Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Michael Ledo When I saw the movie at the flea market for a buck, I said, "What the heck, it's Tarantino." I had trouble following the movie due to a lack of confusing flashbacks (It's a joke.)Three guys are touring Europe doing guy things. They meet a man who tells them about a Hostel in a small isolated town in Eastern Europe where there is an overabundance of pretty women who have nothing better to do than to throw themselves at anyone with a foreign accent, and they love all Americans. When they get there (note "Pulp Fiction" on TV) it is true. Women who look like models unashamedly share sleeping quarters with men, give them drugs and have sex with them.One by one the men disappear (as do the Japanese girls) and are tortured to death, aka "Blood Sucking Freaks". Paxton (Jay Hernandez) the last of the trio demands to know where his friends are... The slaughterhouse was filmed at an actual mental hospital in Prague.Sex, nudity, f-bomb, torture.

chickentv It was pretty good but the writing kind of sucked. Director Eli Roth is not that good of director but actually is a cool dude but when it came to hostel part 2 this one looks better.

Haillstorm I have noticed that many people not only dislike this film as a whole, but tend to point out every single flaw or judge based on elements that a true movie lover/critic would not be focused on when open-mindedly enjoying a production. I not only think this film is unique, a strongly held concept, and a situational horror that is not only realistic, but actually capable of happening... I believe it is a one-of-a-kind, edge of your seat, well-acted and well-written masterpiece. When your main characters are college-induced vacationers who enjoy the wonderful perks of youth, which of course include alcohol, drugs, and banging hot chicks, I believe the dialogue and actions are spot on when it comes to portraying the mindset that the average collegiate tool obtains.I love the idea of humans taking the lives of others for a price. It takes you beneath the surface of human nature, and our need to attempt anything to get a spark of euphoria. What I think Eli was trying to accomplish is that some people do drugs, some people drink, some people have meaningless sex, and some people murder. It's all about what a human is willing to do at the expense of others to receive their own personal thrill. I very much applaud the acting, the script, the cinematography, and the concept. Those who have rated this film poorly obviously did not take from it exactly what it was attempting to say, satirically and literally. In my opinion it is worth the watch.

PetarDuric There was a partial joy considering that man like Quentin Tarantino offered some help around the movie but that was not enough to save Eli Roth's movie from a disaster that it is. Journey around the Europe is going really good but one bad decision will change it all and that decision is next place that they will visit. Paxton (Jay Hernandez) and Josh (Derek Richardson) came all the way from USA to see Europe and pick up a friend alongside on journey Oli (Eybor Gudionsson). After having ton of fun in Amsterdam they are persuaded to travel to town near Bratislava and there will horror for them and horror for audience start. There was a constant growth of tension and seeing them party and enjoy themselves it started to fell a little boring considering we are watching 1:30 horror movie with 45 minutes of story telling without horror on sight. Then after Oli disappears it was obvious something is wrong and he are flashed with his head on stick giving us sense of what might come. Actually there was some hope for the movie until horror came on sight and it was the funniest and the lousiest horror from a minimal budget movies without real horror and without any anticipation at all. Every scene inside old factory building is badly placed, horribly shot and directed that it looks like some comedy that that turned bad but is still funny. Nice try to make an horror movie with some story behind but considering how ridiculous it looks and even something like this that was put to people to see is offending to horror genre because of it's bad and not scary or terrifying or horrible or at least fearfulness scenes. It looks like a home-made badly written movie and it was supposed to end even before it started. 1.5/4
