Plot: 3 backpackers are in Amsterdam where they get locked out of their youth hostel. They are invited into a man's house where he tells them of a hostel somewhere in eastern Europe where the women are all incredibly hot and have a taste for American men. When they get there, everything is too good to be true - the hostel is "to die for".
I decided to analise this film as i thought it was a good horror/ thriller film that offered plenty of blood , gore and suspense. The film is rated as an 18 however from the responses the film recieved from the public , some feel that it should be higher. The film's release was accompanied by strong complaints from Slovakia where the film was set and based in. Slovak officials were disgusted by the film's portrayal of their country as an undeveloped, poor and uncultured land suffering from high criminality, war and prostitution, fearing that it would damage the good reputation of Slovakia, making foreingers feel that its was a dangerous place to be.
One of the key features i saw watching this film was the actual realism and the believabilty of it.
