i havent even seen hostel but i can tell you this .. Hostel is a grindhouse homage.
Grindhouse was all about getting away with as much sex and violence on screen as possible - and a lot was possible because these films were never meant for the mainstream moviehouses.
not only has there been a broad recent trend of remaking old horror films - there has also been a growing nostalgia for the old grindhouse films and they're slowly but surely making their way back into the theatres..
and as in every new resurgence of anything old - the values people appreciated in the origionals are amped up 'to 11' in the new wave .. its the way they always do things ..
