Turistas (2006)
Dir- John Stockwell
Backpackers traveling in Brazil become stranded when an accident wrecks the bus. They find a beach and bar where they party with locals, but they wake up with all their possessions missing the next day. Looking for help, they find themselves targeted by a more menacing group. Turistas was directed by John Stockwell and starred Josh Duhamel, Melissa George, and Olivia Wilde. Following the trope of vacation nightmare horror films, Turistas appears to be another torture porn-style film similar to Saw and Hostel. Again, there are scenes of bloody horror, but Turistas features fewer moments of extreme gore and instead spends much of the film walking through the rain forests of Brazil. As a cautionary tale, Turistas will undoubtedly scare off many who have a fear of foreign traveling while at the same time reminding others that Brazil is a beautiful country.
