I dont know when this vote took place, but somewhere during the history of Hollywood it was decided that the international community was always going to get cooler shit than us domestic folk. Trailers, posters and clips are almost always better when they have the 'international' tag on them; and usually more unrated too.
Continuing with this trend, the good Deutschlanders over in Germany have recently started posting a sweet looking movie poster for the upcoming Eli Roth horror Hostel.
Hostel Poster
Hostel tells the story of two adventurous American college buddies Paxton and Josh who backpack through Europe eager to make quintessentially hazy travel memories with new friend Oli, an Icelander they've met along the way.
Paxton and Josh are eventually 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...
Just like the film Hero, Lions Gate Films makes sure to exaggerate the 'Quentin Tarantino Presents' on all of the films media so far. He is name is being mentioned so often that you begin to think that it was him who directed it.
I hate getting my teeth drilled.

Hostel will be released to theatres on January 13th, 2006.
