![]() ![]() This story is told not only from the victims' point of view, but from the killers as well. The story is a huge improvement: in Hostel 1, I mentioned how it would be better to see more of the psyche of the killers. The whole point of movies like this are to gross you out, and this one does that and more. Here, we see a naked woman bathe in another woman's blood, and we witness a man's genitals being cut off. ![]() ![]() The sequel is bloodier and far more disturbing than the last. While Hostel: Part II isn't as thrilling as its predecessor, its got a story that's a hell of a lot better. But Hostel: Part 2 is just stupid, self indulgent, repetitive and boring and almost completely free of any redeeming features. His best film Cabin Fever had it's strong points but it also suffered in various places. Roth has yet to make one feature that is remotely adequate. All that does is make it that much more boring and predictable. The first half is completely boring but worst of all it looks like a remake as opposed to a sequel because there are countless amounts of scenes that look extremely familiar. The film takes half of it's running time to complete the set up and get to the gore, and although there's slightly more gore than the first one it doesn't add up to much. I was hoping that Hostel: Part II would correct the flaws of the first one which to be honest could have been fairly straight forward. ![]() But recently he's gone cynical on us and has started wasting his time on making stupid Hostel movies that honestly had no reason to exist in the first place. A long time ago when Roth made his debut with Cabin Fever I thought he had some real directorial talent. Not only did this unnecessary sequel fail to live up to my low expectations but it turned out to be something a lot worse than I had planned for. Since I have a bit of a soft spot for Eli Roth despite a few of his dissapointing ventures in the past I had to give Hostel: Part II a chance at redeeeming him as a horror film maker. ![]()
