when i first saw the first hostel film i said that the scarey bit wasn't what you saw on the screen,but the fact that if you're rich enough you can do pretty much anything you please,its just finding out where.....well you can kill people for money
Hostel
'According to Hollywood, don’t go backpacking in Eastern Europe as you’re sure to find beautiful Euro babes seducing you and then taking you to a warehouse where rich evil types pay to torture gormless backpackers. But director Eli Roth claims that the story has a germ of truth to it.
While chatting to Aint It Cool News founder Harry Knowles about crazy stuff they had seen on the Internet, Knowles showed Roth a website for a venture in Thailand, which offered clients the chance to go into a room with a loaded gun and shoot an innocent man for the sum of a few thousand pounds. According to Roth, the site claimed that it was all perfectly legal as the victim agreed to it providing the company would financially support his poverty-stricken family.
Roth said, “The concept instantly made me nauseous. But it also felt real. People are sick. There are no limits to what they will do to another person for their own pleasure, and that’s the most horrifying thing of all. It’s what always stuck with me."
Deciding to abandon the initial idea of making a documentary after realising that his life could be in danger, Roth chose to use the base idea in ‘Hostel’'
