Critics Consensus

Beautiful scenery and cinematography can't save Turistas from its wooden acting and stale and predictable plot.

It's a film that's more likely to leave you confused and angry than frightened or inspired that something positive is happening in the horror genre.

This is just a predictable slice of slasher porn set in an exotic locale.

C-

Touted as the first American production to be shot entirely in Brazil, Turistas may well be the last, if the country cares at all about its image.

3/5

The grotesque special effects and motivations for the mayhem make it a strong example of a redundant premise, though it can't escape the subgenre's failings.

7/10

One of the more realistic horror movies I've seen in a long time... I think that the themes, the idea of the storyline and the acting was on point.

An unpleasant horror thriller about revolting thrill-seeking tourists in Brazil.

Turistas is a disappointing film. It is about a group of young backpackers' vacation that turns sour when a bus accident leaves them marooned. Josh Duhamel and Melissa George give terrible performances. The script is badly written. John Stockwell did a horrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture.

A simple, inoffensive, backpacker flick. Not scary in the least (this is not a "horror film") but some decent thrills, exotic scenery and a scantily clad cast just about make up for it. Harmless fun.

I know that this movie was really stereotypical in a lot of ways and didn't do great things for Brazil's image. However, it was enjoyable to me for some reason. I didn't mind the stereotypical tropes of the slutty one dying first or the stupid Americans making stupid decisions in a dangerous country. For some reason, this was a movie I liked watching and for the life of me, I can't put my finger on why.
