Review of Hostel: Part II (2007) by Alex R — 23 Nov 2012
Sequel to Hostel, Hostel 2 is pretty much the same film as the first one except that it's less uninspired, instead of being Guys back packing in Europe; it's Women who are the victims. The only decent scene that had genuine terror is when the rich business men, place bids on their potential victims, I thought that was well done, but as far the film goes, it fails to live up to effective standards of horror, and ultimately is just the same film as the first except they switched the characters around.
Hostel 2 is a failure and I think that it should have gone straight to DVD, because really this is one bad sequel and doesn't offer anything new to add to the story of the first one. Hostel: Part II simply doesn't work and I thought the film was pretty boring to be honest.
This sequel was very predictable and if you've seen the first film, then you'll know how this one will turn out. This is a poor sequel and one that really isn't worth watching. Though the first Hostel was good, this one was terrible.
I don't see why they bothered making the same film twice. I think the filmmakers could've at least tried a little harder than this to create a decent sequel. However this is not the case. If you're looking for a horror film with originality, then skip on this sequel.
This film is far from original, and it's a mess from start to finish. However if you're looking for a film that lacks anything original, then this is the film for you. However, stick with the original.
This one was simply awful.
