the ONE and ONLY hostel thread

Did anyone see this trailer with Saw II?

From what I can tell from the trailer it looks like theres a place were people can go to torure, beat, or kill other people. They play it as a fantasy for sick people. It looks good.

Any thoughts?

I want to see it i'm a big Tarantino fan, and Eli Roth amazed me in cabin fever. Heres the website for the movie http://www.hostelfilm.com/

This is a movie I can't wait for and I hope the buzz inceases because I want it to really succeed.

Read a lot about this film, saw the trailer, looks great. I can't wait for it to come out. Hopefully LGF can come up with a release date already seeing as they keep moving it.

Actually it has nothing to do with Saw. The only thing that can be said MIGHT be simillar is the fact that people are getting tortured. Other then that, the stories have nothing to do with each other. Hostel is about a couple of guys looking for a good time before the go off to school. They hear about a hostel where women will do anything they want but they end up at this place where people are getting tortured. There is more to it, but that's the basic idea.

hostile is suposed to be based on actual events, if you think about that its pretty fucked up.

After the trailer I thought that it had a Saw like feeling to it.

Well no shit. I know it doesn't have any relation to Saw, but it looks like an almost identical theme.

The trailer had the dark, chromatic color tones just like Saw, and it probably will have the unapologetic stance on gore (even though there wasn't enough in the Saw films).
