The two friends arrive and soon easily pair off withe 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.

Advantages: Totally gorey +++++, funny at times. Disadvantages: Not very scary, storyline is a bit patchy with no plot
...Tarantino involved in it.
Hostel is not my cup of tea but if you fancy a quick fix of guts and gore then I think you will be impressed with this movie.

Advantages: gorey, bloody, excellent Disadvantages: don't connect with the characters
A masterpiece from Eli Roth. Gory, bloody and horrible. Perfect. PLOT - Two friends are backpacking around Europe and are having the time of their lives with adventure and the ladies. However, this turns in to a nightmare for them. Two beautiful girls drug them and take them to a place where people pay to murder people, with two of the people being the main characters. This is when then gore starts, it is over the top and disgusting and makes you ... ...get out alive or not? How much horror can one film fit in? Well Quentin Tarantino gave a helping hand so that should tell you something! THE GOOD - Plenty of gore and blood with an orginal story. The special effects are very good and make the film a lot more realistic and adds to the fright.
THE BAD - The characters aren't easy to warm to OVERALL - A good standard horror that will frighten you. Just don't watch it before you go backpacking around ...

Advantages: NONE WHATSOEVER! Disadvantages: All of it, very gruesome, OTT, shouldn't be released.
Sorry this is going to be a very negative review. I went to see this film with a friend, completely oblivious to the nature of its content.
I am rather weak stomached, but also very political, so was very shocked / appauled / upset to sit through this film (too much pride to walk out).
It is true Quentin Tarantino, but way too gruesome for me. I am rather shocked that it has been allowed to be released. One moment that I still have nightmares about ... ...are slashed. Makes me want to heave. Seriously! I am seriously wondering where people get these ideas from and I know it is just a film, but with the way society is now with gun and knife crimes, I think this adds fuel to the fire. We don't need torture too.
I think what's more worrying though is I heard this may even be based on a true story? I hope that's a rumour. ...

Advantages: very original, gore Disadvantages: not many special effects etc.
Hostel is a great movie if you are into your blood, horror and gore as i am. From start to finish it doesn't disappoint with scene after scene of torture in the hostel. The setting is great in the Slovakian city of Bratislava, its a great city and a good storyline. The characters are well acted out and what seems like a farfetched storyline is actually made to be quite believable. I really recommend this film for all lovers of blood, horror and gore ...

The hallowed tradition of the post-college European backpacking trip turns into an unimaginable nightmare for two unsuspecting American 20-somethings in Eli Roth's (CABIN FEVER) sensational second outing. Paxton (Jay Hernandez) and Josh (Derek Richardson) have embarked upon a hedonistic tour of the continent, and somewhere along the way pick up travelling companion Oli (Eythor Gudjonsson). In Amsterdam the trio partakes of the pastimes most dear to frat boys everywhere: weed, prostitutes, and nightclubs. But when a fellow traveller tells these thrill-seekers about the decadent scene that awaits them in Bratislava, they find themselves unable to resist its lures; enticed by the promise of a hostel full of beautiful girls who love Americans, they set out for the remote areas of Eastern Europe. There, the sex farce to which the film's first half is devoted slowly turns ominous, as the boys hook up immediately with the gorgeous Natalya (Barbara Nedeljakova) and Svetlana (Jana Kaderabkova), whose eagerness masks more sinister intentions. Soon, the disagreeable backpackers find themselves on the other side of the flesh trade, sold by the girls into an exclusive human trafficking operation that gives its customers the opportunity to torture and kill a helpless victim. Much of what follows consists of the squirm-inducing surgical horrors that characterise precursors such as SAW, with the implications regarding the capitalist system and the human soul becoming ever darker. Produced by Quentin Tarantino, the film amps up the gore factor as much as it can get away with, and, in the tradition of the best horror films, offers a satirical socially conscious commentary.
