HOSTEL
SYNOPSIS
Internationally renowned filmmaker Quentin
Tarantino presents Eli Roth's HOSTEL, the follow-up
to the writer-director's hit debut, 2002's CABIN
FEVER. More grisly than Roth's feature bow, HOSTEL
is a mixture of many of the most terrifying things
about human nature and the world at large, culled
from many impossible-but-true stories of human
trafficking, international organized crime, and sex
tourism. Relentlessly graphic and deeply disturbing,
the film is sure to shock even the most hard core
genre fans.
HOSTEL tells the story of two adventurous American
college buddies Paxton and Josh who backpack
through Europe eager to make quintessentially hazy
travel memories with new friend Oli, an Icelander
they've met along the way.

HOSTEL tells the story of two adventurous American
college buddies Paxton and Josh who backpack
through Europe eager to make quintessentially hazy
travel memories with new friend Oli, an Icelander
they've met along the way.
Paxton and Josh are eventually lured by a fellow traveler to what's described as a nirvana for
American backpackers - a particular hostel in an out-of-the-way Slovakian town stocked with Eastern
European women as desperate as they are gorgeous. The two friends arrive and soon easily pair off
with exotic beauties Natalya and Svetlana. In fact, too easily…
Initially distracted by the good time they're having, the two Americans quickly find themselves trapped
in an increasingly sinister situation that they will discover is as wide and as deep as the darkest,
sickest recess of human nature itself - if they survive.
