Hostel (2006)
Synopsis
Eli Roth’s HOSTEL, the follow-up to the writer-director’s 2002’s CABIN FEVER. More grisly than Roth’s feature bow, HOSTEL is a mixture of many of the most terrifying things about human nature and the world at large, culled from many impossible-but-true stories of human trafficking, international organized ime, and sex tourism. Relentlessly graphic and deeply disturbing, the film is sure to shock even the most hard core genre fans.
HOSTEL tells the story of two adventurous American college buddies Paxton and Josh who backpack through Europe eager to make quintessentially hazy travel memories with new friend Oli, an Icelander they’ve met along the way.
Initially distracted by the good time they’re having, the two Americans quickly find themselves trapped in an ineasingly sinister situation that they will discover is as wide and as deep as the darkest, sickest recess of human nature itse – if they survive.
