Hostel/Hostel 2/Shrooms Blu-ray

Hostel:

Presented by Quentin Tarantino (Kill Bill, Vol. 1 & 2) and written and directed by Eli Roth (Cabin Fever), Hostel is a shocking and relentless film in the tradition of Saw about two American backpackers (Jay Hernandez, Friday Night Lights and Derek Richardson, Dumb and Dumberer) in Europe who find themselves lured in as victims of a murder-for-profit business.

Hostel Part II:

Presented by Quentin Tarantino (Kill Bill, Vols. 1 and 2) and written and directed by Eli Roth (Hostel, Cabin Fever), Hostel Part 2 is the shocking and gruesome sequel of the underground torture ring where rich businessmen pay to torture and murder their victims. The second installment in this terrifying franchise centres around three young American women (Lauren German, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), (Bijou Phillips, Bully), and (Heather Matarazzo, Welcome to the Dollhouse) who are studying in Rome. They are lured into a hostel by a beautiful young woman who sells them as the next victims of a murder-for-profit business.

Shrooms:

Having been promised the 'trip' of a lifetime by their Irish friend and mushroom expert Jake, a group of American teenagers arrive in Ireland, keen for adventure. Despite Jake's warnings about the shrooms they shouldn't eat, things start to go horribly wrong and the teenagers suffer horrific visions. The panicked friends are attacked by ghostly creatures, never sure whether they are experiencing gruesome reality or startling hallucinations. As the group is bloodily whittled down to one, it is soon clear that, whether or not these apparitions are real, the carnage they leave behind certainly is.
