ones who have to wander through life burdened by the immense weight of their movable and immovable property, I am against nationalizing both property and bodily organs. Whether a Marxist-Leninist theorist or a surgeon philosophizes about similar matters, both are ripe for a blow with a blunt object before they move from words to actions.
