A year and a month ago I saw a movie that re-energised my belief in American's making horror movies, for years I had been completely disillusioned with American horror and had turned to Italy to see movies that made me feel something. That is of course until Hostel, Hostel was a movie that gave me real feeling for horror again.

The only downside is a rather unpleasant encounter with some of the local children, but these things happen anywhere you go I guess.

While the girls enjoy the beauty of Bratislava across the world a rather unusual auction is taking place; photographs of the girls are seemingly up for sale to the highest bidder, or is it something more sinister than just photographs?
