Hostel

Movie / Show Details

Eli Roth directed this 2005 horror thriller about three backpackers who travel through Slovakia in search of adventure and excess, only to find themselves trapped in something far more sinister. Starring Barbara Nedeljakova, Derek Richardson, Eythor Gudjonsson, and Jay Hernandez, the film follows young travelers as they discover that their vacation has become a nightmare with deadly consequences. Rated R for graphic violence and gore.

This single-disc DVD release from Lionsgate runs 94 minutes and includes an extended cut with 30 seconds of additional footage in one sequence. The disc features multiple commentaries and “Hostel Dissected,” a three-part making-of featurette that explores the film’s production, including behind-the-scenes stories and interviews with cast and crew.
