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.

    "...blood-splattered follow-up to [Director, Eli Roth's] 2003 sleeper hit, Cabin Fever."  Tim Knight, Reel.com

    Entertainment Weekly
    "[Roth] digs deep into the nightmare of a society ruled by the profit of illicit desire." -- Grade: B 01/13/2006 p.53-55

    Uncut
    "[I]t's devastatingly effective....It's hands-over-your-eyes horrible, toe-curlingly savage and, eventually, strangely haunting." 05/01/2006 p.142

    Sight and Sound
    "HOSTEL confirms Roth as one of the brighter hopes for mainstream horror....His troubling climax lets us wallow in violent retribution." 05/01/2006 p.56

    Total Film
    3 stars out of 5 -- "[A] backpackers-in-peril shocker that's happiest pummeling the gut..." 09/01/2006 p.101

    Uncut
    4 stars out of 5 -- "[A]kin to '70s horror classics like NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD or THE HILLS HAVE EYES, mordant allegories, cruelly funny." 09/01/2006 p.126

    Ultimate DVD
    4 stars out of 5 -- "An excruciating, chilling and supremely entertaining horror thriller." 09/01/2006 p.190

    Variety.com 7 of 10
    Wisely, perhaps, Roth has given us principal characters who are dislikable enough so that the threat of their imminent demise isn't all that troubling. Oli is a lout, Paxton is a foul-mouthed fratboy and Josh is a social incompetent - characteristics which should have clued them in a lot earlier that something was amiss when Miss Slovakia and her first runner-up (Barbara Nedeljakova, Jana Kaderabkova) come on to them so strongly. - John Anderson
