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…

Todd: "Sometimes, you meet a guy and there's just something fucking scary about him. Something that makes you think this guy has killed somebody. He doesn't have to act tough. He never has to say it. But like an animal, you can sense it. You know that this guy's got the balls to do what few others can. And that's you after today, my friend. People are gonna fucking fear you. Linda is gonna fucking fear you. What we do today is gonna pay off every day for the rest of our lives."
Most horror sequels are entertaining but completely unnecessary. Hostel 2 justifies its existence by elaborating on things…
Oh hey, remember when Eli Roth made a feminist horror film with a smart, relatable and QUEER final girl and no one talks about it because they write it off as a cheap cash-grab? This movie is great, y’all.
really dig how this widens the lens of the first film's A Most Dangerous Game funneled through abu ghraib images by a eurohorror and exploitation gorehound to account for our knowledge of the process now. the victims and clients are now traced as equal participants in the structure because it should no longer be a shock that these women are meat for an industry (the literal snuff one in the film as well as the metatextual one we are complicit spectators in that my friend mike thorn notes in his excellent piece) or that wealth and leisure can only exist due to the extreme suffering of others, and boy if eli roth knows how to do anything it's depict the…
"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.
buying out victims so that their bodies suffice not as something human but as another product to be toyed with and sold like the violation of bodies they sold to you first - h toyed with punishing the lead trio but h-p-ii messes around with good people instead letting them sink into disparity for no good reason, true nihilism on film, the themes of resident evil turned r-rated
"I would never watch one of those hostel films, I prefer my film violence to be emotional and psychological because that's art" - Hypocrites,

I love the look of kids playing soccer with a severed head in the morning.
In Hostel 2 loose ends are tied up and a group of three women are lured to the hostel of death for a fresh round of torture-murder. The film delves deeper into how the hostel actually works, what the clients are like, and how deep the influence goes. It's ridiculous but occasionally fun if you are into horror.
I'm in the camp that likes the second one more than the first because it is more…
Horror of 2007 / Horror of the 2000's
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…
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…
eli roth after he shoots any scene: i can’t believe i just did that i’m so fucking crazy
