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 starsAwkward viewing for two reasons
By M. JONES VINE VOICE on 6 Jun. 2006
Format: DVD
3 Stars may be a bit generous for this notorious gorefest. Whilst Aja's 'The Hills Have Eyes' is much more entertaining and engaging, Roth's 'Hostel' is much more disturbing.

Three backbackers head to Europe and a series of sub-American Pie antics ensue. This section not only goes on for two long but is not very nice to watch considering its basically soft porn. When your watching this with your girlfriend in a crowded theatre, you start to shut off from the film. The characters spend their time bedding prostitutes and ogling naked women. But hey, if watching a person draw a smiley face on his backside appeals to you, then fine.

A film of two halves? Absolutely. Once the second act kicks in, so does our interest again. The backpackers begin to disappear and find themselves in what can only be described as a torture factory. People with the right cash and the right (or wrong) mentality come to torture innocent people in whatever way suits them best. The film excels in this section because this is what we all expected to see from the off. As our main character is dragged through a corridor, we glimpse a number of people being mutilated in the various rooms and we start to think that this hell itself.

The final act is rather clumsy and becomes pretty generic. The usual getaway attempts are combined with a couple of convenient plot-threads being tied up.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Best Film ever!
By li on 29 July 2007
Format: DVD
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.

5.0 out of 5 starsSets a new – and disturbing – standard among modern day films
By Albatross on 14 Oct. 2014
Format: DVD
In case you didn’t already know... ‘Hostel’ (the second major film by Eli Roth) kind of spawned the rather dubious genre of ‘torture porn.’ This is where gratuitous on-screen violence is displayed for our – the audience’s – entertainment.

And that’s basically the premise of the film. If you’re okay with that, you’ll enjoy it. As, believe it or not, there’s also a story woven somewhere in there. Two American teenagers are backpacking across Europe where they hear of a ‘legendary’ hostel in Eastern Europe where the girls outnumber the guys and do all sorts of other stuff (to put it mildly). Naturally, they head off there and – even more naturally still – they fall foul to all sorts of unspeakable scenarios.

And, if you can get over of the violence, it’s not actually that bad. You’ll like the characters – they’re dumb enough to be believable as your average backpacking teenagers, but not so stupid enough that you’ll be shouting at the screen when they make the wrong decisions. Plus the ‘threat’ element is pretty original and based on numerous urban legends.

So, just to check, if you’re okay with gratuitous sex and violence and generally like horror films then you should probably enjoy this (and part II even, but just don’t bother with part III – it went straight to DVD).
