Hostel II is a horror movie that bases itself on blood, gore and nudity and it fails on every level. It's a depressing mess and this film is a torture to watch and a horrible viewing experience.

Its story is almost irrelevant, its caracters are empty and repelling and its attempt to live up to the original is an utter failure

I thought it was pretty great and am mystified by the negative reviews (how on earth are the Saw films better in any single way!!!) Definitely not as gory or as relentless as the first, which I found refreshing. It has a well crafted script I thought it was pretty great and am mystified by the negative reviews (how on earth are the Saw films better in any single way!!!) Definitely not as gory or as relentless as the first, which I found refreshing. It has a well crafted script that takes a more objective look at the "elite hunting" club. I feel like many people made their minds up before watching and/or have some weird hate towards Eli Roth. It's probably not my favorite of his films, but it's probably his best written script and possibly his best directed.… Expand

"Hostel: Part II" is truly a horror film; that Eli Roth could manage to make filthier garbage than the first "Hostel" is genuinely frightening. Where the first film adhered to at least a few (not many) concepts of logic and structure, the "Hostel: Part II" is truly a horror film; that Eli Roth could manage to make filthier garbage than the first "Hostel" is genuinely frightening. Where the first film adhered to at least a few (not many) concepts of logic and structure, the sequel devolves into a putrid frenzy of child murder, flesh-eating animals, and endless dismemberment. Adding to the ludicrous nonsense is the fact that the film depicts children as monstrous maniacs who apparently enjoy murder and severed heads. "Hostel: Part II" is easily one of the worst films ever created.… Expand

I enjoyed the first movie but this movie was miserable. It was hyped up as being more sadistic, violent, and gory than the previous film and I don't think it was. I'm not sure if it was the hype that killed this movie or what. But I enjoyed the first movie but this movie was miserable. It was hyped up as being more sadistic, violent, and gory than the previous film and I don't think it was. I'm not sure if it was the hype that killed this movie or what. But it seemed like they threw a batch of new characters on the screen and let them just float through a movie which was horribly acted, un-suspenseful or scary. It was mostly laughable and the effect/make-up once again were not anything special. As for "the greatest ending ever" I felt like it was a thrown together ending because Roth couldn't figure out any one other way to get himself out of the mess he was in and he thought it'd be funny, which it wasn't. But I will say the ending was very Eli Roth.… Expand

I only went in to see this movie because I had to kill some time while my car was getting worked on. The only other movies were kids movies.

The only other movies were kids movies. I sat there thinking "first of all, what type of person actually WANTS to see nude women tortured and murdered, and then, what type of sick twist WANTS to actually MAKE a movie where nude women get tortured and murdered?". Worst of all, Eli Roth the "director" actually creates a scene where a man shoots a small boy in the head. NOT because ihe makes us want to hate the killer, [Roth seems to admire him] but because he simply wants the movie goer to watch a small boy get shot in the head. Roth is Pathetic and a hack of a director.… Expand

The problem is that we have seen all of this before, not only in the first hostel film, but in many many films before this. Eli is so unoriginal and his characters are so poorly developed that you dont care for a split second when they are murdered. Is this going to go on and on and on? Hollywood listen up...MAKE A SCARY MOVIE!! we got it already with saw, hills have eyes and wolf creek all examples of people torturing each other. clip,snip,cut, stab...boring! give us some movies with suspense and where we jump out of our seats and scream. How many more movies like this are we going to have to suffer through? Hostel part II : been there, done that YAWN… Expand

This was pretty disappointing. Now....I have not seen the first Hostel, but they do a great job of catching you up on the events in the first one at the start of this. Keeping in mind that I haven't seen the first Hostel, I didn't This was pretty disappointing. Now....I have not seen the first Hostel, but they do a great job of catching you up on the events in the first one at the start of this. Keeping in mind that I haven't seen the first Hostel, I didn't really expect anything going into this, but was disappointed anyway. The pacing for this movie seems to be all over the map. Director Eli Roth spends what seems like forever before we get to the first death. The movie is pretty interesting at first but after a while, it starts to get tedious and boring. When we finally get to the first capture and death...eventually people start getting captured, but it's just not worth the wait, and basically, that first death is the only one until nearly the end of the movie. I feel pretty dirty saying it, but there's a reason people go to these movies; to see graphic deaths and gore. Hostel Part II does not deliver. Any of the 3 Saw movies has more gore and suspense than this movie. Most of the deaths take place off screen. Which, again, makes me wonder what Eli Roth thought people were going to see this movie for; the scenery? This is my first Eli Roth film, and I'm a little disappointed to see that he just doesn't seem to be able to set a mood. There's no suspense whatsoever. Women are tortured but for whatever reason, there's no tension. You see a movie like Wolf Creek (where women are similarly victims to a sick person torturing them,) and there's an intensity to the scenes in that movie that Hostel Part II lacks. Roth also has a habit of winking at his audience way too often. There's so much sly humor thrown in to the movie that at times, it felt like a parody of itself. This is most evident during the scene right before the credits roll. This movie seems to make no effort to scare us or to take itself seriously. Eli Roth's direction also seems pretty bland, with none of the energetic style of the Saw films. The plot also lost me at times. It felt like there were scenes missing from the movie. Characters seem to do things with no motive or explanation. An important character is suddenly seen being eaten. This scene is never explained to the audience. A character whose acting nice suddenly seems to "snap" for no apparent reason, and a kid is killed; why? I don't know. Unfortunately, despite a pretty good start, Hostel II fails to deliver what was promised. There's lots of deaths taking place off screen, the movie takes forever to get to the point, and there's just not much to enjoy when it finally does get there. The "shocking ending" turns out NOT to be a plot twist, but a very graphic scene involving [spoiler deleted]...which may have felt more shocking if I hadn't already seen [spoiler deleted]. I've got to admit, I'm not the biggest "splatter film" fan, but when I do go to a splatter film, I expect there to be lots of...splatter. There just wasn't. And the plot wasn't interesting, the pacing was slow, the movie doesn't seem to take itself seriously...so why should we take it seriously? Not recommended.… Expand

Beyond terrible. Tarantino and Roth can go to Hades. If you gave this film more than a 2, then you should not reproduce or interact in society in anyway.

I conclude that indeed Hostel is a failure in terms of history, after the failure of the first in the explanations he hoped that in the second were given some explanations about how things work / happen. But however and much to the dismay of all who saw the first explanations were not given any more. At the end of the two there is only a supposed sequel to a third movie, which leaves us waiting for more, but unfortunately I know in advance that there won't be a third movie, which makes both Hostel and Hostel 2 a big flop film.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If I had to describe this movie in one word, it would be "trashy". Part 2 is almost exactly the same as the first movie, except the three guys are replaced with three women (one is hot off the set of the Princess Diaries), and the gore is so much more gratuitous. There is absolutely no tension or suspense in the movie, mostly because we've seen it all before in the first one. I guess what we're supposed to be scared of is a woman taking a bath in blood and a man getting his penis ripped off. The "protagonists" are so boring that I seriously thought that there were only two girls and not four, and the acting is absolutely horrendous. Where the first one had legitimate suspense and a sort of Wes Craven type vibe to it, this one is just... trashy. "Hostel: Part II" is possibly one of the worst movies I have ever seen.… Expand

A worthless and totally uninteresting sequel to a film that shouldn't exist in the first place. Lumbering, tension-free, insomnia-curing monkey poop from start to end. Eli Roth is completely without a shred of talent, skill or decency.

A much sharper critique of American wealth at work in the wider world than most critics give Roth credit for.

Excellent film although not as good as the original, torture scenes were not long enough. This could have been one of his best but it seemed rushed and the ending was a bit of a let down.
