Presented by genre master 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.
