I just saw Hostel 2 on the weekend. When i left the cinema, i said to the person that was with me that the movie was crap. However after a day or so, there were specific parts in the film that i couldn't get out of my head. There are spoilers here, so if you don't want to know don't read on. The obvious reference to Countess Bathory i.e. the lady bathing in the slaughtered girls blood was a great element. The other was the powersaw through the girls face/ head. The thing that i like about the films is how events are explained, and how there is a conclusion to the events that have happened or they are explained or shown why they occured to the viewer. The weakest parts of the film was where it was implied that the dogs killed or were going to kill. Also where the cannibal is eating parts of the foreigner in the room, it could have been done more convincingly, eating his face or something. The dogs weren't even frothing at the mouth. Dobermans or pitbulls would have looked more convincing. Like the Saw movies, what makes this good is the interesting way that people are tortured and killed. i don't mind sex and horror as a mix. You almost got the impression that the rich foreign girl was attracted to Beth by the kiss she gave her at the rockpools on the back of the neck.:D
