Both Hostel Films on Blu-ray

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has announced that they will bring Eli Roth's 'Hostel' and 'Hostel II' to Blu-ray on October 23rd, day and date with the DVD releases. Both films will be presented in their unrated, director's cut form. No specifications have been announced at this time, but expect extras to mirror the DVDs which include commentaries, deleted scenes, and numerous featurettes.

Hostel: Paxton and Josh, two college friends, are lured by a fellow traveler to what's described as a nirvana for American backpackers – a particular hostel in an out-of-the-way Slovakian town stocked with Eastern European women as desperate as they are gorgeous. The two friends arrive and soon easily pair off with exotic beauties Natalya and Svetlana. In fact, too easily... Initially distracted by the good time they're having, the two Americans quickly find themselves trapped in an increasingly sinister situation that they will discover is as wide and as deep as the darkest, sickest recess of human nature itself – if they survive.

Hostel II: Three young Americans studying in Rome set off for a weekend trip when they run into a beautiful model from one of their art classes. Also on her way to an exotic destination, the gorgeous European invites the coeds to come along, assuring them they will be able to relax and rejuvenate. Will the girls find the oasis they are looking for? Or are they poised to become victims for hire, pawns in the fantasies of the sick and privileged from around the world who secretly travel here to savor more grisly pursuits?
