Hostel

[jackskellington]

I can't freakin' wait for this movie!! From the looks of the images they've released, it looks like Eli Roth is the new king of gore!! Cabin Fever was just disgusting and this may be even worse!

[The Blind Dead]

I'm definitely anticipating this one. I enjoyed Cabin Fever.

[jackskellington]

It's like old school Sam Raimi and Peter Jackson both donated sperm which was used to impregnate Jewel Shepard and the outcome was Eli Roth. It's about time a truly sick minded individual got financing!!

[Raimi Rules!]

damn this looks fookin kewl :evil:

[Pain]

I agree. Eli Roth does look like he has a promising career ahead of him :)

[jackskellington]

Here's a review from the premiere screening...

http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/review/684

[jackskellington]

Anyone out there near here so that they can go see it?

http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/index.php?Show=4654&Template=newsfull

[The Blind Dead]

Man...this is high on my list of MUST SEE's.

[hardcoreone2]

I've been following this film for a long time. Eli Roth is poised to become the next King of American Horror. I mean, the guy talked Takashi Miike into doing a cameo for Hostel. Who else could do that?

[jackskellington]

Looks like Sony is gonna wuss out or something. Let's all have a big round of applause for Lion's Gate! They're the only company that doesn't seem to be afraid to release these types of movies like Devil's Rejects and such!! :clap:

http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/index.php?Show=4867&Template=newsfull

[The Blind Dead]

Yeah I've been reading that this film is extremely dark and intense. Though Lions Gate has been heaving some super shitty horror on as of late...I'm glad they still have an eye for solid, adult horror.

It's nice to get some REAL horror released, and LGF seem to have there eye on the ball. Not that I ever sing LGF's praises or anything! :lol:

[Slumlord]

Looks pretty interesting.

[hardcoreone2]

Hostel got it's R rating. They had to cut 16 frames from the eyeball scene. I had heard rumours that the scene wasn't up to Eli Roth's liking anyway.

Eyeball scene? Think it will compare to Fulci's Zombie eyeball scene?

Different story about that here...

Oh man oh man this is gonna be good! I'm dying to get my paws on this and McKee's The Woods.

[hardcoreone2]

Different story about that here...

http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/index.php?Show=4885&Template=newsfull


Yeah. At first everyone was reporting it was the eyeball scene that was cut, now they're saying it was something else entirely.

[hardcoreone2]

January 6, 2006 is the official release date Lion's Gate announced today for Hostel!

I can't wait! :evil:

That's fantastic news! :)

[hardcoreone2]

That's fantastic news! :)

I just wish it were tomorrow!

[The Blind Dead]

DVD or Theatrical release? I know Tarantino's name is going over the title so I'm figuring theatrical but I figured I'd ask.

[hardcoreone2]

Yeah it's theatrical. I'm so stoked! Eli Roth is amazing.

[hardcoreone2]

Lions Gate announced today that the theatrical release of Hostel is being pushed up to Dec 21! Just in time for Christmas! :clap:

[The Blind Dead]

Good I can expect the DVD release before my birthday in March.

[hardcoreone2]

Good I can expect the DVD release before my birthday in March.

Yeah, the way they're quiclky going from theaters to dvd now days, it'll probably come out in Feb

TEASER TRAILER!!!!!!!

[jackskellington]

SWEET NEW WEBSITE AS WELL! (Not much to it as of yet, but the whistling and the graphics are pretty cool.)

http://www.hostelfilm.com/

[The Blind Dead]

Here's some bad ass stills from Hostel.

http://www.horrorchannel.com/dread/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=2996

[jackskellington]

Awesome pics BD!! I especially like the girl sitting in the chair with her right eyeball hanging out.

[hardcoreone2]

I absolutely can't wait to see Hostel. This film is going to blow the socks off of any horror film that has been released theatrically here in the States for quite some time.

[Pain]

I think you may well be 100% correct with that statement hardcoreone2! It does look fantastic and I can't wait to see it either! :)

[hardcoreone2]

Well Lions Gate has apparantly pushed Hostel back to Feb 3 2006. This is the third time they have switched dates. I think this is a pretty bad move as it's Super Bowl weekend, plus Screen Gems PG-13 rated remake of When a Starnger Calls is opening the same day. :cry:

[nyteKrawlerr]

i dont think that "when a stranger calls" will be a problem as far as opening up on the same day...with so many movies being "remade" its beginning to drive people away and towards new original stuff /shrug atleast thats what i would think.

saw the trailer at the movie theater, looks pretty sick...cant wait.

~nyte

[jackskellington]

New Poster...

[B00Ne]

I can't wait for this one.

That poster looks like a ripoff of the adds for Saw though.

[Nemesis]

I can't wait to see this, I saw the trailer when I watched Saw 2. The pliers to that girl's toe still gets to me, damn this movie looks sick.

[The Blind Dead]

Yeah the poster is a bit too "SAW" but I'm ready for this baby! January is the month of madness!

[Nemesis]

January is the month of madness! What else happens in January?

[jackskellington]

[B00Ne]

I just read that Takashi Miike is in this! This just keeps getting better and better :clap:

[Horror Darla]

When does this film come out? I met and had a great visit with Eli Roth at a film festival. He was so freaken cool. I met him right before Cabin Fever was released, so I had no idea how great the movie was.
I'll be looking forward to catching his new flick! :clap:

[The Blind Dead]

January 6th has become the "final" theatrical date.

I love that fetish poster. Wonderful stuff.

[Horror Darla]

Sweet! Thanks for telling me the release date, I'll be there! The posters rock.
When I met Eli and had coffee with him, he was the most down to earth awesome dude you have ever met.

re: no tarantino info at the hostel web site

He wasn't really "part" of the crew per say.

his name has a link, though, and when you click it it says "coming soon"

I'm just surprised with the movie so close that they'd leave such a professional looking site unfinished like that.

btw, i was searching for some King Kong info and came across this web site:

http://www.moviesonline.ca/film2417.htm

seems to have all the Hostel info in one convenient location. Posters, video clips, interviews...

[The Blind Dead]

Tarantino's name on Hostel is no different from Wes Craven or John Carpenter lending their names to the whole "Presents..." credit. I'm sure Tarantino helped produce and I'm sure he had a few small tasks in the actual production itself but I know he's purposely taken diminished role in this because he didn't want to focus to leave Roth and the film itself.

[eardrumbuz]

I'm not questioning his involvement in the production, just making an observation about the design of the web page. it just seems strange to me that they'd bother to put his name in the list of links on the 'cast and crew' page and not add any info for him. there's info for everyone else on the list, including co-producers and production designer.

[jackskellington]

I've seen a couple trailers for Hostel.

It looks interesting. Comes out the day before my b-day, so seeing it is going to be my b-day present to myself lol.

Can't wait.

I hated cabin fever, but this look like it might be really good.

It dosen't look that bad for another "gross blood and gore torture" story. It could acually be pretty popular, since other films like Saw, Saw 2 and House of Wax got good looks at. I acually might see this film.

[Book]

Maniac (http://www.diabolical-dominion.com/Downloads/maniac-wallpaper.jpg), anyone?


HAHAHAHAHAHA! Nice!

The commercials on t.v. say ''paremedics were called..blah blah''. Didn't zany monster movie makers of the 50s use to do that? Hire an ambulance to circle the theatres to say ''someone was scared to death!''.

[devourthesun]

I am so excited about this movie. I think im going to try and drag my girlfriend along with me to go see it but she hid her face when i showed her Day of the Dead during some of the more gut spilling/chomping scenes so im not sure how well shes going to take this one. But i cant wait!

Im loving this rise in savage horror films these past couple of years, especially now with Wolf Creek and now Hostel.

[The Guest]

this movie looks like it will be one of my favs of all time and i hope it is good as it looks i have no doubt it will be tho.

[Pain]

Roll on friday lunchtime! This really looks like it could be great :)

[nyteKrawlerr]

ok wtf,...

1hr 35mins?! dammit, finally get a weekend with 3 different movies that cover pretty much all the main gernes! we got hostel - horror, bloodrayne - action/adventure, and grandma's boy - comedy....but not any of the movies run longer than 1hr 36mins!!! wtf....

i dont like super long movies (lord of the rings: return of the king), but i really dont like movies that have me out of there in an hour and thirty minutes time!! omgz....

oh well, i'm still gonna see all 3 probably either ways :p

lol, peace!

~nyte

[Pain]

Just got back from seeing Hostel. This is one very cool movie. It builds up quite nicely to a frenetic last hour hour :) Also it was nice to see Takeshi Miike on the other side of the camera, albeit very briefly

[RayneFyre]

Just got in from seeing Hostel.

Have to admit it was pretty good. I think it should have a higher rating than R, but hey, it wasn't my decision...

Not as much blood, guts and torture as I thought there was going to be. So, I didn't miss much of the film :) That's always a plus.

Don't get me wrong, it was still gory and such. Just some of it was more implied than actually showing it. Still a very good movie.

I would recommend going to see it :)

[Captain Boosh]

Yeah, it's definitely a HARD R by today's standards. Haven't seen that many boobies in a theater ever, usually only on DVD. And yeah, the gore isn't really in your face very often, but then again we may all be very desensitized by this stuff by now. But, there is some good gore that would make normal people squeemish.

Overall I give it a 9 out of 10. It's a great movie in today's market, but it still doesn't surpass Cabin Fever in the way you felt when the movie is over (but that's just me because I loved Cabin). This movie is VERY serious and heart pounding. The suspense was prett overwhelming at times because you know that no matter how good things are going, the proverbial sh!t is going to hit the fan at some point.

[Bub4President]

Just saw Hostel. This is definitely the movie to beat for 2006.Top notch, gritty, raw and the story, although not based on of a true story, touches on the very real human trafficing epidemic out of the old Soviet block countries.

Lol, That one line still makes me laugh

Guy: Hey what's that gun for?
Oldman: Its for Ni@@ers ROFL

Then when they get out of the store

Girl: Did he just say ni@@er?

[Victor Clark]

Acually, I think that blond guy said that last line, but it was still pretty damn funny! Especially at the end when those black guys came into the store, and the old dude gives them their gun. :lol:

[zombiekilling101]

I saw it this morning and really enjoyed it. I cant wait for the unrated dvd casue there were some scenes that you could tell had more to them. It really had some great acting in it and you or at least I felt the peoples pain, especially the more innocent of the people. poor guy.

So I recommend seeing it in the theater. I give it a 8 out of 10.

If you didnt like Cabin Fever and are weary about seeing Hostel for that reason, its nothing really along the lines of it with the situations and such.

Good movie

I agree with you there ZK101. I'm hoping too for an unrated version, as it wasn't as extreme as I was maybe expecting. I expect (or hope) there will be extended scenes of torture on the dvd, as like you said there did seem to be more to them. Although saying that it was fairly harsh in places.

damn chill out dude, if your so worried about it than dont read the thread until you see the movie, people do make mistakes and this is a site where people discuss horror films... discussing plots and such is a natural thing.

NO SPOILER

who was your favorite character? Mine is the one american buisnessman that paxton talks to in the lockerroom.. that was.. great.

First of all...this is a messageboard and that is bold print. There's no need for anybody to "chill out". I wasn't losing sleep or screaming at the computer.

Secondly, to tell somebody not to read a post on a movie because somebody MIGHT drop a spoiler isn't realistic. Discussing the plot is one thing...dropping spoilers is another. You know the diff right? That is, after all, why we insist people use spoiler warnings. It's a consideration thing and being that there's a ton of newbs on the forum not all can be expected to know that.

SPOILER

Don't talk down to me. I'm well aware of what people do on a horror forum.

[zombiekilling101]

Don't talk down to me. I'm well aware of what people do on a horror forum.

no need to be a dick just cause someone said something to you

it is considerate to post a spoiler.. but its also very stupid and unreasonable if you expect horror fans to sit by and not say a word that would maybe ruin the story for someone else, when they are eager to discuss points and plot twists.. and remember you can always stop reading the post. watching a movie trailer can ruin alot of things and I assume that you watch them.

I wasnt talking down to you, why would I .. your over the internet.

[The Blind Dead]

but its also very stupid and unreasonable if you expect horror fans to sit by and not say a word that would maybe ruin the story for someone else

It's STUPID and UNREASONABLE to expect people to use spoiler warnings? What's stupid and unreasonable about expecting somebody to tread carefully for other peoples benefit? It would be the same if people were discussing it in the same room. We're not talking about a film that's been out for a year on DVD either, this is a film that just saw release in theaters. It's important that spoilers are labeled as such for others.

Fact is, it's stupid and unreasonable to NOT warn people before you reveal important plot points. For somebody that claims to make his own movies, I'm surprised you have it backwards.

Back to the thread at hand. I'll do my best to PM you with spoilers everytime a horror film comes out. You seem to be the only one who appreciates them. :)

listen, if you know that things are likely to get spoiled (like how you got made in this thread about a cabin fever line getting said "thats been out for a few years now" , how high tension got spoiled for you "also out for awhile" and how wolf creek is being chatted about) maybe you just shoulding read them until you see them. nobody spoiled this movie man, thus why you should chill out.

you didnt have to take a shot at my movie making ability just casue you have nothing better to say, seeing that you dont know me in person and only know about my shorts is kind of chicken shit.

Ill look forward to the spoilers.

freinds?

[The Blind Dead]

you didnt have to take a shot at my movie making ability just casue you have nothing better to say

I always have much better to say. As for your filmmaking, no shot was intended toward your films. If you perceived it that way, you probably missed my point.

Now back to our regularly scheduled topic.

In any case, I'm excited to see the film. It appears to be a step up for Roth. He's got a great new review over at suicidegirls.com for anybody interested.

[zombiekilling101]

In any case, I'm excited to see the film. It appears to be a step up for Roth. He's got a great new review over at suicidegirls.com for anybody interested.

Fangoria gave it a bad review and gave it the same rank as bloodrayne. I havent seen the latter but if its anything like his last ones than im sure it will blow.

I hope Eli doesnt get into the hollywood crappy movie stage, seeing that he's producing the Baywatch movie:loon:

hostel- The american buisnessman will trip you guys out, such a fantastic acting job.

[The Blind Dead]

I love Fango because I grew up reading it but I've lost a considerable amount of respect for them in the last few years. Especially after seeing films like Skinned Deep. I find myself trusting their opinions and reviews less and less.

I normally read Rue Morgue when I want the low down on a film.

[Captain Boosh]

Yeah, I happened to read that Fango review and thought he was being way too critical. It's a horror movie for Christ's sake. How many terrible horror movies have been made? Way too many to count. This is by no means one of those to warrant a 2/5.

I think anyone can easily say this movie is way above average on the ole' horror movie meter. It may not be some perfect ten in movies overall, but for it's genre, it's a damn well made product.

8.5/10 for me. It's a movie, nothing more. It doesn't try to invoke some serious thought other than that stuff is shocking and somewhat scary. I sure was never the traveling type before this movie and am REALLY not going to any remote places anytime soon. It may not be real, but you know similar things do go on in weird parts of the world.

[Book]

I sure was never the traveling type before this movie and am REALLY not going to any remote places anytime soon. It may not be real, but you know similar things do go on in weird parts of the world

I had the opportunity to go to Prague this last fall, which was just this incredible experience, and ended up living with this girl I met at the HOSTEL I was staying at for a bit. A great book to check out is "The World's Most Dangerous Places" which is like a travel book for the daredevils out there. And guess who is listed as a ''dangerous place''? yup, America. Foreign travelers have way more to fear than I thought and actually are the victims of fraud and violence a lot more than is reported.
One example given in the book was that Japanese females are discouraged from travelling here since they are targeted by rapist who know they would be too afraid to report the attact to police, ect.
Anywhere is dangerous yeah, and I guess it is more freaky if you feel like you are in a place where no one will help you because of who you are. It's not a feeling most of us really have to experience. But I wouldn't stop travelling over it.
I know you said ''weird remote places'' and, yeah, you should always excercise caution. I would consider most of Texas ''weird and remote'' though. :evil:

[Pain]

In reply to ZK101, my favourite character(s) were Ole just because he made me laugh, Takeshi Miike for being in the damn thing and yes the US business was great too :)

[The Blind Dead]

From the commercials I can see the US businessman is familiar. I've seen him him dozens of other things I just can't pinpoint what.

[Captain Boosh]

Believe me, I am not going anywhere in the South anytime soon. I just don't like being an outsider in a place where outsiders are looked down on. And Texas Chainsaw added to that a bit more.

No bother going to a place where it's okay, but there are many places where if you don't fit in, it can be a bad thing. And Americans have a bad reputation around the world, so that doesn't help.

I like big cities where all I can be scared of is being robber or mugged, but that doesn't scare me so much, so yeah.


Anyways, with Eli:

the biggest thing I remember him from was this wallstreet broker show on fox about 5 years ago.. I forgot what it was called but it only lasted about a season.

[Nemesis]

the biggest thing I remember him from was this wallstreet broker show on fox about 5 years ago.. I forgot what it was called but it only lasted about a season. His name is Rick Hoffman and the show you're talking about is "The $treet". I looked him up on IMDB.

[Captain Boosh]

Which one am I, that is the mystery to consider.

Hint: I may be the one wearing red.

[jackskellington]

Finally saw Hostel a couple of nights ago. Great movie, but it seemed almost "edited for television". Usually when something is edited to get an R rating for the theaters, you can't really tell it was cut, but Hostel had several spots where it was VERY obvisously cut, and not very well. Looking forward to the DVD for the solution to the problem! Lots of T & A though!!! Can't beat that!!

[The Blind Dead]

Rock on! T&A and an unrated director's cut. Could it get any better?

[jackskellington]

Hostel 2 on the way...

I hope that its not being too rushed resulting in it being a piece of crap. Im looking forward to it though.

For some reason, I thought there would be more extra footage on the DVD release? More than 20 seconds anyway.

[Arson Zombie]

Sorry! 27 seconds!!!

[Pain]

Sorry! 27 seconds!!!

You can fit an amazing amount of gore into 27 seconds though!

[The Blind Dead]

I doubt the 27 seconds is going to amount to much being that this is Eli "I'm A Horror Fanboy" Roth's movie and he personally made the cut.

It was good, I got the pre-release rental yesterday. not the buckets of blood and stuff i was hoping for, but it did teach me to stay the f-ck out of former communist nations.

[as_i_lay_dying]

I watched this movie tonight,
for the most part it was pretty cool.
Some of my friends said it was better then Saw II, that I disagree on.
Saw II was way better, I dont know i just guess I was expecting more from Hostel. Hostel for the most part was really awesome. I suggest people should rent it, or buy it.

Tho not to give anything away, but for the people who seen it.
They eye part was probably one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen come out of a horror film.:puke: I was eating when that happened. and well I lost my appitite. and I never get that way.:lol:

[A.Z.O. Commander]

oh yeah I rented this a couple days ago, it was OK, 6.5/10

I agree with you there. I enjoyed Hostel but wanted a little more. Saw 2 although not really a similar movie was in my opinion a better movie

[Ravenheart]

Just finished watching this and all I can say is DAMN!!!!I was okay until the scene near the end with the oriental girl when she was being tortured.I wasn't expecting that.The scene at the train station with her reminded me so much of the beginning scene in Suicide Circle.It wasn't a bad movie and I'm glad I finally got to see it.

[Chaz McBane]

Fu**in loved it !!! Not too much makes me go HOLYS**T these days but this on sure did. Best horror movie I have seen in quite some time.

[Victor Clark]

It was a pretty good horror flick, considering it didn't have as much gore as I thought, but it was still good.
especally when those kids attacked the car and smashed those guys' heads in with rocks. Brillant!

[Pain]

Watched it again last night. Enjoyed it more on a second viewing

[Dawn78]

Hostel is one of the greatest films I have ever seen. It was certainly the most disturbing movie, and the eyeball scene was just excrutiating to watch! What a powerful atmosphere this film has it's just sensational! It makes you wonder if there is a place like this where people do these things. I suppose we now have an idea what happened to all these people that go missing in these places? I can't wait for the uncut DVD, not to mention the fact that I will be able to jerk off to the women which is what I wanted to do at the cinema!


:evil:

[The Blind Dead]

The uncut DVD has quite a bit of flesh and blood. Good movie, not a classic though. I thought Cannibal Holocaust, I Spit On Your Grave & Aftermath were far more disturbing but to each his/her own. :)

[Zen Buddakhan]

Hostel has to be one of the best comedys I've seen in a while!
I enjoyed it alot and the T&A were top notch...excluding the dudes ass! :doh:

In the genre of House of Wax, Saw1&2, The Devils Rejects, etc...Hollywood has been putting out great horror/comedys lately?

I guess the gore has made me desensitised abit, but I do apppreciate the quality effects and makeup...TDR's rocks by the way and great sound track!

Only the Exorcism of Emily Rose and Wolf Creek have been eerily freaky enough to get a reaction out of me.

Overall Hostel : Good production values and the people and crew of the Ukraine did a professional job.

[DrDead]

Saw hostel last night. F'd up, thats the only way to explain it. Couple of points I was wondering about:

1) The scene when he clips the girl's eyeball off theres this white goo that flows out. Sorry, being an MD I don't recall any white goo flowing through any part of the human body.

2) The whole movie is a metaphor for corporate greed. Its the same old tired theme that liberals in hollywood use to ram their political agenda down our throats. Its enough to make you roll your eyes.

3) Q. Tarentino is one utterly f'd up individual. He needs 20 mg's paxil PO Qday. Schedule a repeat office visit in two to four weeks to evaluate its efficacy.

4) OK, just being a skeptic here, but if you had a ball gag in your mouth and you vomited, you wouldn't be in too good of shape. You would take the vomit down into the lungs and would rapdily develop a chemical pneumonitis that would lead to ARDS - Respiratory Distress Syndrome. Instead of fighting with people and running down the street you would be sicker than crap on a ventilator fighting for your life.

Nice film otherwise, however.

Drd.

[ZombiesDoitintheFlesh]

Hmm, I really don't understand what the big deal with this movie is? I personally thought it sucked balls and it was way overhyped! I didnt flinch or get grossed out once, and there were people passing out in theaters? I didnt see that in the theather i was in. Most of the people were just like, Eh it was ok! I have scene way more gory movies, that were 10 times worse than this, so what is the big deal about Hostel? It is just a movie of pointless nudity, sex, and death. The plot was dull and I didnt feel for any of the characters. I know a lot of you will be disagreeing with me, but I hope there are some of you out there that will see the light, that Hostel is way overrated! THank you, and goodnight!

[The Blind Dead]

2) The whole movie is a metaphor for corporate greed. Its the same old tired theme that liberals in hollywood use to ram their political agenda down our throats. Its enough to make you roll your eyes.

Actually, it was based on some stories that Roth came across regarding U.S. & European businessmen murdering members of poor families in exchange for $10,000. Probably more of an urban legend but far from the corporate greed subtext. In this case you might be reaching.


It is just a movie of pointless nudity, sex, and death.
That's not always a bad thing.

the main commentary is a good listen. And the behind the scenes stuff is funny as hell.

[zombiekilling101]

Some great moments about the behind the scenes stuff, besides the 80's guy and there band. Was when Eli was having that one bubblegum gang leader say shit like "respect" "poonani" "my wife" great funny shit.

[Zombiekillerninja]

Behind the scenes can't make a crap movie better. The only thing I liked was the ideas it gave me on what to do to Eli Roth for goddamn overhype. I was more likely to puke from Barney than this and I was watching this right after a puking spell.

[Nemesis]

I watched it on saturday. Very good movie, I was impressed. Although, there wasn't as much violence or gore than I had expected. 8/10.

[The Blind Dead]

Behind the scenes can't make a crap movie better.
I don't recall anybody saying they did. :lol:

[zombiekilling101]

Anyway. This is near the top of the list of recent 5 year horror movies for me. If you like pg-13 cheap scares, stick with those.

[Dawn78]

I cant believe some of the negative comments. Hostel is one of the best horrors in years!

[Zombie Survivor]

Well, I'm sorry to say this, but I didn't thought it was that good. It took long before the story started and I kept thinking that I watched a porn movie. It's also a pitty that it was so dark in that building. You could hardly see anything! But the gore was sweet nonetheless! :evil: I also thought it was a little predictable (train at the end). I was also puzzled on how that guy could keep running and stuff like that without suffering from the bloodloss. It was fun... but nothing special really...

[zombiekilling101]

Well, I'm sorry to say this, but I didn't thought it was that good. It took long before the story started and I kept thinking that I watched a porn movie. ...

Ahhh then you need to sit down with the Friday the 13th boxset to get your fix on 1st scene kills. Dont ever watch any horror explotation movies than my freind.

[The Blind Dead]

People that thought Hostel bordered on porn should definitely steer clear of films like Sex & Fury, Ilsa - She Wolf of the SS and Russ Meyer flicks. Their sexually innocent, Victorian worlds may collapse. :)

Roth, in my opinion, portrayed the "typical" American college guy on a trip across Europe. Shit, I know guys worse than the guys in Hostel and they never leave their apartments!

I'm really beginning to believe horror fans have lost their connection with sex and violence after so many years of recycled self-referential trash featuring girls that hint at nipple but never drop the bra.

Sex is an integral part of horror. Just my opinion though.

Why, thank you! I can definitely understand some people finding a bit "too much" sex in Hostel but horror is cathartic. It allows us to blow off steam (TRANSLATION: sexual frustration and/or aggression).

Sex has a strong connection to horror. The adrenaline, the sweat, screaming, grunting, aggression, submission, penetration, blood, tears and eventual release. I hate to be so graphic but the parallels are obvious.

Perhaps this newer generation is too used to the comfortable, sanitized horror-lite that studios are still offering up.

[ZombiesDoitintheFlesh]

Man, you call yourselves *horror fans*, I dont wanna start trouble, but is your deal? Hostel was NOT a good movie. I know its your opinions, but give me a break lol! Next you will tell me Wolf Creek was the greatest horror movie ever! Ha thats a laugh! OK, Hostel was based on real things, big f'n deal! Scarier things happen on a daily basis! For example, Jessica Simpson is still alive!! Thats really frightening! Back to my point. I went into Hostel thinking how great it was going to be! I was very wrong! The best part, is when the credits rolled. It was too predictable, bad acting, and just not a very good plot! I will keep hating this movie, as long as i have breath in my body. GAAHHH lol

[Victor Clark]

I think someone should give Mr. Grumpy above a sippy cup to clam down!

I thought it was a good movie. The only problem is that there a lot of torture movies out now, from the TCM remake to Wolf Creek. If Hostel was supposed to be REALLY good, it should've just been made a couple years earlier. I still thought it was a good movie, and would be happy to put it in my collection.

[evil-h]

Hostel was alright...Not great by any means, but I didn't come away from it thinking "wow, I just wasted that chunk of my life for nothing" as I do with quite a number of modern horror flicks...

Definatly had it's moments, I'll grant Hostel that, but over all it was rather predictable...

I dont think thats that true. Alot of the younger horror fans dont like it casue they have scare/shock movies etched into there mind. And cheap slasers like the friday series and crap. As they grow up alot of movies that they dont like will become clear to them. Its like trying to watch The shawshank redemtion when your 10.... boring than great now.

I don't agree with the expression but the reality is...it's said all the time. I never really considered the whole "gay" thing though...just the typical stereotype that overseas countries have of Americans. Loud, obnoxious, rude, sexist, sleazy and drugged out 24/7.

The REALLY funny thing is...WE ARE. I thought Hostel nailed the "stereotype" right on the head.

...a bit. :lol:

I honestly don't believe the horror-lite youth of today see the kind of sex that Hostel portrayed. When was the last time you went to the theater and actually saw that kind of sex? I haven't seen sex like that in a horror film in quite some time! Not that it was bad...I just don't think the younger crowd is all that prepared for a trip back to the mature horror cinema of the 70's & 80's.

[Pain]

I think part of the reason Hostel has divided audiences so much is that so many fans are used to Dimension style movies where something happens every 5 minutes. Hostel was a real throwback in that it had a story that built up to the horror, and didn't just dive straight in. I also think that the advertising let it down in that it built the movie up to be something that it isn't, and that is start to finish blood, guts and scares.

It is a true horror movie in my eyes and i applaud Eli Roth for not *****ing out on his second movie which would have been the easier option.

When I said this my friend, I was looking at it from wide-spectrum perspective. Hostel is a movie that would be enjoyed my the majority of most audiences. Films like Zombie flesh eaters are only gonna be appreciate by zombie fanatics who spend a large percentage of their time searching for movies that contain a walking corpse. Despite the individual opinions in this world, there will always be a generel opinon and generally Hostel will be regarded as a disturbing horror movie that people enjoy. Hostel forced me to jerk off in the corner of the cinema, and I came.

your right. We are like that! but hey, we make some kickass movies.

Your right, the last time I saw sex in a theater that much was in starship troopers back in the day. And that was nothing.

The vast majority of people whom I know who've seen it have all said the same thing - "It was alright"...

So I'm thinking You may be basing Your opinion more off Your own personal opinions of what's "crap" (Your beloved favorite word) and what's brilliance...

Eli Roth's an imaginative guy, I'll grant him that, and he holds a helluvah lot of promise...But Hostel wasn't OMFG good...It was alright...

[Crombie]

I saw this film, and have to admit I would give it a 6 out of 10. It kept me entertained for that hour and a half. I think the most unnerving part of the film is thinking about how something like this could actually happen. I know earlier in the thread someone mentioned that America is seen as being more dangerous to travel in, but I would wager a war-torn eastern european area might have a few more things going on in it that America has.

[zombiekilling101]

. I know earlier in the thread someone mentioned that America is seen as being more dangerous to travel in, but I would wager a war-torn eastern european area might have a few more things going on in it that America has.

yeah. But anywhere an American travels besides England, Austraila (freindly countries) is dangerous for us! You would truly have balls walking down an Iraqi street with a I love New York shirt.

I love the 80's pop songs they use in this movie. Especially the one playing in the disco right before Josh gets sick and goes back to the hostel.

I'm not sure which made me cringe more...the "bitches" comment or the fact that you can't tell the difference between Japanese and Chinese girls. Do they "all look the same" to you? :roll:

The irony being that the actress was English if i'm not mistaken.

It wasn't bad...I guess I just expected more, like you said. But I get irritated when I know that something is being done to force a reaction out of me. I know I know, most movies are made that way. But it really seemed bad in this one. "You will be grossed out: here!"..."You will get fustrated: here!". That kind of feeling.

[Pain]

It's definitely a movie that has divided audiences:)

[theperm]

yeah its all a matter of perspective, had you not been hyped over the movie you might have really been like wow! I didnt expect this. Overall i liked it, but it didn't rock as much as Cabin Fever did.

I have said it for months now, but Hostel had a terrible advertising campaign behind it. Not in getting the word out, but totally mis-representing the movie.

It was a good story that happened to have torture in. Hostel wasn't about torture, it just so happen to have folk tortured in it

[Mr.Dark]

Starts off too slow but gets good at end

[Dagnammit]

Here's an interesting tidbit.

If you'll remember, in this movie the criminal syndicate responsible for organising the torture vacations called themselves "Elite Hunting". You can see this on the business card the main character tosses on the floor at the end; the name is included in the email address "elitehunting@gang.rus". Now, the gang.rus domain name doesn't exist, and .rus isn't even the correct suffix for a Russian website - it's .ru - but if you type www.elitehunting.ru into your address bar and hit enter... well... weird, huh?

HOSTEL: ORIGINAL DIRECTOR’S CUT (http://www.joblo.com/arrow/dvd_reviews_index.php) - October 23rd
My immediate thought was WHY? Is there really a need for a director’s cut? For more commentaries? For another ending? For everyone who bought the original ‘sicker and more twisted unrated version’ to dip back into their wallets and fork over more dough? Methinks not. Nuff said.
[U]The Goods:
Commentary with director Eli Roth
Second commentary with Roth, Tarantino, Boaz Yakin and Scott Spiegel
Third commentary with Roth, actors Barbara Nedeljakova and Eythor Gudjonsson, editor George Folsey, Jr. and journalist Harry Knowles
Fourth commentary with Roth, producer Chris Biggs and documentarian Gabriel Roth
Five new featurettes (Music and Sound, Set Design, KNB Effects, An Icelandic Meal with Actor Eythor Gudjonsson, and Takashi Miike Interview)
“Hostel Dismembered” International TV special
KCRW radio interview with Roth by Elvis Mitchell
“Kill The Car” multi-angle featurette
Three part behind-the-scenes featurette
