Movie Reviews of Hostel - The Director's Cut [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: Travel abroad.
Summary: 5 Stars

From its inception, American horror has always had its roots firmly planted in foreign soil. Silent German expressionistic chillers led the way for Universal Pictures' cinematic monsters of the 1930s, (Frankenstein, Dracula, the Werewolf of London, the Phantom of the Opera, the Hunchback, the gypsy werewolf that bites Larry Talbot, the Mummy) all of which were foreign born and reinforced the xenophobic and isolationist beliefs of Americans at the time. The 1940s ushered in a wave of true-life European nightmares as American moviegoers viewed grainy newsreel footage of nazi concentration camps. We collectively wondered, "How could a civilized society perpetrate such crimes against humanity?" In the holocaust documentary film SHOAH we get the answer when a Polish villager of Treblinka was asked about the atrocities committed in the camps, he crudely conveys the notion that the victims are not worthy of contemplation because they are not us. They are Jews. Strangers.

Eli Roth's HOSTEL successfully exploits this formula and creates a horrorscape of a post-Soviet satellite country that's more terrifying than any cardboard Transylvanian graveyard. Roth exposes the true nature of fear: to be a helpless stranger in a strange and dangerous land at the mercy of people who will only view you as "the other." This is the true power of this film, a force that will wreck havoc on your subconscious --- not a man tied to a chair.
