Three American students studying art in Rome are drawn into a grim world of torture and suffering in director Eli Roth's blackly comic sequel to the horror hit that shocked the world. Beth (Lauren Ger... read more read more...man), Whitney (Bijou Phillips), and Lorna (Heather Matarazzo) have ventured outside of their stateside surroundings in order to get a more worldly appreciation of the arts. But sketching nudes all day can take its toll on even the most talented artist, and when class is over the three girls jump at the opportunity to experience Europe firsthand. As they set out on the train for an impromptu weekend trip, however, the coeds are surprised to cross paths with the beautiful model they had just been sketching. It appears that she, too, is preparing for a vacation that promises to be both relaxing and rejuvenating, and a generous invitation to join her at a remote hostel surrounded by soothing hot springs ultimately proves too tempting for the adventurous Americans to pass up. Unfortunately for the unsuspecting students, one person's idea of relaxing can be another's worst nightmare. Now on an unavoidable collision course with two American businessmen who long to get an edge on their competition by experiencing the thrill of the kill and a scythe-wielding woman who maintains her youthful visage using the Elizabeth Bathory method, these unsuspecting students are about to fall into a trap that remains one of the sadistic and wealthy elite's most well-guarded secrets. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Sequel to Hostel, Hostel 2 is pretty much the same film as the first one except that it's less uninspired, instead of being Guys back packing in Europe, it's Women who are the victims. The only decent scene that had genuine terror is when the rich business men, place bids on thei... read morer potential victims, I thought that was well done, but as far the film goes, it fails to live up to effective standards of horror, and ultimately is just the same film as the first except they switched the characters around. Hostel 2 is a failure and I think that it should have gone straight to DVD, because really this is one bad sequel and doesn't offer anything new to add to the story of the first one. Hostel: Part II simply doesn't work and I thought the film was pretty boring to be honest. This sequel was very predictable and if you've seen the first film, then you'll know how this one will turn out. This is a poor sequel and one that really isn't worth watching. Though the first Hostel was good, this one was terrible. I don't see why they bothered making the same film twice. I think the filmmakers could've at least tried a little harder than this to create a decent sequel. However this is not the case. If you're looking for a horror film with originality, then skip on this sequel. This film is far from original, and it's a mess from start to finish. However if you're looking for a film that lacks anything original, then this is the film for you. However, stick with the original. This one was simply awful.

    I don't particularly feel like writing much about Hostel II, but I enjoyed it, and found it far less objectionable than the media and other horror fans make it out to be. We watched it in a "history of the slasher" class I took and, as part of an assignment, here's a question I a... read moresked in relation to the film. Food for thought I guess:

    I felt that I enjoyed the film a lot more when I recontextualized it with everything we've learned thus far in the class about the genesis of the slasher and the tropes that it most commonly explores: gender, abnormal psychology, adherence to socially normative behavior and the disturbance it causes, etc. Hostel 2 is hitting the required thematic bases, but it's just been structured in a different way, and a quite bizarre one at that. It takes nearly an hour for final girl Beth to be kidnapped, and although she's faintly aware that something's not quite right in Slovakia from the start, the pace is almost glacial and the body count low compared to nearly all the other movies we've seen this semester.

    This leads me to a point of great curiosity. For a film widely decried as "torture porn," there really isn't that much torture in Hostel 2. When I consider what puts a person in a tortured state, it's generally a lack of control on the person's part coupled with the intent to cause protracted suffering from the torturer. Lorna's death is the most clear-cut case of torture in the film, but Whit kicks the bucket pretty quickly and Beth only gets smacked a few times. To contrast, there are scenes in other films from the class such as Tina's death in Nightmare on Elm Street, where she's pinned to the walls and ceiling and savaged for what seems like five minutes...no control, protracted suffering. Nash's death in The Hitcher is arguable too. These read an awful lot like torture to me. So here's what I want to know: what IS torture porn, and why is the depiction of torture an inherently negative trait for a horror movie to have?

    Everything was going well until the last scene made the entire movie a joke. Playing with someone's freshly cut head? Idiotic. This movie was similar with the first one, only in better version. They only changed a bit here and there. Instead of 3 guys, they selected 3 girl... read mores. They did a great job on horror part. But somehow, they couldn't think of a better story to start with. Just like the first one.

    Come on Eli, you gonna redeem yourself with the third one then? DON'T make it a franchise...please.

    I think I had even more fun on the second outing, Eli Roth is a total godsend to longtime horror fans. This has such a great entertainment value, it's a non-stop crazy trip into professional torture. The film knows what it is and gives you exactly what you need. It's one of the f... read moreunniest pieces of horror i've seen in a long time, comparable to the Evil Dead series. Like those, it gives you such a great sense of satisfaction and enjoyment. It wasn't just made to scare you and then become meaningless afterward, but to give you wholesomely pleasant experience. The characters are even more fun this time, showing some of the most hilarious female dialogue (reminiscent of 70's era). I honestly can't think of anything bad to say about this, it's pure fun.

    Just as good as the first film, its gory, creepy, disturbing and unpredictable. It doesn't succumb to the typical modern horror clichés either, so top marks, it?s the best modern horror film to come along in a long time!

    Three American college students studying abroad are lured to a Slovakian hostel, and discover the grim reality behind it.

    REVIEW

    Torture porn is the correct moniker, it is no... read moret film, it is not narrative, it is not clever, its just badly made and poorly conceived trash.

    Did I mention I am a horror fan? There is not much you can say about this film without sounding entirely negative, its the horror equivalent of Meet the Spartans, setup/gag/setup/gag etc etc in a lowbrow derivative fashion. Excessive gore can and does work in the right setup, and much like the vfx in blockbusters, it works as long as its augmenting the narrative not replacing it.

    There is sadism in spades that is meant to shock you, meant to repulse you and that's fine, but that's it, its a one trick pony, and a lame one at that.

    Anyone could sit in a room and think up the most horrifying ways of dispatching each other, and frequently many 9 year olds do, in an attempt to gross each other out, and that pretty much sums up this movie, childish and silly.

Roth's dark humor and lacerating view of human weakness sometimes suggest George Romero; what he lacks is Romero's stubborn belief in personal morality. Full Review

Eli Roth's Hostel: Part II is an authentic real-world creep show -- better, if anything, than its predecessor. Full Review

The movie is almost totally devoid of suspense, which is one of the marks of a true exploitation film. Why waste time with a bunch of false scares and tension, when you can go straight to the pain and... Full Review

Hostel: Part II offers more hard-core horror and an even more outspoken message [than the first].

Ends up there is a moral to the story, one sure to delight the bamboozled pseudo-intellectuals who laughably defended Hostel as a geo-political critique of American arrogance and the culture of torture. Full Review

No doubt about it: Roth is a talented guy. But it would be nice to see him use his skills in the service of something other than more sadistic, pandering, pornographic violence. Full Review

Scott Bowles, USA Today

Any semblance of suspense quickly gives way to buzz saws, drill bits and sickles. And the movie ends so abruptly, one has to think the filmmakers ran out of either money or prosthetic body parts. Full Review

It's something of an accomplishment to stage deaths so disgusting, the main reaction is nervous laughter. Full Review
