I wasn't trying to blame this as an active immitation of the movie. It just looked like they seemed to have a notebook about 'house rules' implying that they might have been bringing friends/acquantences into their place to torture this dude, kinda a degree or two seperation from the plot of hostel.
I agree fully with the notion that with or without movie/TV/video game violence in our society there would be whack jobs such as these doing these types of things regardless. In no way shape or form am I trying to imply that a movie/TV/video game caused/inspired/or even drove them in any way to do this. I think you and Boblobla mis-interpreted me.
