the only shocking thing about this movie is how poor the quality of writing is.

i thought it was appalling how hostel portrayed "foreigners". ie, it paid no attention to the cultural psychology of the dutch, slovak and japanese people in the movie, and how they would likely react in the situations the movie placed them in.

foreign people are not just americans with "funny accents"!

Pathetic representation of Slovakia - I was there in March.

i've never been, although until recently i lived with two girls from slovakia. so while i can't comment how well it represented slovakia, i can say for damn sure that it didn't portray slovak people at all well!
