I remember buying this movie in 2005 on my Navy base. The lady at the checkout noticed and casually but seriously said: "This movie changed me." One of those memories...
hostel is one of my favorite horror movies. the last 30 minutes of the movie are intense. sucks that they killed paxton off right away in the second movie.
This movie always creeped me out more because I was stationed in germany before this came out and it was "stories" of guys getting on trains and going east...it was news articles and missing person reports Edit....so yeah this was like a thing....probably
I had to have my friend talk me into watching this film. I'm glad she did. We both sat down on a saturday night and watched it together. I was glued to the tv and that achilles tendon scene still haunts me. I thought the movie was great. Something new and not done in horror at the time. I loved Saw way more since it came out prior, but Hostel holds a special place in my heart. I can absolutely see rich people paying to do this to others. There are absolutely way better movies than hostel, but this was a gem at the time it was released. The gore was great. The torture was insane. I loved the setting. I can see why some of those country folks got pissed at the movie, but the americans were dumb as hell and behaved just as I pictured them.
Even though the movie itself was quite good, the residents of the Czech town where it was filmed were not so enamoured with it. A tour guide I spoke with said the entire town despises the series, especially the second one which cemented the town's desire to never allow filming horror movies there again.
You act like it is only the elite when it happens in all layers of civilisation. Especially during war, famine, homeless, or just male teenagers raping a girl on a prom night.
I have a bad feeling like some things like this might exist. There are some evil people out there. I would be mighty surprised if there wasn't some outlandish dark evil shit going on somewhere in the world. I liked all three of the movies. But damn they are sick at times 😂
I mean Roth based the movie on an article he read, so apparently it is a real thing. But honestly, the things that go on in the deep web are worst than Hostel
Loved the first Hostel, it's still in my top 5 horror movies of all time. It had a great story/premise from beginning to end with good twists throughout, good acting, hot naked girls (gotta add that in) and of course a lot of well done realistic gore. Part 2 and 3 unfortunately weren't too good and were very forgettable. But The original will always be one of the best horrors out there for me.
This is one of my favorite horror franchises. People often write this off as “torture porn,” but I don’t think it should be. To me, what drew me into this series was the unknown, foreign country aspect, especially a country that doesn’t get a lot of exposure (not that it was accurate but that’s another discussion). The European atmosphere and it really being a story about a scam is what made it fascinating to me. Unfortunate that many will not give this series a chance due to it being labeled as “torture porn,” or a Saw copycat but it is very much its own identity.
Hostil reminds me of that movie called Turistas. The beginning was all fun and games until it wasn't. The sheer horror. But still a good watch, if you're into gory.
Alot of times the best part of making a film is after it's thrown out there people make assumptions, deeper meanings, etc. for the film that was not originally intended. I am a Hostel fan but I can see why people don't like it. I think it came out at a perfect time for it's success and will live in Horror movie history all time. Roth had a general idea of rich people paying lots of money to do awful things. Of course people and countries would be upset for 'portraying' their country and culture in a bad light...its a movie, who cares, get over it, stop crying. And yes this stuff really goes on. Horrible things go on every day everywhere.
70s were not about Slashers. Halloween didn't come out until 1978. Before that you had a lot of demonic-related movies like Exorcist, Rosemary's Baby, and Omen.
Thank you. I was gonna say the same thing. The 70s did have gialli galore, which are similar. But the true American slasher boom didn't really happen til the 80s
I'm always reminded of this classic whenever I hear the word.... Catch the tide at the blood My TV screen is sick and blood My walls and floors are it too The night is comin' after you Cram the innocent with screams of pain It coming for you again and again There's no escape There's no way out Catch, catch a horror taxi I fell in love with my video nasty Catch, catch a horror train A freeze frame goin' to drive you insane The axe is sharp And the blade is keen Creatures spillin' from the screen Shadows fall and all is gloom You're not so safe In the safety of your room All I want is to make a killing To thrill and kill might be really thrilling Why are my victims so unwilling You can be sure that you won't see me With that action meany Catch, catch a horror taxi I fell in love with my video nasty Catch, catch a horror train A freeze frame goin' to drive you insane
Finally a good take from this member of the team 🎉 also, you guys probably should have censored some of the gore effects like you usually do because I can see this video getting taken down or demonetized. Not hating, but just how RUclips usually is. Glad Roth is back doing what he loves and gave us Thanksgiving!!
This sort of thing would never have happened in any of the Soviet era countries of the USSR or the Eastern Bloc. It may take place in the neoliberal, robber-baron hell-scapes that came afterwards though.
This movie reminded me of Halloween (1978). In Halloween, it's three teenage girls doing teenage girl stuff. Their dialogue and situations feel like everyday occurrences. In Hostel, you get three guys who are just being guys on vacation. And then horror ensues. What makes the horror have an impact is how normal these characters seem. Put them in these nightmare situations and we feel horrified for them. Hostel may have elements of torture porn, but its strength lies in its realism. The scene where Paxton looks Josh right in the eyes is very disturbing.
That montage of torture porn movies at the beginning didn't all seem to fit. Hard candy for instance has 0 blood & gore, and is more of a psychological thriller than even a horror movie.
The movie it's torture porn, because one men is tortured for all movie. Not show gore, but it's a psychologic torture. Other movie very same it's Funny games
@@thelordofCinema2779 it is movie that has torture in it. I agree, but torture porn as a category specified gore and physical, not psychological torture and victims. Even in the video here they talk about gore being a defining feature of what makes a torture porn film.
What this is one of Eli Ross one of my favorite series of movies next to cabin fever Paxton didn’t get all of the I’m sorry to say I don’t know if they’re like a New World order or type rich people he didn’t get all the villains but the chicken and the second one did so at least those young people that did survive or tried and die truck. At least the people that responsible got stopped but now I love the channel and love the series Just watched the Bruce Willis 2018 Deathwish remake that Eli Roth did yesterday for my birthday with some homey’s. We all like the flicks so yeah happy happy Wednesday everyone!🤘🤘
I found this movie quite shocking at the time and thought it was silly when I watched it again recently. The original Martyrs is far better in almost every regard. It's absolutely harrowing, but engaging too. You'll remember it for a lot longer after viewing.
It doesn't matter if Eli Roth is behind BORDERLANDS AVI ARAD ruined everything again, the same way he ruined TASM2, MORBIUS and UNCHARTED Things went so bad that Craig Mazin (from CHERNOBYL and THE LAST OF US) asked for his name to be removed from the credits
Did he ruin Blade 1 and 2? Spider-Man 1 and 2? The MCU Spider-Man films? The Spiderverse films? X-Men 1 and 2? I haven't even gone into the animated projects he has produced. I definitely agree with you that he has messed up some things that should have been layups but he definitely has a lot of hits that you are ignoring to make your point sound better. But definitely keep him away from third installments because with the exception of SMNWH he has absolutely delivered some duds🤔
@comicfiend1988 Just keep in mind 2 things: * He doesn't ruin a movie when he's in the executive producer capacity, where he has less power * The good movies were good because of someone else that produced it. So look in the credits and see if he's credited as executive producer, and if he's the main producer, then look at the other names If you see names like Laura Ziskin, Kevin Feige, or Phil Lord and Chris Miller, then it means the movies worked because of them, not Arad
@@Zombiesnyder13 and those are the names that are on the stinkers too so I don't think you are proving the point that you think you are. And he is in fact listed as Producer PGA on films like Spider-Man 2 and the Spiderverse films and there was quite a few others (according to IMDb) All I will say and I will move on is that I don't necessarily think it's fair to say it will suck just because of him because he has actually worked on quality projects in the past. But I'm hoping it's a good movie and we both end up liking it 🤙🏿
@@comicfiend1988 Things went so bad that Craig Mazin (from Chernobyl and The Last of Us) asked for his name to be removed from the writing credits Venom 3 has the writer from "50 Shades of Grey" as director, while Kraven The Hunter has the writers from "Transformers: The Last Knight"
Hostel is a great movie. What makes it look bad is the Christians conrtol the rating and spread bad comments about horror movie that they don't feel is appropriate for the rest of the Great Nation.
Speaking of torture p0rn.. I once saw a Japanese horror movie called Grotesque.. It was actually worse than Audition and Ichi the Killer.. And I can handle pretty much any amount of gore 😵😵😵
Being in A'dam and going on a 2 day train ride for the promise of beautiful girls is like being in Newcastle and getting talked into a trip to another country to get some coal.
Hostel is a much smarter film than people give it credit for. It's first act lulls that American viewer into a fun road trip movie energy, then pulls the rug out from under them. The pacing and cinematography in the 2nd and 3rd acts are more Hitchock than Exploitation. The film is about ignorant Americans who live a life of excess at the expense of third world labor having to confront the direct horrors of their consumption. I have always felt this film is much better and less "shocking" than it 's reputation.
Great looking first film in the classic sense, then by the sequel unfortunately the industry had changed completely as far as post production goes thus committing the cardinal sin and immature mistake of having it visually look like every other dumb (horror) movie out there now i.e. a Saw clone with indistinguishable uniformed aesthetics, losing all stylistic links to the original. The sequel's okay plot-wise but the cinematic feel of connection is lost.
it's one thing to make a shocking movie to make a point, in my experience, Roth doesn't fully grasp the material he chooses to explore and ends up making very shallow movies that only exist to shock people for the sake of shock which i find very lazy. hostel is guilty of this as well as green inferno and knock knock. i can't stand him
I know ppl really like them, but I cannot stand the scream franchise. I hate hate, hate, hate that dumb hokey, lame franchise. I’ll take Eli Roth any day over that crap.
Honestly, while the gore scenes made me cringe , the overall "story" bored me to tears... Until you get to Act 3, and the main character makes a mad dash to get out of the country, while evading this torture-mafia. The chase becomes mesmerizing to watch, especially when you know what kind of things will be done to him if they catch him. Third act is worth the watch, even if the rest isn't.
I love how the movies switches from fun sexy dream vacation to absolute hell.
And from various narrators such as Scrooged McDuck To Canadian -American Accents
Totally agree. The first was the best. Great horror torture porn that even saw can't touch.
Do you?
@@alkohallick2901?
I always go back and watch this movie from time to time. Wouldn’t be surprised if something like this really happens.
I guarantee it does. Just look at the black market for organs it's totally similar to this as well
Snuff films are a very real thing and have been for a long time
Something like this definitely happens irl
It does actually happen on the dark/deep web.
I know guys. I figured as much.
I remember buying this movie in 2005 on my Navy base. The lady at the checkout noticed and casually but seriously said: "This movie changed me." One of those memories...

Edit....so yeah this was like a thing....probably
Oddly enough, this is one of my comfort movies that I put on whenever I'm going to sleep - same with "Hostel 2" :).
I had to have my friend talk me into watching this film. I'm glad she did. We both sat down on a saturday night and watched it together.

It's better than saw. The first hostel was good but sequels not that great.
Such a disturbing film…but it’s mesmerizing to watch. Definitely stays with you afterward for better or worse.
This and part 2 are actually pretty well done. Haven’t seen part 3 since Roth didn’t do that one
Part 3 is garbage. Don't even bother.
Even though the movie itself was quite good, the residents of the Czech town where it was filmed were not so enamoured with it. A tour guide I spoke with said the entire town despises the series, especially the second one which cemented the town's desire to never allow filming horror movies there again.
I love this movie. Jay Hernandez did an excellent job, and I still have my part 1 and 2 on dvd
*I'll tell you what happened... the elite got touchy because this movie exposed a part of their secret lives... and then... it "disappeared"!*
You act like it is only the elite when it happens in all layers of civilisation. Especially during war, famine, homeless, or just male teenagers raping a girl on a prom night.
I have a bad feeling like some things like this might exist.

I was a senior in high school when this came out and it was a big deal, everyone was taking about it. When I finally saw it I knew why
It’s wild that people can come up with ideas like this for a movie and have people be like “ yeah here’s some money to fund it “
I sure appreciate you folks getting me through my work days ❤️
Any time
Cheers Adam 🍻

Crazy i watched that movie yesterday and was shook
Yea, it's one of those movies you can only watch once
"I GO HOME." 😶
I didn't particularly care for this movie. Good gore and all, but with very shallow and unlikeable characters I didn't care what happened to them.
I really enjoyed Hostel, not everyones cup of tea, but for me it was something different that i hadnt seen before, really enjoyed it and still do.
Way better than cabin fever… seemed like a young dude trying to push the envelope… I enjoyed it, it makes you feel things, alotta movies don’t.
Reason hostel did so well is because it’s 100% believable and Id be shocked if it didn’t really exist.
This came out on DVD my freshman year in college so it was a staple throughout the dorms
When I first watched this movie it fucked me up. But it did open my eyes to what really goes on there and to places you know nothing about.

The night is comin' after you
Cram the innocent with screams of pain
It coming for you again and again
There's no escape
There's no way out
Catch, catch a horror taxi
I fell in love with my video nasty
Catch, catch a horror train
A freeze frame goin' to drive you insane
The axe is sharp
And the blade is keen
Creatures spillin' from the screen
Shadows fall and all is gloom
You're not so safe
In the safety of your room
All I want is to make a killing
To thrill and kill might be really thrilling
Why are my victims so unwilling
You can be sure that you won't see me
With that action meany
Catch, catch a horror taxi
I fell in love with my video nasty
Catch, catch a horror train
A freeze frame goin' to drive you insane

Its s definitely a classic and pioneer for the genre. But as a film it was really suspenseful. It did more than just shock.

Kids , Ken park , wassup rockers , green inferno & human centipedes!!!
I personally like the first and second ones
The third one was kind of lame
Saw the Achilles heel scene in pet semetery for the first time. Was much better in hostel.
A certain Eastern European country did not care for this movie also we do get to see a woman kiss a train.
It's just down and dirty good fun. Don't need to make it out more than that.

Watch 1 and 2 on the same night
loved this film

Great looking first film in the classic sense, then by the sequel unfortunately the industry had changed completely as far as post production goes thus committing the cardinal sin and immature mistake of having it visually look like every other dumb (horror) movie out there now i.e. a Saw clone with indistinguishable uniformed aesthetics, losing all stylistic links to the original.

I saw this when I was young and even tho I know it’s not true I still have the fear of visiting eastern Europe 😂
I made my wife watch this
It’s Slovakia, not Slovenia.
The original is classic. 2 sucked. Killing off jay hernandez character in thr opening scene was wack. I also find 3 underrated
Human trafficking
Friendly advice for anyone visiting Eastern Europe: as soon as you get of the plane and leave the airport, hold on to your wallet. Tightly. 💸
Anything from Roth stinks, in my book 😆

it's one thing to make a shocking movie to make a point, in my experience, Roth doesn't fully grasp the material he chooses to explore and ends up making very shallow movies that only exist to shock people for the sake of shock which i find very lazy. hostel is guilty of this as well as green inferno and knock knock. i can't stand him
It was alright, wasnt as cool as I thought it would be. Felt mostly lazy to be honest.
I really like this film the sequels not so much
But yet there was No Sex Assaulting going on much at all oddly so,
I was mad that I had wasted money to see this movie in the theater. It was just a loser edgelirds fantasy.
Wtf happened was, I was the only one laughing in the theater during those intense scenes
You must be a psycho with no empathy whatsoever,
Hostel is good
Hostel 2 is better
Hostel 3 sucks ass
I know ppl really like them, but I cannot stand the scream franchise. I hate hate, hate, hate that dumb hokey, lame franchise. I’ll take Eli Roth any day over that crap.
