I've seen them both, Hostel and Hostel Part II, till this day something really spooks me, just at the thought of it. Are there organizations like the films
"Elite Hunting Organization" really out there?
Now if you haven't see the film Hostel and Hostel 2 from writer and director Eli Roth, and have no idea what the Elite Hunting is, its basically an organization set in Slovakia that hunts and brings in unaware foreign tourists to a hostel. Rich western businessmen tied to the organization bid in the 10's of thousands range for the unsuspecting victims. Once a bid is won, the organization captures and takes the victim to a isolated location. The winning bidder is then taken to the discrete location on contract and is brought to the bound victim where he/she then tortures and kills the victim.
Now I have looked into this matter and have honestly thought "why wouldn't this organization exist?", not to say I would take part in this form of entertainment, but I mean, it really isn't that much of a far fetch Idea!
The film was billed as "inspired by true events"; Eli Roth claimed to have read about poverty stricken individuals in Thailand who would sell "members of their family to organized crime, then American and European businessmen would pay $10,000 to walk in a room and shoot them in the head."
en.wikipedia.org...
This sort of event has also been suggested to be active in certain parts of Indonesia, where businessman pay large sums of money to kill!
I want to get the thoughts of other ATS member and if you have any information on these sorts of organization, please do post!
Plus, if you haven't already seen Hostel or Hostel II, I suggest you take a look and think for you self, if it may exist!
Countess Elizabeth Báthory (Báthory Erzsébet in Hungarian, Alžbeta Bátoriová in Slovak, Alžběta Báthoryová in Czech, Elżbieta Batory in Polish, August 7, 1560 – August 21, 1614) was a countess from the renowned Báthory family. She is possibly the most prolific female serial killer in history and is remembered as the "Blood Countess" and as the "Bloody Lady of Čachtice", after the castle near Trencsén (today Trenčín) in the Kingdom of Hungary, (today's Slovakia), where she spent most of her adult life. After her husband's death, she and four collaborators were accused of torturing and killing hundreds of girls and young women, with one witness attributing to them over 600 victims, though the number for which she was convicted was 80.[1] In 1610, she was imprisoned in the Csejte Castle, where she remained bricked in a set of rooms until her death four years later. The case has led to legendary accounts of the Countess bathing in the blood of virgins in order to retain her youth and subsequently also to comparisons with Vlad III the Impaler of Wallachia, on whom the fictional Count Dracula is partly based, and to modern nicknames of the Blood Countess and Countess Dracula.

The idea has been around for awhile. Richard Connell wrote "The Most Dangerous Game" in 1924. In 1994 a movie called "Surviving the Game" came out about a homeless guy, played by Ice-T, who is recruited to be the game on an elite hunting trip. So it's not exactly a new concept.

There is definitely a history of this type of activity by the elite in that corner of the world.

They were cut with scissors, pricked with pins, even prodded with burning irons onto short spikes in a cage hung from the ceiling to provide Bathory with a "blood shower"
