Hostel is a 2005 horror movie directed by Eli Roth. It is known for its intense and graphic content, and it is part of the horror genre that gained popularity in the early 2000s. The movie follows a group of backpackers who travel to Slovakia, Europe and find themselves kidnapped and subjected to sadistic torture in a secretive hostel. The movie is often associated with the "torture porn" subgenre due to its graphic violence and horror elements.
