Review of Hostel: Part II (2007) by Acidworm — 05 Jul 2022

A marginal improvement over the first, but still not saying much. The characters are slightly less annoying than the ones in the first film, and they give you more insight this time around with the group that is behind the killings.

Some of the scenes of violence with torture felt less disturbing than the first one. They certainly toned down the goriness, sometimes opting to do the violence off camera. They also toned down the sex and nudity.

There was very little suspense or buildup. The ending involved some instant character transformations that made zero sense, and I thought some scenes had been cut from the movie. Very jarring, and confusing.

It felt like they were trying too hard to have a Saw like twist at the end, but it was just poorly done. Seemed very rushed. Very little to no character development, and a pretty forgettable gore flick.
