Hostel is the final destination for a trio of obnoxious students, partying across Europe in search of exotic thrills. The tables are turned when they are lured into a trap by beautiful women, falling prey to an ultra-sinister blood thrill business. This house of horrors is so heinous and horrific that you can’t help but root for the boys, no matter how annoying they are, to (hopefully) exact a fitting revenge, or at least escape from their dire predicament – if only to get us all out of the movie!
It’s all so gruesome that you forgive how unlikely it would be for a bunch of rich American kids to disappear without somebody raising a fuss. Roth’s inspiration Japanese exploitation genius Takashi Miike (Audition, Visitor Q) cameos as a rich sadist.
