July 28, 2007 - Today at the San Diego Comic-Con, Sony announced standard and high-definition releases for both of Eli Roth's gory, blood-soaked European adventures - Hostel: The Director's Cut and Hostel Part II. Slashing their way onto store shelves on DVD and Blu-ray on October 23, both films will present the final, violent killing stroke to the Hostel universe with completely unrated, feature-full editions. Roth was on-hand to discuss the films and said of the newly-unrated version of the original - complete with the original ending:
"When you watch the director's cut ending - this is the ending that could actually support a completely different sequel…You have to watch it knowing that the story would continue in a different way…We showed it to audiences and people just left the theatre genuinely upset and so we always said that we wanted people to be disturbed, but not, you know, ruined."
Hostel: The Unrated Cut will offer a host of features, including:
Director and Producers Commentary with Roth, Quentin Tarantino, Boax Yakin and Scott Spiegel
Director and Guests Commentary with Roth, actors Barbara Nedeljakova and Eythor Gudjonsson, editor George Folsey, Jr. and journalist Harry Knowles

"Killing the Car" multi-angle featurette
"Hostel Dismembered" International TV Spot
"The Treatment" KCRW radio interview with Roth by Elvis Mitchell
"Hostel Dissected" - three part behind the scenes featurette
Ten deleted scenes
Photo Galleries
Optional original ending
As for the second release - the special unrated edition for Hostel Part Two - Roth assures fans, "There is only going to be one DVD. We really jam packed this DVD and I don't want to double-dip the fans. It's very important for people to know that this is it for Part Two. This is the cut with all the extra violence and gore…with all the deleted scenes and some terrific featurettes, as well as Tarantino's awesome audio commentary."
The sequel DVD will feature:
