A New View On Torture

Eli Roth showed us, in great detail, what it might be like to torture another human being in "Hostel".
As an audience we were subjected to the very dark world of human trafficking and then subjected to the even darker world of Eli Roth's thoughts. I really have no urge to find out what a drill bit in the thigh feels like and it seems that every other idea of torture was brought to fruition in this film as well.

Hostel is a film about three backpackers in Amsterdam that are convinced to travel further into Eastern Europe to a hostel full of beautiful women that are very fond of American men. It's there that they meet two young women who show them around. Unknowingly the three are sold to a group of people that specialize in providing customers the opportunity to torture and kill a helpless victim. Here's where a movie that started out heavy with sexploitation ends heavy with human torture. After seeing this film I never want to stay in a hostel and I'm sure a lot of people have the same feeling. Check it out for yourself.
