In Amsterdam, American backpackers Paxton (Jay Hernandez) and Josh (Derek Richardson) and Icelandic Óli (Eyþór Guðjónsson) meet Alexei (Lubomir Bukovy), a Russian man who tells them about a Slovak hostel filled with American-loving local women. The backpackers board a train to Slovakia, where they meet a Dutch businessman (Jan Vlasák) long enough to be unnerved by his bizarre behavior. Upon arriving in the small village, the backpackers check into the local hostel and find themselves sharing a room with Natalya (Barbara Nedeljáková) and Svetlana (Jana Kadeřábková), two attractive, single women who entice the backpackers to a spa and a disco before sleeping with them.
Afterwards, the next morning, Óli is missing. A young Japanese backpacker named Kana (Jennifer Lim) also reports that her friend Yuki (Keiko Seiko) has disappeared. A MMS photo sent from Yuki's phone shows Yuki and Óli beneath a smokestack of an abandoned factory, with the word Sayonara written beneath it. Unbeknownst to Josh and Paxton, Oli has been decapitated and Yuki tortured, and (presumably) killed. Paxton and Josh decide to leave Bratislava with Kana the following day. They spot a man wearing Oli's jacket at a museum of medieval torture relics. Paxton later notices that in the MMS photo of Oli, Yuki and the smokestack is faked. Later that night, while partying with Natalya and Svetlana, Paxton and Josh succumb to the effects of alcohol. Josh stumbles back to the hostel while Paxton passes out in the disco's storage room.
Hours later, Josh wakes up handcuffed to a chair in a dungeon-like room surrounded by power tools and weapons. The Dutch businessman enters in a leather apron and gloves and begins torturing Josh drilling him in his pecs (just above his nipples). After he is done, the Dutch Business man sits down and talks to Josh, explaining his unfulfilled dreams of being a surgeon. Josh begs to be released, the businessman then cuts Josh's Achilles' tendon and lets him crawl towards the door before finally murdering him.
Across town, Paxton awakens and returns to the hostel to find both Josh and Kana missing. In his room are a different pair of beautiful women inviting him to a spa, eerily similar to Natalya's and Svetlana's offer from before. When the local police chief (Miroslav Táborský) proves unhelpful, Paxton locates Natalya and Svetlana and demands to be taken to an "art show" where he thinks his friends are. They drive to a factory on the outskirts of the town where inside, Paxton sees the Dutch businessman cutting up Josh's dead body. He screams at Natalya, who laughs at him, and he is then ambushed by thugs who drag him past cells filled with other backpackers being tortured by various clients.
...... and it continues.... I am not going to let you know the rest... lol... that would spoil it!!!
Anyhow.... sadistic, creepy and cruel... along the lines of Saw 1,2,3 !!!!!!!!! I liked it though I like creepy movies... you have to have a strong stomach for this sort of movie.... 8/10

I was disappointed. I expected more - but it seemed to focus on drugs and naked women than the horror/twisted side of things.
I went with two other horror enthusiasts, gung ho and everything, but ended up leaving with a sour taste in my mouth.
Not to mention the dumbass sitting down the row from us - he kept yelling "show us more boobs!" .... he was like 36 or something.
The 16 year old in attendance with us leaned over, as frustrated as the rest of us, and finally yelled back "Christ get over it! They're just TITS! Would you just shut up and watch the goddamned movie?!"
... I've never been more proud to be her friend. ^_^

It's basically... naked people getting killed. Worse and more gore than Saw, perhaps. stare I hate gore.
