They are willing to go out of their way on vacation for some easy sex, and are the perfect prey for crimes like this. Roth is trying to show how shallow these guys are. This takes up nearly half of Hostel, which is the films biggest weakness.
Everything is fine until Oli disappears without a word. The trio quickly meet Natalya (Barbara Nedeljakavoa, Doom, Shanghai Knights) and Svetlana (Jana Kaderabkova), two hot and oft-naked girls who quickly prove the guys right. There, the women supposedly are crazy for men and willing to do anything. They learn about a hostel in Slovakia that not many people know about. They hook up with Icelandic Oli (Eythor Gudjonsson) and spend most of their time getting drunk, high, and trying to hook up with chicks. Josh (Derek Richardson, Dumb & Dumberer) and Paxton (Jay Hernandez, Friday Night Lights, Ladder 49) are Americans backpacking through Europe. It's a great premise, but Roth takes his time in getting to the goods.įirst, he spends nearly half the movie setting up the premise. The victims come from a local youth hostel, where astoundingly attractive women lure horny foreign males to their unsuspecting doom. The basic premise is that there is a place in Slovakia where people can pay to kill others. Any movie that can get Japanese director Takashi Miike ( Three Extremes, Gozu) certainly deserves some attention. Hostel is a seriously demented film, but at the same time, it is a surprisingly gruesome crowd-pleaser. Mainly because the movies he makes are not god-awful. Of all the recent directors dabbling in the horror genre, Eli Roth ( Cabin Fever) is one of the more interesting ones.
