Bringing a Fresh Spin to a Horror Classic
For those who aren’t aware, Hostel is set for a thrilling makeover. The aim is to refresh this notoriously brutal horror series into a more elevated and sophisticated thriller. The development of this transformation springs from the creative wells of none other than Fifth Season, the mastermind behind the successful Apple show, Severance. With a team consisting of Roth, Chris Briggs, and Mike Fleiss acting as executive producers, and Roth taking the directorial helm, the project certainly promises a roller-coaster ride of suspense and surprise.
