DVD Synopsis

Cabin Fever director Eli Roth skips the humor of his freshman feature and goes straight for the jugular in this unrelenting scare-fest about a pair of libidinous American backpackers seeking cheap thrills in the European countryside. Their carefree college days close behind and the responsibility of the real world looming ever closer on the horizon, Josh (Derek Richardson) and Paxton (Jay Hernandez) strap on their backpacks and prepare for a stratospheric last hurrah of booze, babes, drugs, and debauchery halfway across the globe. It's during a visit to Amsterdam that the pair meets up with raucous Icelandic backpacker Oli (Eythor Gudjonsson), and after the three globe-trotting thrill seekers catch wind of a Slovakian city whose male population has dwindled as a result of civil strife -- leaving the ladies ready and willing to accept any male companionship that might turn up at the local hostel -- the trio quickly beats a hasty retreat to the out-of-the-way oasis. Upon check-in, the trio is greeted by a bevy of beautiful locals and is quickly convinced that the hedonistic hideaway is indeed the real deal. Hazily awakening the following morning to find no trace of backpacking buddy Oli, Paxton chalks his former traveling companion's disappearance up to capriciousness and prepares for another day of debauchery, despite Josh's rapidly elevating sense of unease. Now trapped defenselessly in a foreign land without any means of escape and no way of anticipating the unimaginable hell that lies ahead, the pair is plunged into a torturous netherworld where the screams of the damned fill the air with dread and the warm rays of the sun are little more than a fading memory. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

My son told me to watch this movie because I had never even heard of it and we were watching Halloween and Jason movies. It was a very scary and gory movie and if that is the type someone likes to watch then this is the movie for you. This is not a movie for a child to watch.

It keeps your attention and keeps you on edge wondering what is going to happen next. I had to order Part II.

Much more hype than actual substance. The movie is well filmed and they develop the characters just enough for you to actually care about them which played to its strengths. The gore was a times quite good and other times laugh out loud stupid (intentionally so). No real plot to speak of... just a scenario of torture which will work for a lot of horror fans. Not a classic or even worthy of cult status, but it will leave an impression on you (for better or worse). Those squeamish should avoid... horror fans may find it lacking slightly in some areas though. Worth a one time watch though. Just be sure to avoid Hostel 2 (pretty much the same movie).

I can only describe this movie as "gore porn." It makes me worry for our culture. I usually love horror movies, including the gory ones (Hell raiser, Halloween, Scream) but I had to stop halfway through because the material in Hostel as so disturbing to me. Not for people with weak stomachs or functioning value systems.

Creepy, no?
