What's left behind the scenes

  • All promotional trailers for the film contain the following inscription – “based on a true story.” Director Eli Roth explains the situation as follows – he once found a Thai website on the Internet advertising rather specific services. For $10,000, anyone could have the opportunity to torture, torment, and ultimately kill their victim in any way possible.
  • Inspired by this “bloody idea,” Eli showed this website to Quentin Tarantino, and the two men began preparing the script. Later, Quentin and Eli admitted that they still don’t know if such services were actually offered or if it was someone’s cruel joke.
  • Rick Hoffman, who played the role of the American businessman, suffered a concussion and seriously bruised his head during the filming of the scene in which his character decides how to kill his victim.
  • Eli Roth hired ordinary children from the street to play members of the 'Bubble Gum' gang.
  • Eli Roth officially apologized to the President of Iceland for portraying the Icelander Oli as a sexual maniac and alcoholic in his film. In response, the President simply laughed and said that the people of his country had never been depicted in such a light in a movie before. Eli also apologized to the Icelandic Minister of Culture, believing that his film could seriously damage Iceland's reputation.
  • Approximately 150 gallons of blood were used in the making of the film. This is about three times more than was used in Roth's previous film, 'Fever Pitch'.
  • The role of Oli was written by Eli Roth specifically for Eitur Gudjonsson after they met at a press conference during the promotional campaign for 'Fever Pitch' in Iceland in 2002. Eli was so impressed with the Icelander's charisma that he promised him a role in one of his future films. Eitur initially took the news with skepticism, but when Eli contacted him and offered him one of the key roles in 'Hostel', the young man immediately agreed.
  • Eli Roth presented the film at the Icelandic Film Festival in 2005. During the film festival, Roth and Quentin Tarantino were initiated as Vikings in a ceremony organized by Eitur Gudjonsson. Each of them received their Icelandic names: Roth became Eli Sheldonsson, and Quentin – Quentin Connisson. The entire process of making the film – from script development to release – took 12 months. The average Hollywood film requires three times as long.
  • Filming took place in a functioning psychiatric hospital in Prague, built in 1910, in a wing that had been closed for over 50 years. Most of the scenes were shot in the so-called building No. 10, which housed the most unruly patients. The location was so creepy that Eli Roth invited a string quartet to the set. The music of Vivaldi helped the filmmakers overcome the primal fear in this terrifying place.

  • Eli Roth presented the film at the Reykjavik International Film Festival in 2005. During the festival, Roth and Quentin Tarantino were inducted into the Viking order in a ceremony organized by Eitor Gudjonsson. Each of them received their Icelandic names: Roth became Eli Sheldonsson, and Quentin became Quentin Connisson. The entire process of making the film – from script development to release – took 12 months. The average Hollywood film requires three times as long.
