Film review - Hostel

HOSTEL – the place where all your darkest and sickest imagination could come true.

HOSTEL – Sick, twisted, disgusting and absolutely brilliant (Horrormovies.ca). Graphic, deeply disturbing and inspired by real facts does not leave anybody indifferent. Moreover, it is sure to shock even the biggest enemies of horror.

Although the name of famous Quentin Tarantino appears on posters, the director of the film is Eli Roth, who always tries to make his films as real as possible. The movie was produced in the USA. Even though the actors are not very popular, their act is quite good. Jay Hernandez played the starring role of Paxton, Derek Richardson was cast in the role of Josh and Eythor Gudjonsson made his debut as Oli – these are three main characters.

Hostel is the story of two American college buddies Paxton and Josh who travel through Europe looking for unforgettable adventures and experiences. Recently met friend – Oli talks them into going to Slovakia, which he describes as a land of milk and honey. The three of them end up in this “place of nirvana” in a town full of beautiful Eastern-European girls, who, however, are there not by chance. The buddies stay in a hostel, where they meet Natalya and Svetlana. Initially, they are so absorbed in pleasantly spending time with the two girls that they do not see that have run into trouble. It will not be easy to get out from this trap. Will they cope with that? Watch and see…

Hostel combines many of the most terrifying things about human nature and the world at large, culled from pulpy-but-true stories of organized crime, human trafficking and sex tourism. If you enjoy fear, excitement, shocking pictures that will be stamped on your memory forever, this is the film for you.
