    Truly not as good as the first movie, the sequel didn't shock me nor did it surprise me. Only the climax is shocking.
  • September 29, 2009
    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!
  • August 23, 2009
    The first one was a little better and definitely had more gore, but this one had a twist at the end.

    "Na zdrowie."

    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 more)t 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.

    Not nearly as good as the 1st 1, the 1st 1 is now classic 2 me. This one has 2 bad ass fucking scenes that give it credibility

    *bows before Eli Roth* Loved this film.I saw it the Day it came out, the first showing at that theater Eli doesn't disappoint.
  • October 28, 2009
    Not as good as the first one since you already know what it's about and there is no real twist or surprise. But it's a fun torture-porn film if that's your thing. I think Eli Roth is crazy, twisted, and awesome so i enjoyed this film.

    Superior sequel to Hostel with even more nastiness than the first film. Look out for a cameo appearance by giallo queen Edwige Fenech.
  • October 25, 2009
    The beginning was just such a big surprise. It really threw me off. Not at all what I was expecting.

    BOTTOM LINE: One of the worst movies ever made.

    Is it possible to give a film 0 stars on Flixster? If so, then that's what I'm giving "Hostel: Part II," which is one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life. There is no reason at all that you should subject yourself t...( read more)o watching this piece of shit. It's akin to me cutting my wrists in public. I don't see how anybody would like this movie in any form or fashion unless they're some sicko who enjoys watching a young, sweet girl getting her throat cut open like a pig. If you enjoy something like that, seek professional help immediately. "HELL NO."

    Critics who agree:
    Scott Bowles, USA Today: "The filmmakers behind the "Saw" franchise must love to see a movie like Hostel: Part II. Compared to this Eli Roth fetish video, the "Saw" films are Oscar bait. 1 star."

    Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: "The moviemaking is driven only by contempt; he (Roth) wants to nauseate us into submission. 1 star."

    Aaron Hillis, Premiere: "Fails in what amounts to its only distinct purpose: to smugly push the envelope of depravity farther than anyone else. 1 star."

    Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: "You live in a free country, you put up with crud like Hostel Part II. It truly is crud, though. 0 stars."

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

    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.
