HALLOWEEN HORROR SPOTLIGHT:
HOSTEL: PART II UNRATED |
|
From Sony Pictures Home Entertainment comes
HOSTEL PART II, the blood-soaked follow-up to writer-director-producer Eli Roth’s original masterpiece of terror, which further delves into the darkest recesses of human nature. Filled with gut-wrenching intensity and presented by Quentin Tarantino,
HOSTEL: PART II arrives Unrated on Blu-ray™ High-Def, DVD and PSP™ October 23. Just in time for Halloween, the horrifying second chapter follows the exploits of two clients (Roger Bart and Richard Burgi) of the murder-for-profit business as they spiral deeper into its chilling and depraved world. The Unrated DVD and Blu-ray™ disc boast additional torture sequences, and both formats are loaded with special features including four featurettes – the making of the film, the gory KNB-created effects, the fear-inducing design and revealing interviews with Eli Roth.
Additional features include a Blood & Guts Montage, 10 Deleted Scenes, Elvis Mitchell’s “The Treatment” Interview with Eli Roth, an international television special, and Cast and Crew commentaries with Eli Roth, Quentin Tarantino and others. The Blu-ray™ version offers the film in blood-curdling 1080p high definition detail, and the 5.1 channel surround, 48 kHz, 24-bit uncompressed audio sends shivers down the spine.

HORROR SPOTLIGHT: HOSTEL: DIRECTOR'S CUT |
|
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment
is set to release HOSTEL: DIRECTOR’S CUT, by writer-director-producer Eli Roth and executive producer Quentin Tarantino (Kill Bill: Vols. 1 &
2) on October 23, 2007 on a 2-disc DVD and hi-def Blu-ray Disc™.
The Director’s Cut is presented unrated with Roth’s shocking original ending – deemed too disturbing for theatrical audiences – restored for the first time. This deliciously macabre modern horror classic debuted in the top spot at the box office in January 2006 and follows two American backpackers as they are lured into a nightmarish hell. The bonus material on the new, unrated DVD and
Blu-ray Disc™ is as varied and plentiful as the film’s gruesome torture tools: five new featurettes; ten deleted scenes; four photo galleries; the international TV special “Hostel Dismembered;” a new interview with Roth from Elvis Mitchell’s public radio show “The Treatment;” a multi-angle “Kill The Car” featurette; commentaries by Roth, Tarantino and journalist Harry Knowles; and the option to choose between the theatrical and the Director’s Cut endings.
HOSTEL: DIRECTOR’S CUT available on 2 disc DVD and single disc Blu-ray™ High-Def 10/23!
