10 Shocking Movies That Will Scar You For Life
10. Hostel
After breaking onto the scene with the gruesome Cabin Fever in 2002, Eli Roth has become a stalwart of the horror genre. With films like The Green Inferno and Knock Knock under his belt, you can always guarantee that the protagonists of his movies are going to be in for a rough time. Despite the movies he's gone on to make since Cabin Fever, and even with an adaptation of Borderlands in the pipeline, the movie that will always be synonymous with his name is Hostel.
Now, Hostel was many things. Dark, twisted, and probably single-handedly drove the Eastern European tourist business into the ground. It was also one of the first movies to be tainted with the evocative label 'Torture Porn'. Even so, Hostel is remarkably effective in its tension building, which is in turn punctuated by the horrific violence the main characters suffer through.
With scenes featuring Achilles heel slicing and optic nerve cutting, Hostel is a hard movie to erase from your memory.
