Review of Hostel: Part II (2007) by Rolandz — 24 Oct 2007
Although I hate to align myself with the mentally inert who won't accept the role of violence in art, I cannot give the thumbs up to Hostel Part 2. Hostel Part 1 has an element of comedy that doesn't really stick around for the sequel.
It's seriousness certainly tortures your suspension of belief and never really manages to make much of statement. The look into the bad man running the hostel only serves to kill the tension further until you're left with a shortcut ending disguised as a twist and a bad feeling in the pit of your stomach.
Bonus points to Heather Matarazzo and Roger Bart, who ground the movie in some semblance of emotional truth. I'm a huge Eli Roth fan and always will be, Hostel Part 2 was just never meant to be.
