Review of Hostel: Part II (2007) by James R — 19 Jul 2010

Back to the mindless torture and violence to share in the blood filled journey of the sadistic killers are we?

Hostel Part II starts out simple like the first film, and stays simple for way too long. 45 Minutes in and still nothing has happend, the entire audience knows what's going to happen but Eli Roth's poor direction doesn't know how to do it. I will give it some credit for the blantently boring bathroom scene though, for some reason directors today seem to think that adding some blood will splatter the storyline in other directions.

A simple synopsis of Hostel would be this. Holiday goers and travellers going through Europe to have mindless sex is where it starts and finishes. The only real thing I loved about this film was the kids from the first film, I cracked up with laughter when I saw them enter the screen.

The 80's had Friday the 13th, the 90's had remakes and I guess we're stuck with the Saw & Hostel generation.

So what will it be... Buy or Rent? ...Rent, you'll probably find this on a cheap supermarket shelf somewhere... Either that or the black market.

If your into this type of torture then hell yeah watch it, but if your like me and want your horror movies to have some ACTUAL storyline then dont bother.
