I know this will sound strange but I swear Hostel is like the horror version of eurotrip.

only similarity is they go to Czech Slovakia (or however you spell it).

Hostel got it's idea from when Eli Roth and one of the producers were talking about the most disturbing internet sites they have stumbled upon. One of the sites was based in Thailand and it would allow someone to shoot another person in the head for money.

They also copied the scene where the dude touches that other dude's leg

both movies were terrible.

Hostel would have been okay, but they just went too far.

Hostel had to go to the lengths it went to as the modern horror audience is now completely desensitised. It is, in my view, as close to the perfect slasher movie as you can get. The original question is this thread is stupid though. Do you really think Eurotrip was the first movie to have its charcters embark on a European vacation?

well im sure Hostel and Eurotip aren't the only movies with dude's touching each others legs.

Yer but the way it was done, like random guy coming into their train cabin, putting his hand on a young bloke's leg...that was a lot like Euro trip

well Eurotrip was more like the Funny Flamboint Gay guy

Hostel was more of the sexual deviance commonly associated with a twisted murderer.




2 totally different things

the fact that it was on a train in europe also means nothing

No, I would say it got most of the ideas from these films:

Children of the Corn
TCM
Ichi the Killer
Guinea Pig
Zombi
Lucio Fulci's The Beyond.

Please explain?

The zombie looking kids in the town. They're very reminciscent of the kids in Children of the Corn. It seems the kids have some kinda of cult going on.

They steal of random people so they can survive, doesn't really seem like a cult
