Critic Reviews

Marc Savlov

Director Roth has accomplished the near impossible with Hostel: Part II: He's crafted a vastly superior sequel to a film already considered something of a classic by genre aficionados, one that supersedes its predecessor's sadistic entertainment quotient by orders of magnitude while also upstaging its own outrageous gore effects with a script that's smart, vicious, and occasionally, gleefully subversive.

Scott Tobias

It's also, in its sick, sick way, a real crowd-pleaser. Read full review

Michael Rechtshaffen

Roth has managed the rare feat of actually improving on the original. Read full review

Peter Hartlaub

Basically torture porn. Read full review

Empire Simon Crook

Roth's slick shock-'em-up sequel is a dispiritingly traditional splat of gristly Grand Guignol. It's tooled up to outrage, but ultimately numbs rather than grips. Read full review

Kyle Smith

A suspenseless rehash. Read full review

Michael Phillips

You live in a free country, you put up with crud like Hostel Part II. It truly is crud, though. Read full review

More like 'Hostel: Part BRILLIANT'. I love all of Eli Roth's films and this was no exception. Two thumbs up. The script was as sharp as the knives featured in the film's notorious knife cutting scene (the scene where the people get cut with the knives). I laughed and cried and screamedMore like 'Hostel: Part BRILLIANT'. I love all of Eli Roth's films and this was no exception. Two thumbs up. The script was as sharp as the knives featured in the film's notorious knife cutting scene (the scene where the people get cut with the knives). I laughed and cried and screamed because it was also scary as well as funny and sad. And Who can forget the scene with the bit where they rent out a room in the titular hostel. When I remember this scene I still get shivers, I was like, 'Don't rent that room in that hostel!' but then they rent the room in the hostel and its like, 'here we go again!' I regard Hostel 2 as Roth's best (controversial) but then again, I regard all his films as the best (gotcha!). A must see.

Better than the first as this time 'round we start to learn more about this sick and twisted company. The characters are also just that little bit more likable and you're definitely rooting for those that make it to the end. It's rather gruesome so its not for those with a weak stomach, butBetter than the first as this time 'round we start to learn more about this sick and twisted company. The characters are also just that little bit more likable and you're definitely rooting for those that make it to the end. It's rather gruesome so its not for those with a weak stomach, but Horror fans will be all the more used to it and should enjoy it. It's rare for a sequel to surpass the original so I'm glad it did, and any fans of the first should be pleased with where this one goes.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Three American college students studying abroad are lured to a Slovakian hostel by a beautiful European girl, where they are being sold to the highest bidder who will torture and kill them any way he likes.

So it's the same as the first Hostel, but this time around with girls instead of boys? Not really, in this second instalment there is more explaining about how the organisation works.

This time we also follow two American business men, who look like just normal guys but who decide to join the elite hunting club and get some killing done. This makes for an interesting insight in the other side of the story.

Hostel II has some beautiful girls of course, there is the wonderful Vera Jordanova from Finland and the feisty Lauren German. She actually succeeds in escaping the hell hole in Slovakia.

There is blood and gore a plenty in this movie, but there's also humor just like in the first movie which makes it a lot more bearable. And the story and acting are not bad at all.

I like the first Hostel a little better because of its originality and spooky atmosphere, although it had a very slow start and the bit in Amsterdam was not very well made. There is also another sequel made, Hostel III, but I don't recommend that one at all.

I rate Hostel: Part II 8 out of 10.… Expand

Urrggghhh!!! This movie was more like hokey Cabin Fever than the original. While it has the best torture scene of the two films, it really isn't a torture movie at all (very little happens in the way of torture???). I mean what if you went to see a cannibal movie and there is barely Urrggghhh!!! This movie was more like hokey Cabin Fever than the original. While it has the best torture scene of the two films, it really isn't a torture movie at all (very little happens in the way of torture???). I mean what if you went to see a cannibal movie and there is barely any cannibalism? I thought that was the hope Eli Roth offered with the first Hostel: a return to horror movie form. This was more like a revenge movie with bit of gore thrown in here and there. I wasn't bored by this movie, but I wasn't thrilled when I left the theatre either. Too bad.… Expand

I know this is supposed to be a horror movie, but Why isn't it scary? The part leading up to the inevitable scenes at the factory where they murder people are pretty boring. Although, I must admit there's a decent (I'm being generous) plot twist towards the end. I also want I know this is supposed to be a horror movie, but Why isn't it scary?

What a piece of garbage no suspense no nothing. The killings were boring. The first was definitely better.
