Hostel: Part II


(2007) ***1/2

Better than the first one, more blood and torture, no silly porn. There are two actresses that get on my nerves, the way one is so sentimental and poetic with feelings, the other that is annoying and screams like a tiny ankle-biting dog. The ending to this film makes me very satisfied. I enjoy revenge endings. I also like how the movie is made from the victim's and the torturers views.
This time, it's Beth, Lorna, and Whitney, three American college girls studying overseas, that get lured to a "spa getaway" after their nights of partying. The other side of the movie shows Stuart and Todd who won the bid on these girls and get ready to go to the Slovakia city to do whatever they want to them.Three girls on the right heard about the beautiful spa from the model on the left."What's wrong? Why are you screaming?""Countess Bathory"...well, almost.

I liked the second one much better as well.

I loved them both equally although the revenge in part 1 can't be topped. He literally got back at every single person who wronged him along the way for Chrissakes!

JPX sent me a depressing article about Hostel 3 - an upcoming direct to video affair that Eli Roth had nothing to do with. *sigh*

Hostel got to me the way Martyrs seems to have gotten to everyone else. Really creeped me out, and continues to do so. This one pulled its punch, somehow. At least for me.
