The film starts pretty much where the other left off. The main survivor(Jay Hernandez) of the first film is introduced who doesn't last long until meeting a grizzly demise.
This for a start makes me think the first film was a little pointless and irrelevant.
The film focuses more on the elusive butchering faceless enterprise which sells students to the highest bidders and members of said entity. In this case two men who are part of the club.
Roger Bart plays Stuart and Richard Burgi is Todd and their attitude is pretty laid back to this grim sport/hobby. Did they both run off set from Desperate Housewifes by any chance?
The three girls Bijou Phillips, Heather Matarazzo and Lauren German are suitable to their respective characters.
Liked the Pulp Fiction reference on the tv.
Was quite excellent gore and torture scenes, a few sick yet funny parts.
The first Hostel felt fresh, this sequel feels a little regurgitated. More than likely a third in the making, yet a new direction needed.
Awesome movie. Far more intelligent than the first, with just the right atmosphere.
Not better, yet not worse, then the first film in this gratuitous film series, Hostel: Part II is a film that holds many sharp tools, but also throws a few blunt objects in the audience's direction, too. In many respects, it seems that this sequel has addressed the issues that degraded the first film, but yet ironically lacks some of the heart and sarcastic fun that the first 'frolic' had.
First assumptions of Hostel: Part II brings us the fact that this is, for the most part, a better made film than it's counterpart. An equal tone has been encompassed into a film that has a much tighter grasp on what it is trying to convey. The cinematography has been picked up and now resembles truly dark imagery, however, this tends to be juxtaposed to the often satirical turns that this narrative takes.
If there is one plus point to this film, then it is this - Roth gets great performances. The film is nearly worth sitting through just for Roger Bart alone, who adds layers to his character that allows him to stray from a cliche'd, carbon copied caricature like our sex-starved twenty-somethings from our first encounter. And while the rest of the cast supplements well, the narrative takes constant turns that never appeal. We are focused a little TOO much on the functioning of this hell house as we delve into our antagonists. As seen in previous films, unveiling the shroud of mystery often takes some of the scare out of the premise.
However, if you are able to look past the graphical gore and nonsensical, tedious narrative structuring, then you may actually find some "food for thought". The concept of America's ignorance and their view from the rest of the world is taken a step further by digging into the naivety of third world tourist's; taking the world and it's people for granted. But where this film is able to strike a further chord is by taking a subtle examination of the human psyche and our evolution from "animals". We have a choice, but is there still a degree of instinct embedded into us that alters our perceptions and actions?
Though, unluckily for Hostel: Part II, all of these concepts and and critically uplifting aspects seem like pieces of drifting wood in a river - they eventually get drowned out by the mess surrounding them. The violence is not the real problem here, instead it's the inability to capitalize on key concepts and make them truly work.
Hmmm,Mixed feelings on this one folks.There are some cool aspects that I will be willing to chat with anyone about,But I also want to be very resectful of those who haven't seen this yet and not be a Spoiler.=)
Ew. I seriously think people who make this crap are sick. But then again, look at all the freaks going to see this. What is wrong with everybody!?
it's not scary nor is it worth your time. don't pay money if your looking for a classic horror this movie is not for you

I highly recommend "Hostel" Part One which I know will become a Cult Classic. As for the sequel it will not be remembered. This film did not have the suspense and shock factor that the other film did. Although they used the same Hostel and some of the characters they just couldn't match up. I did like the fact that they had the main character from the 1st film in this movie but they should have had him through out the whole film because he played such a strong role in the plot. Instead of course they had what every horror film genre always has.. Using woman to appeal to the Str8ght Men.. and lots of nudity. More of the fact that they used 3 woman to go to the same Hostel and have the story replayed bored me. What I found interesting were the two characters that came to hunt and see how they went about the whole process. The best scene in this film to me was "the girl hanging over candles" For a sequel it wasn't bad but the whole factory seemed more like a corporate take over and made it look a bit cheesy.
Took to long to get into the movie and it was messed up when the chick ripped the guy's balls off.
this movie was so suspensive... i love it... it creates a big heart beat and an open wide mouth wooowww!!!... it gives a lot of emotion and some imagination which scared me... its so eiiiiiiiiwwww but i liked it... hope theres a part III which is more kadiri and scary!!! nice one!!!!!!!
