In HOSTEL: PART II, three young Americans studying in Rome set off for a weekend trip when they run into a beautiful model from one of their art classes. Also on her way to an exotic destination, the gorgeous European invites the coeds to come along, assuring them they will be able to relax and rejuvenate.

Will the girls find the oasis they are looking for? Or are they poised to become victims for hire, pawns in the fantasies of the sick and privileged from around the world who secretly travel here to savor more grisly pursuits?


Torture-porn’s premiere franchise is back, allowing repressed young men to fulfill their rape fantasies in a manner that for some reason we've decided to deem socially acceptable Let’s not pretend this franchise is anything else.

Eli Roth knows fucked up, and his timing couldn’t be better. Sadistic torture movies are at an all time high in popularity, with people flocking to theaters where audiences root not for victims to survive, but for them to be hurt, injured, and killed in the most brutal ways possible. This is pop culture’s hottest movement, and while I’m not sure what it says about us as a people, there’s no denying the genre’s success.

Hostel and its subsequent sequels are poised to be at the forefront of that success. When you think about hurting hot young co-eds, Lionsgate wants you to think Eli Roth. Next big Hollywood trend? I’m predicting fun with pedophilia.
