* JapaneseTourist - Kana & Yuki.

The first film featured male victims while the second film features female victims of the organization.

* MeaningfulName - The woman who bathes in Lorna's blood in the second film is named [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_B%C3%A1thory Mrs Bathory]].

* Honeytrap: [[spoiler: Natalya, Svetlana and Valla. Axelle to an extent in that she flirts with Beth]]

The film (and its sequel) revolve around a secret society of torture clubs, which use Eastern European hostels (basically cheap dorm-style hotels for tourists) and [[HoneyTrap local women]] to capture victims for the wealthy to kill and torture at their leisure.

* FromBadToWorse - [[spoiler: Having half your hand cut off, escaping via dead body trolley, getting outside the hostel, going back ''in'' to save a girl only for her to kill herself 10 minutes later]].
** [[spoiler: Hell, if ya want to go down that road, he went through all that for literally nothing, as he gets himself decapitated shortly after returning home in the sequel.]]

* ItGetsWorse - [[spoiler: Having half your hand cut off, escaping via dead body trolley, getting outside the hostel, going back ''in'' to save a girl only for her to kill herself 10 minutes later]].

* LesYay - Between Axelle and Beth.

* FanDisservice - Well, obviously. One specific example, though, in Part II: Creator/HeatherMatarazzo has a very nice body. It would be great to see her do a straight (or [[GirlOnGirlIsHot not so straight]]) nude scene. [[spoiler: Hung upside down and bled to death? Not so much]].

{{Hostel}} is a 2005 horror/TorturePorn movie by EliRoth and produced by QuentinTarantino.

** And he was played by [[CannibalHolocaust Ruggero Deodato]].

* CastingGag: In part II the cannibal is played by Ruggero Deodato the director of Cannibal Holcaust.

* CastingGag: In part 2 the cannibal is played by Ruggero Deodato the director of Cannibal Holcaust.

Not surprisingly, the film has been heavily censored in various countries and lambasted by The Czech Republic for their portrayal in the film. ([[DidNotDoTheResearch It gets worse]]: The movie is said to be in Slovakia, was filmed in the Czech Republic, sports people with Russian names (uncommon thereabouts), speaking Russian, and dressed in uniforms that are probably from Ukraine. Also, it portrays the countries as they were in late 1980's. No wonder both countries were offended.)

The film (and its sequel) revolve around a secret society of torture clubs, which use Eastern European hostels (basically cheap dorm-style hotels for tourists) and [[HoneyTrap local women]] to capture victims for the wealthy to kill and torture at their leisure.

* BilingualBonus - Many of the scenes include dialogue spoken in untranslated foreign languages--most notably, a speech delivered by the main character towards his torturer in [[GratuitousGerman German]].
* BloodBath - In the sequel, one of the clients of the Elite Hunting group is a woman who slices up a suspended female captive with scythes and sickles, and bathes in the blood that spills out of her wounds. The client just so happened to be named Mrs. Bathory as a ShoutOut to the TropeMaker.

** To be fair, [[spoiler: it's not an aversion when it's part of Eli Roth's overall themes as a writer; IE in his horror films, the virgin always dies horribly while the slut/manwhore is usually the last man standing.]]

* ImAHumanitarian - The old man briefly seen in the sequel. He slowly cuts away at [[spoiler: Miroslav's]] leg, puts it on a plate, and happily eats away at a table in the background.

* LesYay - Between Axelle and Beth.

* PlayingAgainstType - [[TheProducers Roger Bart]], who, ''DesperateHousewives'' aside, tends to play bright and friendly roles as the villain of the second film. And he still mostly seems nice.

* ShoutOut - When the men in part I arrive at the hostel, [[PulpFiction Pulp Fiction]] is playing on the television in the lobby. The Hostel movies were produced by Quentin Tarantino, who directed Pulp Fiction.
* SoundtrackDissonance - Carmen's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs0E2CufQ7c Habanera]] plays while a cannabalistic old man eats [[spoiler: Miroslav]] alive.

* FanDisservice - Well, obviously. One specific example, though, in Part II: HeatherMatarazzo has a very nice body. It would be great to see her do a straight (or [[GirlOnGirlIsHot not so straight]]) nude scene. [[spoiler: Hung upside down and bled to death? Not so much]].

* TheBadGuyWins - Played straight in both films. [[spoiler: Sure, two people got away but that's merely surviving.]]
** [[spoiler: Well they did get [[{{Phelous}} "convenient revenge"]] on those that tricked them. So its not like all of the villains got off scott free.]]
* BerserkButton - Beth, when someone calls her a cunt.

* Honeytrap: [[spoiler: Natalya and Svetlana]]

* KarmaHoudini

* EvilForeigner - The Dutch Businessman and many others.

* PlayingAgainstType - [[TheProducers Roger Bart]], who, DesperateHouswives aside, tends to play bright and friendly roles as the villain of the second film. And he still mostly seems nice.
