Hostel - The Horror Movie
Just a show of hands on how many readers were
planning on seeing the latest horror film coming to the screen, Hostel?
I figured it might attract at least one or two travelers one, because of the name and two, because of the plot outline.
Seems as though three curious backpackers stumble into a city in the Slovak Republic to find it's nothing like their
Lonely Planet guides described. Instead it's a gory hell. However, the film was actually filmed mostly in
The story is inspired by true events, which basically came from a website director, Eli Roth was shown that advertised itself as a "murder vacation," offering users the chance to torture and kill someone for $10,000. That's pretty damn sick, but as there are welcoming, sun-filled paradises in the world there are also black, fiery hell-ridden places. Mainly in the minds of some men if you ask me and I wish no traveler to experience them. Aside from that bit of trivia, the film also gained the record for an American film with the most languages and no subtitles. Nine different languages are used. Very, very twisted and interesting.

Good Luck or "no roc" as they say in Romania. Sure you'll be fine. You made it through Beulah if I'm not mistaken?

I don't know who wrote this review but I'm damn sure he didn't know what he was writing. This whole crap was filmed in Czech Republic but the story took place in Slovak Republic. The life and institutions are so horribly interpreted that I was shocked when I saw this ( and I know what I'm talking about, I'm from Slovak republic) piece of s**t. For example the old cars( they must be taken from some kind of museum or what), old TV, slovak" whores", little gypsies, police brutality... So this film has definitely proved my opinion that Americans are realy motherf*****s who don't know anything about the rest of the world. And to the film: It makes me laugh a lot, and the Snowhite is more scary than this. And the languages were english, german, russian,japanese, czech, slovak and some strange mix of czech and slovak language.
