is 2005 movie Hostel based on true story?

I don't think the movie is based on a true story...\n\nBut I do believe there are probably places that do that.\nThink about it... we live in a very sick and twisted world; I'm sure there's something like that around.\n\nBy the way... other than the first 30 minutes of p0rn, that movie was amazing.  ♥ \n\n"Wanna' go disco?"

I agree with you.  I saw both films and if I had to choose which one to ban because of "family values" it would be "Hostel."  I'm a HUGE fan of horror and gore, but this was a lot, even for me.  If I had a child I sure as sh!t wouldn't want them to watch this film!  "Brokeback Mountain" was a genuine movie, a good movie.  With such a topic as homosexuality (which I never really derived from the film, just that the two had a love for each other, not men in general), hypocrisy runs abound.

Sounds like "The Entity".  Had Barbara Hershey playing the lead character and Ron Silver played the psychiatrist.  It was based on a true story.  Here is a link with a picture and description of the movie.\n\nhttp://www.vh1.com/movies/movie/10687/moviemain.jhtml

supposedly a true story of a haunting in a small home that eventually led to the death of a human. However, this haunting really hasn't been recorded. I don't really know whether or not i believe it but whatever. looks like a good movie!

Firstly, please bear in mind that the movie is simply a cinematic dramatisation, and bears almost no relation to present day reality.\n\nSince around the early 1990s, organized fighting inside football stadiums is very rare indeed, and hundreds of thousands of people attend matches every week perfectly safely..This is mainly due to  improved policing and stewarding techniques, a ban on alcohol inside the stadiums, and the fact that all major stadiums now have no standing space and are entirely seated.\n\nPrior to this however, it is fair to say that there was an underground culture of organised  gangs ( or" firms" as they were called) at some, but certainly not all,  football clubs. These first started in the late 1960s, They would aim to attack the "firm" of the visiting team, although rarely with anything more than their fists. A visiting "firm" would aim to overrun their opponents ground and thereby humiliate them.  The "high point" of this violence was probably the brief period between about 1977 to 1986.\n\nWhilst the possibility of potential trouble did not deter the majority of peaceful fans from attending matches, it certainly made football grounds uncomfortable and unnerving places. \n\nThere are many interesting academic and sociological studies made of football hooliganism, but here is a link to a helpful and brief article published by the University of Liverpool.: http://www.liv.ac.uk/footballindustry/hooligan.html

I don't think so.\n\nThe story, the music, and the acting of Brokeback Mountain touches the soul few movies can. It's universal. Women, men, gay, and straight, from all walks of life and cultures, who possess the same human decency of kindness and conscience, resonate in the same ways. That's the kind of beauty in BBM that grabs people and makes them cry.\n\nNeedless to say, those who are afraid to watch the movie, or cannot experience the true meaning of it, would not have much to say about it.  To say I have lived, I must have experienced.  This movie is an experience of a life-time.

Yes, It's "supposedly" based on true events!!\n\nWHAT MOVIES.COM SAYS ABOUT THE MOVIE:\nTwo hundred years ago in Tennessee, a demon called Old Kate takes up residence with the family of John Bell (Donald Sutherland). It torments them, and even causes a man's death. A local schoolteacher, Richard Powell (D'Arcy), witnesses the events and writes them down for his daughter.\n\nI saw this movie tonight. I was pleasantly surprised because this movie was GREAT!!!! My favorite genre of movie is suspenseful/thrillers (psychological) movies, and this movie had the BEST ending, my jaw almost hit the floor!! LOL I would not classify this movie has a horror movie, it's more of a thriller. So for those of you who want to see a scary movie (it had a few scary moments...there were some jumps and screams in the theater) this may not be the movie for you.

The hills have Eyes is not gory, copared to Hostel. If you want to see gory watch the SAW 3 movie. I saw that one twice aready and i might go see it again for the thrid time with some of my friends. I haven't seen hostel yet, but i did see the hill have eyes. I that movie is not scary. But my the commericals and comments that other people have made about Hostel i think is gory. Oh...by the way you have to go watch Hostel: Part 2 when it comes out. \n\nBYE

I saw Hostel, I am not gonna lie, the plot is really stupid. But if you like gruesomeness then you chose the right flix. Oh, and nudity. Not exactly a great combo in my view, but I am sure their are plenty of guys that like that.

I like the movie as a movie.  However the real fact of the situation are so different - the film can only be said to be very loosely based on fact.\nAnneliese Michel (September 21, 1952 – July 1, 1976) was a Catholic woman from Germany who believed she was possessed by six or more demons and subsequently underwent an exorcism.Anneliese experienced severe psychiatric disturbances from the age of 16 to her death at age 23. Although the faith-based treatment was performed at her own request, the hospitalization and intravenous feeding could have saved her life. Both the priests who performed the exorcism and her parents were convicted of manslaughter. The Catholic Church, which had authorized the exorcism, reversed itself and declared it a case of mental illness; however, many people believe she was genuinely possessed by demons, and her gravesite is a destination for pilgrims to this day.\nThe film significantly deviates from the real-world events (for example, the film is set in the United States and Anneliese was renamed Emily Rose and the court case was shown with a substantially different outcome). The German-language film Requiem (2006) by Hans-Christian Schmid holds a much truer account of the real-life events.\nAs to how 'true' this case was as opposed to being a mental illness, I don't know.  However even 'The Ammityville Horror' a well known hoax had a germ of truth behind it and the house still has been the scene of some disturbances, admittedly not as dramatic as the book and subsequent film.  I know it sounds strange, but I think there may well be some truth in this case, as well.

I thought Hostel was a waste of money! The first half was basically a porn. All sex and drugs..no story. The rest was okay..but I was expecting a lot more. I agree that Saw II was the best!!

The Hills Have Eyes is at least 10 times better than Wolfcreek, 3 times better than Hostel and just as good as Haute Tension. This is all I ask when I go out to see a horror movie... horror. It's a good thing Wes Craven did not direct this one because he would have ruined it like he ruined every movies he made in the last decade or so. Real horror fans don't want to see anymore girly movies like Scream with overcool characters and almost no blood. The hills have eyes delivers. Thank God it doesn't try to be funny, there's been too much humor mixed with horror lately, I don't want to laugh, I want to wet my pants and I almost did. \nMerci Aja.\nps. **spoiler** it would have been the ultimate taboo breaker if the baby did not survive but the overall ride is so much fun I can deal with the happy ending.

It depends on your taste in movies. For chick flicks, Rumor has it is pretty good. For comedy, Fun with D*ck and Jane is good. For romance, Tistan and Isolde. For gory, Hostel.

A movie is fiction not fact.

no the devils rejects was not based on a true story. if anything it was inspired by the hack and slash movies of the 1970's. its prolly the best horror movie i have seen in awhile because of that.
