Eli Roth's HOSTEL
What starts out as a very intriguing, titalating and suspenseful tale of idiot youths getting in way over their heads in a foreign land soon degenerates into bloodbath of almost unprecedented gore and mutilation. You truly want to root for the protagonist ( ably played by Jay Hernandez ) who seems to have a pretty level head even when he realizes he is the last of his friends to have been lured into a kill-for-profit deathtrap in a remote Slovakian village during a Euro backpacking trip. Not without it's suspenseful scenes, but ROth manages to underminge every ounce of credibility he establishes with unbelievable amounts of exploitation. To say it's not for the faint of heart would be a GROSS understatement!! Must've done wonders for tourism abroad for teens seeking adventure!!
