Review of Hostel: Part II (2007) by Sarah M — 10 Oct 2014

Decent plot ruined by excessive goriness.

Hostel II starts quite well: good background set up, decent plot. There was even some semblance of character depth and development. The three girls were quite likable and relatable.

However, having seen Hostel, you know where the movie is going. It does take a while to get there, which is good, as it builds the tension and makes you think you are in for something substantial.

This is all in vain, however, as once the blood starts flowing it is a matter of Eli Roth trying to out-gore any previous gore-movies. Heaps of gratuitous blood and gore, trying to gross the audience out. The plot becomes quite silly and implausible.

But I guess most people aren't watching this for the plot...
