Product Description

Product Description

Presented by Quentin Tarantino (Kill Bill, Vol. 1 & 2) and directed by Eli Roth (Cabin Fever), Hostel is a shocking and relentless film in the tradition of Saw about two American backpackers (Jay Hernandez, Friday Night Lights and Derek Richardson, Dumb and Dumberer) in Europe who find themselves lured in as victims of a murder-for-profit business. Paxton and Josh, two college friends, are lured by a fellow traveler to what's described as a nirvana for American backpackers -- a particular hostel in an out-of-the-way Slovakian town stocked with Eastern European women as desperate as they are gorgeous. The two friends arrive and soon easily pair off with exotic beauties Natalya and Svetlana. In fact, too easily... Initially distracted by the good time they're having, the two Americans quickly find themselves trapped in an increasingly sinister situation that they will discover is as wide and as deep as the darkest, sickest recess of human nature itself -- if they survive.

From Amazon.co.uk

Well-made for the genre--the excessive-skin-displayed-before-gruesome-bloody-torture-begins genre--Hostel follows two randy Americans (Jay Hernandez, Friday Night Lights, and Derek Richardson, Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd) and an even randier Icelander (Eythor Gudjonsson) as they trek to Slovakia, where they're told beautiful girls will have sex with anyone with an American accent. Unfortunately, the girls will also sell young Americans to a company that offers victims to anyone who will pay to torture and murder. To his credit, writer/director Eli Roth (Cabin Fever) takes his time setting things up, laying a realistic foundation that makes the inevitable spilling of much blood all the more gruesome. The sardonic joke, of course, is that Americans are worth the most in this brothel of blood because everyone else in the world wants to take revenge upon them. This dark humor and political subtext help set Hostel above its more brainless sadistic compatriots, like House of Wax or The Devil's Rejects. In general, though, there's something lacking; horror used to suggest some threat to the spirit--today's horror can conceive of nothing more troubling than torturing the flesh. For aficionados, Hostel features a nice cameo by Takashi Miike, director of bloody Japanese flicks like Audition and Ichi the Killer. --Bret Fetzer

5.0 out of 5 starswatch out for this HOSTEL!
By Dr. Peter Havlicek on 1 May 2006
Format: DVD
I saw it on big screen and I was shocked.Normaly I like sick flicks like SAW or SEVEN and I've seen a lot of gore or violent movies and it doesn't bother me much.But after HOSTEL I had real problems to fall asleep.Not because of the ultraviolent sadistic torture,but the idea of the story made me absolutely shakey.Organized russian mafia actually sell people to rich men so they can do with them whatever they want.The plot is really simple but watch it.I guarantee this movie will take your breath away!Can't wait for the UK-DVD release.

3.0 out of 5 starsPainful.
By Spike Owen TOP 500 REVIEWER on 19 May 2011
Format: Blu-ray
Three horny male backpackers travel to Slovakia and check into a Hostel that is awash with sexy European ladies. What starts out as a dream comes true will quickly turn into a nightmare.

Brought to us by two of cinemas greatest self promoters in Eli Roth and Quentin Tarantino, Hostel is wince inducing, if ultimately a shallow gore wet dream for the early male teenager. There is no doubting the impact of the "horror" on show, with Roth, in spite of his hyperbole as the master of shock, actually knowing how to push all the right genre buttons. But after suffering what basically is a horny youth travelogue for what seems like forever, the blood fest comes as a relief instead of a reward for nervous expectation. Within the story there's some meat as to how sick the world can be, for example one of the titular torturers here has already shown himself to be the father of "cutie" young daughter. And some moral posers and decisions concerning our main protagonist offer some intelligence in the script. But it still feels empty, too self aware of wanting to shock with schlock.

Hostel was successful enough to spawn an even bloodier sequel, much like that film, Hostel is remembered for its gore than for any thing else of substance. 5/10

3.0 out of 5 starsA review from a true horror fan
By stargazer on 2 Aug. 2006
Format: DVD
Whereas I appreciate Eli Roth's enthusiasm for the horror genre, it's hard to tell quite who he's aiming this movie at.

My love of horror ranges from films such as the original Omen, Rosemary's Baby to films such as Suspiria and The Beyond to the asian flicks of recent years. I can also appreciate a good gore-fest or unsettling film when in the mood and love films like Zombie Flesh Eaters and the Romero classics.

It would appear this film is aimed at fans of the latter which I have no problem with. However.....if you're going to make that kind of film, you have to go balls out from the beginning and not relent up. Sadly, only one or two real scenes of menace and shock just aren't going to satisfy those fans who have watched those films of the 70's and 80's of which Roth is clearly a huge fan of.

This film suffers mainly from the poor and almost amateurish first 30-40mins. Despite a promising opening credit sequence, the lack of any real action really hinders the pace.

When the atmosphere and dread does arrive, it almost comes as a sense of relief to finally have something happen! and in the already infamous 'eye' scene, a cult scene for the future is born - much like the 'leg shaving' scene in Roth's 'Cabin Fever.' Horror fans may also notice the odd homage along the way, including a fave of mine 'Don't Look Now'

Overall, 3 /5 is a fair mark, when it's good, it's great, but there's just not enough of it. I would still much rather watch this film, then have to sit through another horror remake or film blatantly aimed at the teen market.

I listened to the commentaries on the Region 1 dvd and they are good, not great, but do give a few insights and it's good to hear genuine enthusiasm for the genre.

Here's hoping with the sequel that Roth really cuts loose (and a few more limbs)....

3.0 out of 5 stars"And where is this Hostel?"
By Throda tzen TOP 1000 REVIEWER on 18 July 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This is a 2005 horror torture film following three male backpackers, Josh, Paxton and new friend Oli, as they try to hook up with girls on their travels across Europe. Hearing about a Slovakian hostel filled with beautiful and eager women the three board the next train. But is the Hostel all it seems -obviously not for the following day Oli and a new found friend, Yuki, disappear and their dream holiday turns into a nightmare. Though Josh [Derek Richardson] is anxious to leave, Paxton [Jay Hernandez] convinces him to stay one more night.
The main thrust of this `horror' is the way a simple situation can turn to nightmare and the gore, when it comes, is brutal rather than bloody. The problem is the first half hour plays like a travelogue [lose a *] and becomes quite monotonous, filled with drugs, booze and half naked people. Obviously it's trying to set a relaxed scene but is too long. When they arrive at the Hostel, it's like a sexploitation movie featuring lots of gratuitous nudity [actually lose another *] and you're almost halfway in before any disappearances occur. So far it's pretty lame and you don't care about the characters when the action starts, but once the true situation is revealed it does become terrifyingly tense and disturbing but is surprisingly short-lived as it quickly turns into an escape from the baddies movie and the often ridiculous dialogue lets the tension down badly.
The novel approach of having the victims being all male is a refreshing change but the writers fail to understand the intrinsic differences between men and women so the reactions all fall flat. The sound track fits well and the `building' is suitably creepy. I must admit feeling cheated by this movie -I expected more [like Julia X], but got very little from it.Read more ›
