The Perils of Unbridled Hedonism

Rating: 9/10 (14 August 2019)

Two young American backpackers embark on a trip to Europe to have some fun. The sights, booze, drugs and lots of girls are the buffet the meatheads desire to feast on. One thing leads to another and the dynamic duo find themselves an offer to the hottest chicks in poor and nondescript Eastern Europe. What they're about to meet is something straight out of a nightmare from hell.
Well made for an indie, "Hostel" works in all places. Good acting, good direction and well paced the film could have been a blockbuster if not for its subject matter. But it's not all blood and gore - it's Hollywood so there's an unexpected turn of events that leads to a thriller akin to "Indiana Jones". Depicting unflinchingly the dark and infernal reality of this world, this is a standout in the Horror genre and one film you'll never forget.
