Hostel Synopsis:
Full of adventure and fun, American college buddies Paxton and Josh backpack through Europe eager to make classically hazy travel memories with new friend Oli, an Icelander. Paxton and Josh are eventually lured by a fellow trav eler to what’s described as 'a land of milk and honey' for American backpackers – a hostel in a remote Slovakian town stocked with Eastern European women as desperate as they're gorgeous.
The two friends arrive and easily pair off with Natalya and Svetlana. In fact, too easily… Initially distracted by the good time they’re being shown, the Americans quickly find themselves in an increasingly sinister situation that they’ll discover is as wide as the vast web of post-Communist corruption and as deep as the darkest, sickest recess of human nature itself – if they survive.
More macabre than Roth’s CABIN FEVER, HOSTEL amalgamates many of the most terrifying things about human nature and the world at large, culled from pulpy-but-true stories of organized crime, human trafficking, and sex tourism. Graphic and deeply disturbing, the film is sure to delight hard core genre fans |
