Two adventurous American college buddies, Paxton and Josh, backpack through Europe eager to make quintessentially hazy travel memories with new friend Oli, an Icelander they've met along the way. Paxton and Josh are eventually lured by a fellow traveler to what's described as a nirvana for American backpackers--a particular hostel in an out-of-the-way Slovakian town stocked with Eastern European women as desperate as they are gorgeous. The two friends arrive and soon easily pair off with exotic beauties Natalya and Svetlana. In fact, too easily. Initially distracted by the good time they're having, the two Americans quickly find themselves trapped in an increasingly sinister situation that they will discover is as wide and as deep as the darkest, sickest recess of human nature itself--if they survive.

basically two hours of people getting tortured. shit looks scary as f**k. haha. whos going to watch this? i hope it actually has a storyline and is a "psychological thriller" instead of trying to be as gory as possible. i heard its been banned from certain cities and movie theatres because of the gore. the same person that made "Cabin Fever" made this, and Cabin Fever was terrible. who is going to watch it?

Okay, I should have stated it differently. I wasn't sure if I understood the plot throughout the movie, but afterwards, I just thought it was plain dumb. It's just my opinion, I didn't like the movie.

And I'm just saying that they could have cut out at least some of the sex. It was seriously like half of the movie.

Yes, they could have cut it out but it would have left out several important parts and it would also have had less of an effect/emphasis. It's honestly not even that much sex if you think about it. What could they have cut out? Hmm, perhaps the part where they meet the guy and there is a couple in his room having sex. That's about it. The part where they go and pay for the prostitutes in important in showing 1) they want sex that badly and 2) it develops Josh's character thus making it make more sense later on in the movie when he decides to go back to the hostel instead of staying at the bar. Hmm, another part where sex is shown...when they are at the hostel having sex with the girls. This is again important because 1) it shows how 'stupid' they were and careless because they just let Oli leave and 2) it shows how these girls decieved/lured them.

We talk about how much sex there is but what about how much drinking and smoking is going on? Should they have taken that out too? No. Because it is important to the plot and it needs to be there for emphasis.

So many movies have sex in them. Have you all seen Love Actually? It's supposed to be some romantic movie but one of the couples is a porno couple. Yes, they could have gotten rid of that couple, there would have been less sex, but the plot and emphasis would have been different.
