This Movie Warns You About The Dangers Of Meeting Strangers On Holidays

This movie is a real eye opener. It does warn you about meeting strangers on holidays.
So many stupid and naive tourists end up trusting strangers on holidays,this can result in them getting accused of a crime you didn't commit or getting murdered.
When I go on holidays, I won't go anywhere with a stranger, you don't what is going to happen. I will be nice to people, BUT I won't disclose the location of my hotel.
I love my life too much, and I dare not take risks.

You're missing out on spending time with a lot of cool people then. I travel to Europe ON MY OWN every few years and I meet all sorts of interesting and lovely people along the way. Do I get incoherently drunk or drugged out like some 20-somethings? NO. Do I hop in a stranger's car? No. I keep my wits about me at all times and use common sense. The vast majority of people in the world are just normal people like you. Don't limit your life experiences based on a silly horror movie. Someone is just as likely to kill you in your own town as anywhere else.

yeah its terrible that it does that. I was in Turkey and i met a group of cool people and went off to party with them (was with a friend who likes an early night?!) anyways half way through the night i started to think about hostel and think eek these people are gonna murder me. they didnt, (obviously!) but i suppose it does make you think you never know what could be going on, but on the other side you cant go through life worrying about the what ifs, just be cautious.

It is an eye-opener, but it shouldn't have to be. Common sense about strangers is taught to you as a child, about not getting in the car with a stranger or going off with a stranger. If this was remembered more often on holidays, there would be a lot less gone-missing stories.
