   As I was watching Hostile (the first one above), I kept wondering when is the   
   porn-like stuff going to kick in (because you mentioned "borderline porn   
   movie").  LOL   I was thinking "Doug has a pretty lame idea what porn is".   
      
   It turns out that Hostile was not entirely bad at all. The special effects of   
   the "creature" were amazing, although I thought that the CGI octupus beard on   
   Day Jones in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest from waaay back in   
   2006 was pretty amazing.  There is probably nothing the CGI can't accomplish   
   now.   
      
   Regarding "Hostile" (the first one above) you can tell the budget is a bit   
   limited. Not much locale  variance.  Lessor known actors.  The story has a lot   
   of mystery: no complete idea why the apocalyptic scenario occurred.  But if   
   you have a basic knowledge of what immunity or asymptomatic means, then it   
   doesn't really matter.  The back story is a bit rushed, but it's enough to get   
   us to know the main character and her current situation.  In the final scenes   
   I was thinking "they got it all wrong.. the violent scenes leading up to it   
   don't make sense!"  But, they actually do.  And here's why...(I'll put it in   
   ROT13 so that if you want to deliberately spoil it for yourself, you do it at   
   your own hand):

   So.. if you are in the mood for a horror flick that is not really a horror   
   flick, but is a fine cross between Sixth Sense, The Road, and a mix of drama   
   and romance (no porn!) ..then Hostile is a rather nice "lite" horror film.   
      
   Now.. Hostel (the torture porn film..) I'll pass.   
      
   I'm having too much fun watching Burn Notice. I'd like to live in that world a   
   little while longer during this pathetic covid19 time.
