Does it?
Torture? Yes.
Aye, based on a true story. The location was changed though, it wasn't in Slovakia(?) which was where the film was set, I'm sure it was in Thailand it actually happened.
Torture is one thing, an underground ring for millionaires to torture and kill tourists is another.
I haven't actually seen it but that's the jist of it right?
Edit - Apparently it's not another thing.

Yeah that's basically the jist of it, rich people pay thugs to kidnap people so they can become part of a club and pay to act out their sick fantasies and kill them in various different ways in their own private dungeon room, blowtorches, saws, ankle grinders, etc.
Do you have a link or anything to the true story in Thailand Zarlak?
The rich really can do anything they want can't they? Lucky bastards.
I don't, I remember reading it a while back, it says 'Inspired by a true story' on it and not 'based on a true story' though so it could just be an idea that spiralled into something completely different and the film was the end result. I'm not even sure it was Thailand. Here is something I found real quick on Google though.
Eli Roth got the idea for the Hostel movies from a website that a friend showed him. The website advertised a "murder vacation" in Thailand, where for $10,000, you could shoot someone in the head.
He has no idea if the website was real, or just a hoax.
I mean't the whole pay money to get into a club where you can torture captured people.
Is this the film with the eye thing?
Who knows. Would it really surprise you?
Backpackers being murdered is nothing new. Ivan Milat kidnapped and murdered seven of them in Australia. They suspect he killed many more. Partly the inspiration for the movie Wolf Creek.
Blowtorch? Then yes.
I've only seen the first one, it is a brutal movie.
I can't remember any blowtorch, I just remember an eye hanging out, and then some scissors...
You can bazooka a cow for $50 in Vietnam.

The blowtorch was the reason for the eye hanging out

Fook that. There is a relatively new Simpsons episode where everyones eyes fall out. I almost threw up, and that's just a cartoon. I hate stuff near my eyes, the thought of even putting in contacts makes me feel ill.
Ah. I haven't seen the whole film, just parts of it.
You probably don't want to see this then.
Boring movie. Only good thing if the Icelandic dude who isn't even an actor. Just a mate of Roth's which is cast as an Icelander.
Like most horror film it was predictable. Why do they always have to have the typical happy ending with two people (always a girl and a guy) escaping at the end.
It would be brutal if it was real looking. Or sounded real looking. The fact is that you know it's fake and looks fake make the film not even gross at all. And isn't that the point of these movies?

Well, it transended into Part 2 of the film where the surviving bloke was killed at the start of it. Probably all part of the sequel
Watched Wolf Creek as well, apparently another 'based on true events' film where backpackers went missing in Aussie and was subjected to human kidnapping and then torture

I remember one of the bloke's name was Olly in the Hostel 1
Nah. They make one film, if it comes out + then they make a sequel no matter if the director or cast participate.
If they make a second film then of course the survivor has to die. Otherwise the place get's found out and there'd be no second one.
Was there a survivor there or just more of the exact same thing?

Ah, I imagine he was the awesomely cool and handsome one
Guess where Dwayne will be going on holiday this year.
Shite films.
You watched both?
There are varying degrees of accuracy to true events in Hollywood. Inspired by can be a work of complete and total fiction. Based on only needs one second of it to be true to the source story (and the clue to the whole thing is story which means it can be a total myth) so they can say whatever they want. It's when they say 'true events' that the whole game changes, but even then they cart blanche to completly change it.
'The Strangers' was also "inspired by true events." If you haven't seen it, a couple are terrorised in a remote holiday home by a group of masked killers.
In that case, the director saw someone calling at the wrong house one night.
Seriously.

The Strangers is so boring, nothing happens in it
