Aftershock

Chile has it all: gorgeous landscapes, smokin'- hot women, cool dudes, great wine, and the wildest parties. For a hapless American tourist, nicknamed Gringo (Eli Roth) by his two Chilean pals Ariel (Ariel Levy) and Pollo (Nicolás Martínez), the trip has been heaven on earth — except that he just can't hook up with the ladies. Gringo's luck seems to change when the group meets a trio of babes — Russian model Irina (Natasha Yarovenko), non-stop party girl Kylie (Lorenza Izzo) and her serious sister Monica (Andrea Osvárt) — who agree to accompany them on a trip to the coastal town of Valparaíso. The new friends are having the best of times whooping it up in a dance club, until a violent earthquake brings the entire city down around them. With this one-time paradise now a landscape of death and destruction that's seething with terror and panic, our unlucky heroes must run for their lives from looters, escaped convicts, and the inevitable aftershocks.

This was kind of like Eli Roth's other movies with total brutality once the chaos started post earthquake.  The group of friends suffered massively as they were taken out one by one via amputations, burning alive, rape, etc.  This movie was decent for what it was supposed to be after a truly brutal 35 minutes of "character development" before the earthquake.  Are we really supposed to care about any of them?

I would only recommend die hard Eli Roth fans taking the time to check this out.  It's pretty much a lame yet watchable B movie.
