Synopsis:
The plot focuses around 3 American college students - Beth (Lauren German), her best friend Whitney (Bijou Phillips), and the sweet Lorna (Heather Matarazzo) who are studying art in Rome for the Summer and plan on going to Prague to explore Europe. However, they cross paths with the mysterious Axelle (Vera Jordanova), a beautiful model from their art class who somehow convinces them to skip their journey to Prague and head to Slovakia where they can relax and enjoy the country. Soon they find a hostel for the weekend and it seems like everything is going to be great, but little do they know that staying at a hostel was the biggest mistake in their lives, and that they are going to pay the price in the worst possible way.

I liked this movie for it's gory, morbid and sadistic nature.
Although much of the violence takes place off camera, where your imagination is set to run wild to the screams of the mutilated, the story goes for a dark psychological approach. It is fast-paced and really not for the easily shocked or easily disgusted.
But what I really liked about this movie is the unexpected twist in the later part of the story. I really never expected that twist but it really worked for me. :)
P.S.: The actress who plays Beth in the movie kinda looks like KC (Concepcion). ;) -
MCT:August 4, 2008Once again I have to say, when your first movie sucks, why in the world would you assume making a part 2 would be a good idea??? Take your money you made, consider yourself lucky as hell and bury your head in the sand, don't produce more b.s.

MCT:August 3, 2008Great movie,the gore factor does not freak me out but it disturbs me to think that this "could" be happening in real life.

MCT:August 2, 2008Awful, predictable and disgusting. Hostel was bearable but this really over stepped the mark. Who would pay money to watch this? Only a sadist.
This was almost exactly the same as the first one. Silly and ignorant travellers stupidly get lured into going to Slovakia and check in at THE hostel. Where ultimately they get sliced up and tortured. No wait... there IS one character with a brain cell who saves herself from getting chainsawed or whatever and ultimately turns into Buffy the Vampire slayer, weilding axes and killing those who tricked her into it.
Weak acting (They killed off the only okay actor after 4 minutes), poor plot and bad direction. Avoid at all costs. -

What can I say? I enjoyed the first one, and I enjoyed this one just as much! The Bathory scene was a nice touch, and this outing seemed a bit more tempered with humor. Nothing quite like a good castration to make any man squirm. Certainly not groundbreaking in any way, but a fun gorno nonetheless.

I hate to admit I liked this because I am incensed at the overhyping of Eli Roth.
This movie was obviously done by committee, and is thusly better than the first. The first one suffered gigantic pacing and screenplay problems, the likes of which would be disappointing for an intentional B movie, in addition to being 13 million miles from the benchmark gore piece it was hailed as.
But to get on to this movie, it is a tightly edited rendition of a new wave exploitation flick with characters we can actually emote for, and a storyline that actually matches our investment in the characters. I think in today's world, gore is about real quality AND innovation, as in "this is the first time someone was shown being killed that way, and really well too" or "that's a really good version of an archetypal ubergore kill scene". I like our main character, I can believe that she and her friends are real people. I also get a tremendous sense of the psychology of the two American clients. Combining these two factors, the conclusion is a great culmination of my emotional and intellectual investment. And it's funny at just the right times, and not funny but genuinely scary (this didn't happen in the first movie) during some crucial scenes.
A nice gorefest; if you can tolerate that oxymoronic summation, then you may like this movie. -
MCT:July 27, 2008Excellent movie. It was cool now that they showed how they do the bidding for each person. The ending was really awesome and twisted. She chopped the guys dick and balls off. Ending was great. Awesome movie.

The first one was way better. the dude from the first one was way too easy to kill. it made no sense after his big escape.i do like how the chick buys her way out.

Not sure I can bring myself to see this, in light of the first movie. It's kind of like watching a train wreck happen, you can't look away. If viewers take anything away from this picture, I hope it's the realization that what this movie depicts is innocent people being tortured, medieval style with hand tools and in some cases power tools. Do not confuse this methodology with how Americans interrogate battlefield detainees. Loud music and blindfolds are not and have never been torture.

They go into the business of the 'company' far more in this movie. However, it becomes too wishy washy towards the end, more like a happy ending than a horror movie finish. Good though

MCT:July 20, 2008About half as good as the first one, which was hardly a masterpiece. Hostel Part II goes to show that for all his filmic knowledge and enthusiasm, Eli Roth just can't direct very well.
Though Roth may well have intended this film to be a comedy-horror, parts were just so lame as to be utterly ridiculous. The 'dream' sequence at the beginning which serves as prologue is a cheap trick which doesn't work: a dream sequence is fine, but it only works if once it's revealed that it's all in the character's head it can work on its own internal logic. But why would Paxton dream of police speaking fluently and accurately in a language he doesn't understand? I'm getting hung up on a small scene, but it's indicative of a larger problem. The 'auction' part was just a step too far - suspension of disbelief is completely gone at this point - and I could really have done without seeing naked Heather Matarazzo.
The film basically works as an almost exact remake of the first but with three women replacing three men as the leads. One of the most interesting aspects of the first film was that the torture subjects were *male* for a change, and that the expected 'final girl' is killed in the second act, but there's precious surprises here and the promised 'behind the scenes' of how the murder ring is operated fail to be chilling, and just end up plain risible. Eli Roth can't even stage the killings effectively - if you thought the death by car in the first film was poorly shot then that's nothing to some of the stuff in this one - and any opportunities for scares are squandered by poor framing and obvious music cues.
Workmanlike.
P.S. The Pulp Fiction 'cameo' pissed me off too.

MCT:July 14, 2008This sequel was pretty much like the first movie except instead of Guys it was Girls who were the victims. Eli Roth will probably only make one more movie before he takes a break.

After watching this movie, i wanted to scratch the DVD so nobody else had to sit through that torture. The first one at least offered hunky man meat to watch and it was kind of funny, this one had nothing to offer.
-
MCT:July 13, 2008I have very low expectations for this film, as it reverses exactly what I liked about the first one and instead goes for torturing women.
-
MCT:July 12, 2008
Nowhere near as good as the first film and the close up of the guy getting his balls ripped of made me cringe.
-

I didn't like it as much as the first one. But it's still a lot of gore and scenes hat makes you want to turn away. The ending was a surprise. Nice twist.

MCT:June 21, 2008
Hmmmm! the first one was a bit over the top and disgusting but then again I knew it would be. It did have a story line and the effects were good. May give it a go when I have a chance.

After seeing the first one and, well, hating the hell out of it, I have to ask my self how stupid I am to even have bothered with the second.
Essentially, its the same thing as the first one except its women being brutally killed this time. Where the first one uses a small bit of intelligence with male dominance (the chainsaw as an erection on the first poster anyone?) you'd think they'd try and play on that a little more... but who are we kidding, these movies aren't intelligent at all.
It tries to become off as popular with shocking audiences, but uh, I think we should be shocked to why anyone would even want to watch 2 hours of this garbage.

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.
