Hostel

Hostel tells the story of two college buddies backpacking through Europe. The two adventurous American college pals Paxton (Jay Hernandez) and Josh (Derek Rishardson) are eager to make quintessentially hazy travel memories along with their new friend Oli (Eythor Gudjonsson), an Icelander they have met during their travels.

When a fellow traveler describes a virtual nirvana for American backpakers – a certain hostel in an out-of-the-way Slovakian town full of beautiful and desperate Eastern Eurpoean women – Paxton and Josh are lured out to the hostel. The two college guys head quickly out to the hostel and immediately pair off with exotic beauties Natalya and Svetlana. Taken in by the beauty of the two women, Paxton and Josh don’t realize that the matchmaking process may have been a bit too good to be true.

Because the two red-blooded American buddies are initially distracted by the good time they’re having, they 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.

Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino presents Eli Roth’s Hostel, the follow-up to the writer-director’s debut film, 2002’s Cabin Fever. Hostel is described by Lions Gate Films as a relentlessly graphic and deeply disturbing film, sure to shock even the most hard core genre fans. It is described as a mixture of many of the most terrifying things about human nature and the world at large, culled from many impossible-but-true stories of human trafficking, international organized crime, and sex tourism.
