Tonight, we’ll be discussing two films that helped change the face of horror when they hit screens in late 2005, both from young and hungry writer/directors who wanted to make a splash... or splatter, as the case might be: Wolf Creek from Australian Greg McLean and Eli Roth’s Hostel.
Meanwhile, Hostel shocked audiences with its raw depiction of human trafficking and sadism in Eastern Europe, playing upon Western tourists’ worst fears and pushing boundaries that mainstream horror had rarely crossed.
Together, this dastardly duo helped pivot horror from an era of self-aware slashers and J-Horror remakes to something darker and more visceral. Ultimately, Wolf Creek and Hostel redefined what horror could show—and how far it could go.
