After a young American backpacker goes missing in Europe, a group of journalists link his disappearance to a remote Polish village called Alvaina. Upon further investigation, the journalists discover that Alvaina has a history of bizarre cult activity revolving around human sacrifice.
Hellbent on revealing the truth, they travel to the small village to uncover the story first hand. But after the discovery of an ancient stone statue hidden within the town, they quickly find themselves pursued by a mysterious and vengeful group of locals. Forced into the gruesome reality of true survival horror, the journalists soon realize that Alvaina hides a much darker secret than they could ever imagine.

I saw this a few weeks ago. It was actually pretty good. The twist at the end was something I have often wished they would do in a movie and rarely ever have. Definately worth a watch.
I almost had zero expectation from this Movie But it turned out to be a real surprise package...Horror Fans Must watch this Movie.Highly Recommended. >)
This movie has been on my radar for a while now and I'm glad to see some positive reviews!
Question: Was it a creature movie more than torture?
You never, ever want to come between a blonde Polish dude and his pig... NEVER
this is the kind of movie that makes me want to never leave the us
I like Jack Brooks, so I'm interested in seeing what they can do for a serious horror film. >)
Jack Brooks makers... that alone proves this should be a good movie... at least.
Sounds a little along the lines of Hostel....Movies like these make me not want to travel at all.
dont worry. in europe we kidnap only USA backpackers. others are just safe
LOL

Lol.
