Hostel is a film directed by Eli Roth that delineates the spine-chilling tale of three backpackers who travel to Europe with the urge for an adventure. The journey takes them on an unplanned journey to a remote, off-map Slovakian hostel, where they unknowingly get entangled with a vicious underground organization torturing and killing unsuspecting tourists for cold, hard cash.

Shot in a graphic manner that tells all the violence and torture, the movie arguably assumes the form of horror manifestation cinematographically, violating the girth of gore the viewer would stand for.

The film questions the exploitation of tourists and the darker side of human nature. The film is as frightening as it is thought-provoking—it is a horror film.
