Hostel Part II, what a joke

[Liquid_Mirror43]

I never saw the original Hostel. But thought about going to see Hostel Part II. Then I got a call from a friend around 12:00 last night talking me out of it.
I'll admit have pretty low expectations for almost every horror movie that comes out nowadays though.

This movie was fucking great. Light years ahead of the first one. In fact, this should have been the first one and not the 2nd. He got the formula right this time. No soft porn bullshit, small amounts of nudity, a great story, and some decent gore shots(which will obviously look better in the theatre released version).

Also something that is normally taboo in american cinema is on this. I wonder if that makes the final cut?


I was expecting strike two, but Roth actually hit a home run.


Definitely check this film out, even if you hated the first one. Also, if you never seen the first one, you can still watch this and not be confused. It gives a small recap, and also goes into much more detail about how the Hostel operates.

8/10
I just caught a Matinee of the film. If you liked the first one. You will definitely like part 2. Better acting, better story, pretty much just a better film.
I'm giving 8/10 just because of the end. :eek:
Thanks Eli. That was brutal. :D

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

I am going to see Hostel II tomorrow night. This will be the first time in three years that I have set foot in a theatre. I hate theatres but have to have a look at this movie - I hope it is worth the effort. It seems that those who liked the first one, liked this one. This gives me hope.
