Following a geographical tour of Slovakia, three young American women are lured into a hostel by a handsome young man who sells them to the twisted masters, ties them up and brings upon an unthinkable world of pain.
I accidentally woke up at 4 am and lil old groggy and confused me was so fucking out of it that she trotted over to her Blu-Ray shelf and popped Hostel Part II in. Honestly both hostel and hostel part ii are jokes but they're not funny Like why the fuck are so many people calling this movie hilarious Do you hate women? R u Herculeus? (Hahaha) this film automatically fails in comparison to hostel because it doesn't have the king of the swing (Oli) like hostel part ii is sad when the first one is just bro down party time bush administration Iraq war symbolism. I also think it's really shitty for elite Huntings brand to actively use dogs…
I believe I have about 1 elaborately crafted, non-point and shoot criticism against this film. And it's right in the concept. You've got Hostel. People hated it for all sorts of reasons- it wasn't extreme enough for the gore fanatics, people who wanted an affecting drama were repulsed by the fact that the killers had no hint of remorse / that Roth didn't delve into the fragile or soft spots of their psyches, and in its action-thriller capacities it didn't want to tell you anything about how "The Company" actually worked. I've even heard a theory I like very much: that the still mainly male audience (let's not kid anyone) were turned off seeing themselves as the products in a…

"I am strong. I am fucking Hercules!"
Is Hostel: Part II better than the first film? Yes and no. It's essentially nearly the same film, just with more gore and instead of young men backpacking, it's young women. So it's nearly the same thing, but we already know that young American's get lured into Slovakia, so why go through that retread again? Instead Eli Roth amps up the gore. No really he does.
In this film, we follow three art students in Rome, Beth & Whitney and Lorna (Lauren German, Bijou Phillips, and Heather Matarazzo, respectively) as they are lured into Slovakia by Beth's newest friend, Axelle (Vera Jordanova). It also takes a…
My fellow Gore Whores the sequel has MORE horror, MORE gore and two of the most memorable scenes in goredom history! (The Scythe scene and the Alternative Doggie Treat scene)
While I enjoyed the originals all guy cast more because they were likeable and the kind of characters we know in real life! They were having a high old time and the wicked humor that ensued made them endearing and vulnerable which made the later horror scenes that much more horrific!
The opening set up for the girls was definitely weaker and I couldn't relate with the girls or like them and I certainly didn't care when they disappeared like I did with the guys!
I prefer the sequel for…
"I'm not that guy... I'm not that guy... I'm not that guy..."
Multinational corporate-sanctioned torture in unbearable detail. Eli Roth's filmography conveys a worldview that's pessimistic, horrifying, and a bit too convincing to be laughed off.
i took a whole class on gothic literature and this movie didn't even come up, i want a refund on College tm
For what it is, it's kinda silly. It's cool that they talk about the business side, but my God does Eli Roth have the blandest most unbelievable characters, except maybe Beth but not by much
Hostel 2
Ist die kranke und pervese Fortsetzung von Hostel 1.
Die aber leider nicht an das Niveau von Hostel 1 heranreicht. Trotzdem ist der Film immernoch stark da er einen starken Spannungsbogen besitzt.
Leider Gottes fand ich bei Hostel 2 die 30 Anfangs Minuten deutlich zäher als beim ersten Teil. Denn beim ersten Teil haben sympathische Akteure verholfen die ersten 20 im ersten Teil locker zu überstehen.
Dennoch da er eine hohe Spannung hat und ab der Mitte wieder einen tollen Mysteriösen Faktor hat, war der Film immer noch stark!!!
Außerdem lag im ersten Teil nur die Spannung im Vordergrund und hier wird es auch leicht Philosophisch angefasst, also auf die dargelegte Situation ein Kritischer Blick drauf.
Allerdings leidet darunter leider die Spannung etwas, weswegen er nicht so krank in fahrt kommt wie es in Teil 1 der Fall war!!
Trotzdem nochmal gesagt ist der Film immernoch äußerst stark, da er Immernoch eine hohe Spannung hat.
Rewatching this for an upcoming guest writer spot on Horrorworld.com
I’ve seen this numerous times.
For torture porn with a simple concept I don’t care what you say, it’s done well.
Large scale conspiracies done well in the horror world. Stay tuned for the update on an unusual review concept from a site I love.
I’m not convinced Eli Roth is a great director, but he has made one great horror film, and a woefully underrated one at that. Hostel Part II is a clever inversion of the Final Girl trope and ultimately, the monsters it spends time building up are the most physically and emotionally vulnerable characters. This thing also slays as a piece of atmospheric horror, filled with uncertainty and dread arising from navigating through an unfamiliar environment.
Has one of my favourite horror movie scenes of all time, not for the feint of heart. Although if you have seen the first one you won't be too surprised by this one.
im not the kind of person who gets repulsed by gore in movies but this was fucking disgusting and so patently misogynistic that it made me sick eli roth whats fucking good. fuck off
i didnt finish watching this i stopped like 45 minutes in but i cant imagine it got any better kdjfsldfkjg
