The man pulls off Josh’s hood and Josh begins to plead. The heavy wooden door opens hooded and an older man with a heavy accent (Jan Vlasak), enters, dressed in a surgical face mask, a rust colored jumpsuit covered with a thick black rubber apron. The scene changes to a hooded Josh, peeking through a single hole and chained to a chair. Paxton, using the photograph as a guide, tries to hunt for and narrow down where their friend might have gone. When Kana (Jennifer Lim), an oriental tourist, receives a cell picture of Oli and her friend standing before a tall smokestack, she shows the frantic friends.

Unbelieving, they attempt to contact him by cell to no avail. While in Amsterdam, they visit the smoke shops, the red light district and a rave, where they meet Natalya and Svetlana (Barbara Nedeljakova and Jana Kaderabkova), two seemingly hot to trot young women.Īfter spending the night together, Oli ends up missing and the two are perplexed when told that he had checked out and went home.

Paxton (Jay Hernandez) and Josh (Derek Richardson) are two Americans backpacking across Europe basically having the time of their lives with a befriended Icelander named Oli (Eythor Gudjonsson), who fancies himself the King of Swing. And, considering that the film is presented by Quentin Tarantino, and written and directed by Eli Roth, does it really surprise? Touting welcome to your worst nightmare, and rightfully so, Hostel is certainly one of the most gruesome films ever created. Three backpackers head to a Slovak city that promises to meet their hedonistic expectations, with no idea of the hell that awaits them.
