“Land Of Smiles” (* out of four) was an ugly, almost unwatchable horror freak show about a young backpacker (Alexandra Turshen) who is lured into the underworld paradise of Thailand to search for her kidnapped best friend but soon finds herself targeted and tortured by a sociopath whose following her. Plenty of sex and gore but plenty of sleaze and unpleasantness to make the “Hostel” movies look subtle by comparison. Even the beautiful Thailand scenery looks cheap and uninviting. Turshen isn’t bad in the lead role but you may want to take a shower when this is over.
