Lions Gate Films is set to handle US theatrical and TV distribution for "Hostel," the latest gore-tastic flick from "Cabin Fever" writer-director Eli Roth says the trades.

The story centers on an American backpacker (Jay Hernandez) who stumbles upon a mob-run torture ring involving human trafficking and sex tourism.

Screen Gems will keep domestic home video and international theatrical distribution rights. The project is aiming for a theatrical release December 21st.
