hostel

a low class hotel, usually have shared bathroom. usually for young travelers or students. Comes from Medieval Latin hospitale hospice

A cheap accommodation for students and other budget travelers. Usually consisting of dorm-style rooms, but you can get private rooms at some. They are more common in Europe, but there are some in North America.

A really sick and twisted movie about two college kids that go to Europe looking for a good time using legal drugs and having sex with loose women, but unfortunately they find themselves in a house of pure macabre and torture. They are tortured so badly that death would be sweet release.

THE SHITTEST MOVIE EVER, classsed as a "horror" film, it has nothing to do with horror, it's just people getting chopped up like animals. The first hour or so of the film is pure sex (amsterdam for ya), the next hour is spent in a torture house with people getting tortured by evil surgeons who have nothing better to do. The things that happen in the beginning of the film have absolutey NOTHING to do with what happens in the end, and you will be left confused with a headache. There is only one plus side to this movie - the guy who stars in it & stays alive is EXTREMELY hot. I was hooked on him-not the movie. Dont waste your money. Seriously!

verb: to torture or beat the crap out of someone. Most likely derived from the movie of the same name.

in a country town, at the only senior high school for abour 2 hours, the place where kids who live to far away for buses to reach stay. Typically considered skanks, dress in very short, tight clothing. They can be called lesbians as they share small, open spaces without adults for an entire year. Never respected, or appreciated. Slightly unintelligent and usually do not pull the guys.

Relating to the film: Hostel is a 2006 thriller film directed by Eli Roth and produced/presented by Quentin Tarantino.

The film follows three backpackers traveling Europe in search of good time (read: sex and drugs). They are told of a hostel in Slovakia where the women are extremely available, especially to Americans. They have an odd encounter with a Dutch Businessman on the train there, and arrive getting truly what they expected.

However, the Eastern-European community begins to show its dark side as a background of the place and a certain connection with a local business there begins to rear its ugly head.

The travelers are lured in by women and drugs and launched into an unimaginable nightmare as they become the victims of an underground Russian-Mafia-ran business called Elite Hunting, where jaded wealthy people can pay to torture and kill people who have been taken hostage, much like how prostitution works.

Due to the graphic nature of the film, it has been considered, over the years, "torture porn", or at least a major icon in that sub-genre. Many fans of the film counter this idea however.

By intentions of the director, Hostel is an extremely dark social satire, which comments on the issues of the price of life, the moral limits of commercial enterprise, the dark inevitable side of huamn nature, a culture that thrives on violence, the occuasional ignorance of American culture for seeing other nations as uncivilized and compares the profession of prostitution to a profession of torture (Elite Hunting).

The film is controversial for many reasons. It's extremely violent nature which has gotten it its label of "torture porn", the misrepresentation of Slovakians, the controversy over whether or not the story is inspired by true events (as it was billed). Many Slovakians in government and in their public were extremely offended by the film, seeing it as a ridiculous portrayal as a poverty-stricken and violent Mafia-ran country.

Many critics are divided on their thoughts on Hostel, but reaction its 2007 sequel Hostel: Part II were generally negative, as it was also a box office bomb.
