Hostel


Three young men are touring around Europe, looking for easy women. When they learn that there are plenty at a particular hostel, they head there, and soon are getting what they want with two nubile young women. However, one of the guys turns up missing, and when the other two investigate, they discover that they have been lured into a trap. The hostel provides its wealthy clients with the opportunity to torture and kill unsuspecting victims. Now the young men have to find a way to escape before it's their turn to be the entertainment. Expect a lot of blood and gore, and take a barf bag with.
