Hostel

Rating: 2/10 (26 December 2015)

This one gets one point for special effects, and one more because there is no zero rating on this site. Three red-blooded young American males touring Europe with backpacks and sowing some wild oats meet up with a stranger in Amsterdam who persuades them that a hostel in Slovakia is where they should be, where the girls are...heck, why wouldn't they? If they knew what lay in store for them they would have been on the first plane back to the States, but alas...
This is another sick fantasy from the brain of Quentin Tarantino, the hostel in question is run by people who supply victims for an outfit that offers a service to people with equally sick minds, strap him - or her - to a chair and kill him as quickly or as slowly as you like. The police are in on it too, in fact this is an enormous conspiracy, it has to be, which begs the question, can it really be run at a profit unless its clients are billionaires?
Fortunately, this sort of operation cannot exist in real life, unfortunately there are plenty of warmongers, terrorists and serial killers on the loose doing similar things, which begs the question, how many of the latter have been inspired by the likes of Quentin Tarantino?
