Sick and twisted release from Eli Roth

Rating: 8/10 (8 March 2009)

Hostel (2005) is the first part of the surprise horror hit Hostel series. Made on a relatively small budget, Hostel is one of the many "torture horror" films that were made following the success of the Saw series. he movie follows a trio of young guys looking for fun and pleasure in Europe. After a stop in Holland, the guys meet a ratty looking Eastern European dude who suggest that they go and party in Slovakia. Taking the weird dude's suggest, they head off to a weekend they'll never forget.
I wasn't a big fan of Eli Roth's first film so I was very hesitant about seeing this one. But I was very pleased after seeing it. Hardcore horror is back.
