New movie features Mongering in Amsterdam

Here is a new Movie called "Hostel" due to hit Europe in March about some young American men traveling Europe and Amsterdam Partying, and they hear about this Hostel in Bratislava where you can get laid all the time...

Supposedly it's very Tarantino-ish ...

The Following is from http://www.themoviespoiler.com

As the opening credits come on, we are treated to the faint sounds of a man
whistling briskly as he cleans what appears to be a dirty shower stall or
something possibly of the sort. We can't see, it's rather dark. At one
point, the audience sees a pair of really bloody, filthy shearers or lawn
clippers. It's nasty, whatever it is. We hear a door slam shut and the movie
begins.

We begin by seeing a trio of young men, Paxon, Josh, and Uli (their
Icelandic cohort who they picked up in France) leaving their European youth
hostel. It's present day. They reveal right away that they're in Amsterdam,
and indeed they are. What's the first thing you have to do in Amsterdam?
Well, go to a coffee shop, of course! And that's exactly where they go- but
as it turns out, the place is just filled with other Americans also taking
bong hits and laughing hysterically. Josh thinks it's sad that he's come all
the way to Europe just to smoke pot, when that's all they did back in
college. The men depart for a disco/techno club.

It becomes readily evident that all the men have done in Europe is tried
unsuccessfully to pick up women. Their quest continues here, as they start
hitting on some smoking' hot Dutch girls. Everything is going well till Josh
whips some cash out of his fanny pack, putting the nail in his coffin.
Undeterred, Josh gives his fanny pack to a perturbed Paxon, and proceeds to
approach another smiling girl. Unfortunately, he spills a drink onto another
girl, and her boyfriend picks a fight. Needless to say, the two are thrown
out the club... Somehow, Uli is with them again (we saw Uli not five minutes
ago banging a girl and taking pictures of the act with his cell phone). But
whatever.

The three guys, Paxon, Josh, and Uli, tour Amsterdam's infamous "Red Light
District" maybe looking to buy some action. Josh, with whom we've been
sympathizing for quite some time, says he'd rather not. We are then inside
the brothel as there are multiple silhouettes of people in lewd acts
streaming in through various doorways. One of these appears to be a guy
getting beaten up, but it's only some guy getting a bondage treatment. Josh
gets out the room, but there in the hall are his two buds, obviously
finished with whatever they were up to. They go into the bondage room, while
Josh ventures to whence his friends came. In the room at the end of the
hall, there's a beautiful prostitute washing her hands. We see her take off
her bra (this movie teeters on soft-core porn pretty regularly), but as she
turns around, Josh is gone.

The three are once again reunited. They stumble back to their hostel, but,
alas, it's after curfew and they're locked out. They yell, but some
disgruntled neighbors drive them away to a nearby flat, owned by a friend of
Uli's. Uli is a drifter, you understand. As the guys enter the apartment, we
are greeted with the sight of two people having sex on the couch, while no
one else seems to care. They meet the owner of the house, Alex, who has a
weird black mark on his lip and just looks generally eccentric and rather
odd. They explain to Alex the situation, and their intention to hit
Barcelona, where the girls are supposedly stunning. Alex sees right through
the American's story, as it is obvious that neither of them has gotten laid
but once on this trip. He tells them of this mythical hostel, whose
whereabouts are known only by word of mouth and those in the know, where one
can get the best pussy of all time. Incredulous, the guys pass, but then
Alex busts out the digital camera. HOLY CRAP. Basically just pictures of
three to four naked chicks lying on top of each other, with Alex
periodically sandwiched in with them. The guys are sold right there.

So, they're on the train headed for the hostel, which is said to be "East of
Bratislava", for what it's worth. Obviously an eastern-European town that
was once a prototypical Soviet village. On the train, they run into a dutch
businessman with a briefcase and upscale dress. The man is actually very
eerie as he eats his salad with his fingers, telling the boys that it is his
way of communing with nature, that people have lost touch. At this point,
the man makes a move on Josh, to which Josh completely flips, predictably.
The guy gets up and leaves.

The train pulls in, the guys get off, and the town is gorgeous. They go
straight to the Hostel, and get a room. Another comedic moment: as they walk
in, these five guys are watching the execution scene from /Pulp Fiction/,
making just about everyone in the theater laugh. Needless to say, the woman
behind the counter is stunning, and the camera's eye mimics that of the men,
checking her out completely as she turns to get their key. Paxon wants
private rooms, but apparently they'll have to share the room, as it's
semi-private. When they go in their room, however, the story is completely
different as we see two women, Svetlana and Natalya, both of whom could pass
for models changing in full view of the guys. They seem to enjoy the guys'
presence, and invite them to the spa. The spa? In a youth hostel? The next
shot is a wide pan of the spa, and we are treated to the sight of a dozen or
so naked, utterly incredible women bathing in the hot steam. In an adjacent
sauna, we see the two beauties from before, topless thank God. The guys go
in and make small talk, and are invited to another club that evening, and
decide to go.

The next shot is of inside the club, which is probably the cheapest, worst
set I've ever seen in a movie, but it's filmed such that it looks almost
realistic. The guys are dancing, doing X and what not, and old Uli is up
there partying it up with the chick from the front desk. Paxon has Svetlana
while Josh gets Natalya, who I think is way hotter. They're both incredible,
though. Josh's asthma picks up, though, when Natalya blows cigarette smoke
in his face, and he has to step outside for a few inhaler puffs. Once their,
in the semi-darkness, a bunch of street urchin kids come up and demand
money. He doesn't know what to do and it's kinda tense, until the same Dutch
guy with the nice glasses (the one with the salad) suddenly appears and
throws coins at the kids. Josh thanks him and asks to buy him a drink, to
which the Dutchman agrees. They go inside and resolve their differences, and
supposedly this guy has a daughter. The two talk briefly before Josh rejoins
his friends. Eventually, the scene changes to their hotel room, which aside
from the fact that it's two guys having sex in relatively close proximity,
is really, really well done. Tarantino obviously gave Eli Roth a few
pointers on how to do this, cause the scene looks great.

The next morning, the guys wake up to find Uli gone. Both are pretty
distraught when they see he's not at breakfast, and look around for him. As
they walk along, Paxon describes an incident that happened to him when he
was 8, when he saw a girl drowning but didn't do enough to save her. He says
the screams of the dying girl's mother haunted him for months. As Paxon
finishes up his story, the two see a guy wearing Uli's orange coat. Uli!
They chase him around until the guy escapes into a museum. As the guys
follow him in, it becomes apparent that it is one of the myriad torture
museums in Europe. What might have originally been kinda tense and creepy
lasts a good ten seconds. They basically just collar the guy at the exit
without so much as a jump-scare. The guy isn't Uli but is very menacing and
has a bad set of teeth. He tells them it's his jacket, and to go fornicate
with themselves.

Paxon finally comes to the realization that maybe Uli just left, that things
might happen here in Europe. As he's saying that, a Japanese schoolgirl who
we saw previously in passing runs up to the two, visibly distraught. As it
so happens, her friend is also missing, and shows them a picture on her
camera phone (she's Japanese, she has a camera phone). It's of her friend
and Uli, with grim expressions, standing in front of a big smokestack. The
word "sayanara" (goodbye) is written beneath in Japanese.

As the guys walk away, they get another picture message on the cell phone.
It's one of just Uli, with the words "I go home" across the bottom. Uli's
expression is odd, but kinda looks like the spirit in /Ghost/ who teaches
Patrick Swayze how to touch objects. The camera kinda goes through the phone
to Uli's head, which is disembodied and sitting on a table. The whistling
guy is shown from the chest down in a butcher's outfit with surgical glove,
a costume we'll see quite often. He flips shut his cell phone and walks down
the hallway with the lawn clippers in hand, towards a girl in obvious
anguish. With a little deduction we can determine that it's the Japanese
girl's friend. This is the part from the trailer, with the toe getting cut
off, though we don't actually see the cutting off part (instead, we see
Svetlana clipping her nail, nice segue).

The two guys are pretty freaked out from the picture, but see the girls.
They invite them to go back to the club, and they agree.

Back at the disco, we the audience are shown two things: Josh is obviously
really affected by Uli's disappearance; and there are some disquieting goons
lurking around in trenchcoats. While Paxon is having fun dancing, Josh just
basically gets sloshed and goes back to his hotel room. When he gets there,
the hot front desk girl who Uli was getting with earlier helps him to his
room, and lies him down on the same bed from which Uli disappeared. As he
passes out, we see a pair of male shoes emerge in the doorway. Menacing.


Back to the club, Paxon is sitting with the two girls, pissed that they're
gossiping about him in an eastern bloc language he doesn't understand (he
does speak German, though). He goes to the bathroom, but when he gets there
it's just a storage room that locks behind him. He eventually passes out
after pounding on the door to no avail.

As he passes out, we suddenly see what appears to be the interior of a
prison cell or shower or something. We can only see the surroundings through
a tiny eye hole in the top-left of the screen, but see plenty. The room is
rectangular, with a door at the far side and low shelves on the adjacent
walls. On these shelves are surgical implements, garden tools, and nasty
stuff of various size. On the other side of the room are hatches, hammers,
machetes, chainsaws and pistols. Lovely. We see a man come in, wearing the
same costume as the guy before. This is all very claustrophobic, since it's
behind the little peephole. The bag is removed from Josh's head, and he
starts screaming at the guy. He didn't do anything, please don't hurt me,
that sort of thing. The guy isn't phased, but rather peruses all the
worrisome implements laid out neatly on the tables. He picks up a large
drill, with a long skinny bit, and revs it slightly to Josh's horror. He
comes over to Josh and pushes it into his flesh as Josh screams. Eventually,
he backs off and we see there are six holes with blood pouring out, four on
his chest forming a large square, and two right above his knees. By the way,
Josh is in handcuffs and shackled to the chair upon which he sits.

The torturer grabs a scalpel, which I think is one of the grossest things in
existence, and takes off his surgeon's mask. As he's doing this, Josh pukes
in the background. The surgeon's the guy from before, who Josh shared a
drink with. He grabs a scalpel and goes on a long-winded monologue about
life and connecting with nature, how he wanted to be a surgeon but was
denied, and instead got rich in business. The guy's obviously psychopathic
and drunk with power and ego, but it doesn't matter since he's the one with
the knife. After his speech, he gets up and we hear some pretty disgusting
noises of flesh getting sliced. He unshackles Josh, opens the door, and
tells him he's free to go. Though in real life he'd probably be passed out
from sleep deprivation, blood loss, hangover, massive induced trauma and
pain, he gets up gratefully. When he does this, the camera cuts to his
heels, where both of his Achilles tendons have been slashed wide open and he
tumbles to the ground. The Dutch guy comes back in, grabs his feet and puts
him back in the chair, where he slices Josh's throat open with the scalpel.

The entire scope of the film now flips to Paxon, who stumbles out of the
club and returns to the Hostel. He asks the guy behind the counter for his
room key, but he's supposedly checked out. His bag is with the clerk and
there's no sign of Josh. He's creeped out, but goes to the room where he
sees to girls exactly as before. Except, it's not Svetlana and Natalya, just
two girls who look similar and act identically. They even ask him to join
the spa. He's freaked out now, and gives the clerk an earful. Also, we
notice that the Japanese girl is gone.

Paxon goes to the police station, where the cop has a distinct face with
baggy eyes. He tells Paxon there's really nothing he can do but wait back at
the Hostel.

Nevertheless, Paxon wanders the town, where he sees a familiar orange
smokestack. He compares the smokestack with the one in the picture, and they
match. As he dials a number to try Josh's cell again, those damn street
urchins grab it away from him and take off. Paxon runs one of them down and
starts choking him, but lets go. He trudges on under a bridge, and sees
Natalya walk into a bar. He follows her in up the stairs, where it's her and
Svetlana talking with one of those goons from before. Paxon's pissed, and
wants to know where Josh is. The girls explain to him, through bad English
and worse acting, that he went to an art exhibit. He demands to see it, and
Natalya agrees and goes with him. Svetlana, interestingly, tries for a
second to prevent it, and tells him to instead have a drink, but Paxon is
adamant. Svetlana doesn't come with, saying she's already seen that show.

Natalya and Paxon ride in the back of an old black car of indeterminate
make, possibly of Soviet origin (communist Russia made everything from
wheelbarrows to cars back in the seventies and eighties). The girl keeps
joking, but Paxon isn't having any of it. He just wants to see his friend
and leave. The car arrives at what must have been a munitions plant or
factory from the cold war, now mostly in disrepair. A sentry post with an
arm still remains though, and lets them in.

It's basically a complex of semi-dilapidated buildings with a square in
front. Sure enough, the main building is a giant factory with that orange
smokestack. There are a lot of similar black cars with chauffeurs and goons
standing around. As Paxon gets out, he sees a well-dressed Chinese-American,
who when asked "Is it nice in there?" responds with "Don't spend too much".
Kinda weird.

Paxon passes a booth with an older guy inside with mutton chops, who tells
Paxon that for him, the exhibit is free. Natalya and Paxon walk further into
the factory, which is a complete dump of a place, obviously hasn't been used
for anything productive since before the Berlin Wall fell. At this point I
lost sympathy for Paxon, who is obviously too stupid to see he's being set
up, which he obviously is. It's like the guy DeNiro fires in /Casino/- I
just didn't feel sorry for him anymore.

Paxon walks down stairs into a dark, familiar hallway with Natalya, and
continues on to the end of the hall. We see Josh's corpse being surgically
operated upon by the salad guy, and Paxon freaks, calling Natalya a bitch.
She laughs, saying she's getting so much money for this, that Paxon is
really the bitch. At this point, some goons jump out of the woodwork and
drag Paxon away. We stick with Paxon though, as he passes by room after room
of people being tortured, maimed and beaten in various ways. It's both
fascinating and disgusting simultaneously, as we only see each victim for an
instant. Of course, Paxon is eventually put in a familiar chair, facing away
from the door, in a cell much like before. He's strapped in, and left in the
dark for about twenty seconds as we just hear him bitch and moan, screaming
and such.

A guy comes in eventually, dressed predictably. This guy we haven't seen
before though, and is skinny and tawdry. The goon tells Paxon to speak,
proving that he's an American. The goon leaves, and the new guy picks up a
pistol, waving it in Paxon's face. Paxon starts yelling at the guy that he's
never done anything to him, that he doesn't want to die, but the guy yells
back something in German. German! Paxon starts speaking German, and it's
obviously the same things that he just said in English. The guy with the gun
gets freaked out, and runs out of the room. The goon re-appears and puts a
ball gag on Paxon. The new guy then gabs a chainsaw off the wall and starts
revving it in Paxon's face. Like Josh, he throws up, but this time into the
gag and in plain sight. Really nasty. The new guy kinda pities him and takes
off the gag, and Paxon blows chunks across the floor. As he does this, the
guy takes the chainsaw and saws off part of Paxon's hand, removing his ring
and pinkie finger with lots of blood.

Since the chainsaw inadvertently hit the handcuffs, the guy runs at Paxon
with the chainsaw, but slips on the gag and vomitous, comedically getting
impaled by his own chainsaw. It pulls out his intestines, but he still
alive. Paxon somehow manages to pry his chair off the ground ( only one bolt
is holding him down?!?) and reaches for the pistol on the table as the guy
reaches for the chainsaw. Paxon grabs the gun and blows the guy's brains
out.

We then see the goon outside watching porn on a DVD player, and Paxon calls
his name. The guy walks in to the cell, to find the new guy dead on arrival.
Paxon takes the opportunity by turning around and shooting the guy
point-blank. He undoes his shackles and grabs a hammer and his severed
fingers, heading outside.


Two goons are walking out, so he hides in a nearby closet. Now this part is
really nasty: just as he gets in there, the door starts to open, so he hides
on the bottom of this cart piled high with various human remains and body
parts. Don't ask me how he managed to wedge himself under 600 pounds of
organic, dripping material in three seconds, but he did. The cart is pushed
away by the fat whistler from before, and onto an elevator. They go down six
flights to the incinerator, where the whistler starts grabbing random parts
of the cart and chopping them up as a butcher would. Paxon's fingers are
lost, unfortunately.

When the guy leaves the room with a bucketfuls of body parts, Paxon gets out
and clubs the guy, who's putting the parts into an oven. He heads back to
the elevator gripping his hand, and hits the up button. About halfway up
some guys spot him, but he keeps going. When he gets to the top floor
(ground level), he is in what seems to be a dressing room, with several
butcher/surgeon costumes hung on the wall. He checks the lockers, and finds
a beautiful expensive suit with a pair of gloves. Once it's on, he notices a
business card in his pocket, with the words "Elite Hunting" beside a picture
of a bloodhound. On the back, there are three prices: $5,000 for Russian,
$10,000 for European, and $25,000 for American. This sickens Paxon, who
starts to run out but runs into a guy walking in. The guy assumes that Paxon
is a paying customer just leaving, and starts on a rant of his own, saying
how it's such a rush and comparing the different ways of doing it. He says
he paid 50 grand for his client today, and Paxon just wants to get the hell
out there. Interestingly, the guy has a tattoo of a bloodhound on his arm,
identical to the one on the card, meaning there's an intense fraternity
here.

Paxon runs out, and sees the policeman from before with the baggy eyes
shaking hands with one of the goons. Number of surprised people in the
theater? Zero. He finds a car, which miraculously still has the keys in the
ignition (and a bloodhound on the key chain). Of course, in a moment of
intense lameness, he hears some blood-curdling screams (three floors down in
the earth behind a steel door?) from the factory. He runs down, though there
don't seem to be any guards suddenly, and finds the American from before
with his $50,000 dollar client (it's the Japanese girl with the cell phone).
He's taking a blowtorch to her face, and Paxon shoots him. As he helps the
girl, her eye is hanging out of her head, and she's screaming. He cuts off
the eye in plain view of the camera, and pus gushes out of the wound.
Disgusting, yet everyone was obviously enjoying it. He unshackles her, and
they run back to the car.

Paxon takes off in the car, the girl's face all bloody and nasty (yet
somehow, Paxon isn't the least bit white from running with a horrible wound
in his hand gushing blood, and the girl's wound stopped bleeding with not
dressing whatsoever). They're pursued, and bust through that wooden gate
like you've seen a billion times before. Supposedly, the guys are right on
their tail, but they get to a roadblock eventually, and there's no one
behind them. At the roadblock, the same cop from before is checking
everyone's cars (the goons from the factory found the bodies of the new guy
and the goon who was shot) for signs of Paxon. He sees him for an instant,
but as he runs to him, Paxon and the girl have run away.

They eventually get to the train station, but the place is crawling with
crooked cops on the lookout. As Paxon tries to hide with the luggage, the
girl sees a reflection of herself in a schedule case. Horrified, she commits
suicide by jumping in front of a locomotive, spraying blood all over
passerby. Paxon gets on the train and cries.

When Paxon arrives in a city that's actually normal, he sees the salad guy
from before, and immediately recognizes him. He follows him off the train
into a bathroom, and locks the door. As the guy's sitting on the toilet, the
Elite Hunting card flips under the stall, freaking him out. He reaches down
to pick it up, but Paxon slices off two of his fingers with a scalpel, again
in full view. He busts through the stall door and begins to drown the
Dutchman. It appears as though he may be dead, but the guy gasps out of the
toilet and sees Paxon's face in the reflection of some metal behind the
toilet. He's shocked and in awe, but Paxon grabs him and slices his neck
open. He throws him back in the toilet, and exits.

Paxon gets back on the train, and it pulls out of the station. The screen
fades to black, and the word HOSTEL appears on the screen over the tense
music.

It's more than just Tarantino-ish....it was actually directed by Quentin Tarantino.

In anycase, I heard from a random source that the movie was the most visual gory flick he'd EVER seen....

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

I believe it was Tarantino's production company that did the movie. Or something like that. His name is mentioned in the advertisements.

Shite, you're right Wan!

I happened to catch a glimpse of the movie poster earlier this week while walking in typical NY fasion--quickly, that is--through Grand Central Station here in NYC. I had thought Tarantino directed but in fact he was only the Executive Producer, so there you have it. In any case, after reading that synopsis you posted, I feel as though I've already seen the flick! Saved me $11 right there mate! Thanks :-)

Cheers,

Just watched the movie(after a good smoke) and think that it captured quite a few similarities to some real life European odysey's I have seen and read about on this board. (with the major exception to the violence portrayed) It was mainly a horror flick with a Amsterdam twist! Very well done IMO..

They obviously did some "research" and really captured the essence of the EU's babes of Romania, Bulgaria, Russia, Czech, and the Dutch. The Dutch babes blew them off,,, the Romanian and Czech girls just blew them!! The spa scene shows the guys wearing just a towel (sound familiar) and hot,, spa bathing hotties! No wrist bands or schlussels, no robes,,just pure Fkk style (In Bratislava)

There were some fairly corny Coffeeshop scenes showing a bunch of stoned young Americans (none of that tobacco mixing here). The few Wallen type shots were very "hollywood" , sillouhettes of people engaging in choreogrphed sex acts with purple and white backgrounds ,, not one "Kamer te hur" sign ! Kind of a psychodellic version with music.

Overall, it was quite a interesting journey to watch, especially when they present that special aura those Eastern European girls have with their smiles, accents, and sexiness.

One last thing to add.. Why is it that Tarrentino incorporates Amsterdam in the start of both this film (Hostel) and Pulp Fiction ( when Samuel Jackson and Travolta are discussing what goes on in Amsterdam)

I think there some kind of message here,,,obviously he likes Amsterdam eh?

Hostel was a weird movie.

As far as the "Amsterdam scenes", I agree with the other poster that the coffeeshop scenes were cheesy. The one guy that coughed after a bong hit I think was the director doing a cameo.

They had a scene that looked similar to the covered area but so phony with backlit doors showing the sex going on inside. There was one scene of an outdoor kamar window girl that at least looked like a kamar.

What I really laughed at was the scene where they were past curfew so the hostel doors were locked. They started banging on the door and yelling to let them in and then the people in houses around them started throwing bottles down at them. You then heard a police siren. I don't know if I've ever heard a police siren in all my trips to Adam.

Whatever needs to happen to help the script I guess....

Finally got to see Hostel Today, on a crappy pirtate DVD shot in a cinema., complete with the shadows of poping up heads going out to the toilet, or to buy popcorn. Violent film for sure, most violent bit was the eye gouge scene.

Anyway the bit of mongering in de Dam was very fake looking to be honest. I wonder did any of the research team actually have sex with a hooker in a kamer to see what it is really like, it appears not. Maybe they were trying to stylise it abit, who knows?

Also there is a lovely shot of a hooker stripping off, who has a really big sexy bottom.

Ive just found out,

The Amsterdam scenes were actually fimed in Prague. And this is confirmed in a scene where Prague castle is visible in the background.

As far as Tarantino's connection to Amsterdam is concerned - well, he wrote his half of Pulp Fiction while in Amsterdam, so he's obviously done his research quite well in regards of the local habits.

And not only his passion for weed is mentioned in the Peter Biskind book "Down and Dirty Business", but I also had the privilege of sharing a big fat one with him once... no tobacco, of course. *grin*
