Elite Hunting is a fictional criminal organization and the major antagonists in the horror films
Hostel and Hostel: Part II, which operates a worldwide clandestine murder-for-profit business. Rich sadistic businessmen and women can bid on backpackers staying at a
hostel in eastern
Slovakia and torture them to death with many different tools at a
run-down factory.
It is suggested that Elite Hunting is a branch of the Russian Mafia which has inserted itself into a village in Slovakia.
In order to secure their organization, the Russian Mafia has secretly intimidated or purchased the local authorities to ensure their silence, and then established the actual facility in a local abandoned factory.
I always wanted to be a surgeon. But
the boards would not pass me. Can you guess why? You see? So I went into business. But business is so boring. You buy things you sell them, you make money you spend money. What kind of life is that? A surgeon, he holds the very
essence of life in his hands - your life. He touches it.
Elite hunting allows me to do this!
