Paradise Lost or Turistas as it was originally know suffered badly at the US box office. Hence it's renaming for the UK and other countries. The film was marketed as another Hostel style film, with gore galore and general nastiness.
The film is however as far from Hostel as you can get, and that's a good thing. Paradise has a story and charcters that altough are cliched are better viewing. The violence isn't the point of the film, like it was with Hostel. The violence only happens in the last 30 minutes or so and it's explained why, and makes sense why the tourists are been aducted.
It's better than what the critics said, rent it for yourself and find out.
