EXCELLENT FOLLOW UP TO THE CULT CLASSIC "CABIN FEVER" IT'S A SAVAGE SHOCKER!!!

Rating: 9/10 (1 April 2019)

Hostel is an excellent follow up to "Cabin Fever" the cult classic dubut of Director Eli Roth.
With his 2nd movie Roth has created a terrifying eastern Europe nightmare world, but this stuff does go on all around the world that's a fact, anyway 3 backpackers are travelling around Europe & end up in a beautifull luxury Hostel that is a front for an evil institution of torture for money & it's brutally played out & set up by the excellent Roth.
What eli roth has shown here is the evil of the world, the evil that men do & the dark sadistic real world we live in, this stuff happens in real life!!!
I totally agree with Roth, nothing he could put in a Horror film could ever compare to the real Horrors of the world!!!
The world is darker & more sick & twisted than any Horror film could ever try to be & that's the truth, we exist in a living nightmare where the absolute worst things happen to women, Children & men.
It's a very scary world out there & Roth has put that fear on screen, especially that fear Americans have of foreign places & that completely out of your comfort zone is what he plays on with the creepy atmosphere & use of gradually draining all the colour out of the film as it gets more dangerous for our group of backpackers!!!!
I loved "Cabin fever" & it's one of my favourite movies of all time & Hostel is an excellent follow up movie,
although completely different it's still exciting & you can feel that Roth has lovingly crafted this movie too just like he did with Cabin Fever.
The musical score is beautiful & exciting by "Nathan Barr" & the look & cinematography is excellent.
The stand out performance is definitely "Jay Hernandez" he's excellent as Paxton the party womanizer friend, who ends up being a tough smart hero & turns the tables on the hunters.
Now i did like the characters better in "Cabin fever" as that group of kids were alot of fun & "Rider Strong" was excellent as "Paul" but it's still a well paced, exciting sinister survival Horror.
ELI ROTH is a fantastic Horror director as he knows the genre so well so with his first two films "Cabin Fever" & "Hostel" he really gives you brilliantly made movies for that genre & he still hasn't beaten those 2 films or the impact they had.
Hostel is brutally savage survival shocker with disgusting & disturbing scenes of gore & torture but it's all worth it to see Paxton (Hernandez) get some well deserved revenge later on in the movie!!!
Hostel is an excellent shocking survival Horror film & one that really brought back the blood & guts to Horror back in 2005.
Hostel is great but doesn't beat his first blood soaked masterpiece "Cabin Fever" (2002).
