In brief the film is based around a couple of backpackers who decide to do a euro tour. During their tour they visit a number of hostels, they begin to tire of site seeing and when they ask where all the action is they are repeatedly given the name of a particular hostel. They decide to make tracks to there (obvious bad decision). When they get there yes, all the pretties are there as promised, but they are a front for the local execution / torture for cash club which is in operation. The guys end up roped in and having to fight their way out to survive. I wont spoil it by telling you the ending but odds are you can guess. I love a good horror film, however IMHO this isnt one. The story was a bit thin, way to much focus on hormones, the last 20 mins was where it all happened and even then it was paper thin horror. I watched the film 3 times incase i missed some plot when i fell asleep during the first play, but I didn`t.. If your after a good horror IMHO best look elsewhere folks. The one thing the film did do though was put me off going far into europe (just in case).

Sorry for the lower rate but more info would be helpful. You've given a brief idea of the plot but what's on this DVD that makes it the 'Unseen Edition' What extras are there etc. :-)
