The sequel was definitely better. I honestly thought that the first movie was incredibly overrated, though my opinion might speak more to my own personal desensitized self... I thought it took them waaaaaaay too long to get to the hostel, and once they did, there wasn't enough torture to really justify the cult praise. Then it turned into a revenge epic that just... wasn't interesting.
At least the second film brought you to the hostel immediately... and the torture scenes were definitely up to par. I loved the end as well. The revenge epic was short and sweet. And well done.

There should be a sequels thread... Honestly, the only clear reason that horror fans have given me that Halloween 2 is a fantastic movie is that
it picks up seconds after the first one leaves off. I'd say that that is the ONLY thing working for the film (that and Donald Pleasence)... There is no suspense. The murders are over-the-top and ridiculous. And the direction isn't nearly as good.
