Review of Hostel: Part II (2007) by Kyle P — 28 Apr 2010

Stupid. Eli Roth's movies are becoming consistently more and more terrible. Cabin Fever was alright, nothing horrible, but definitely not good. Then came the first Hostel, again, not the worst thing ever made, but no doubt worse than Fever. And now this, Hostel: Part II, this movie made me sick, and not for the reasons you might think. the same rehashing of Roth's typical unlikable characters that we've seen since Cabin Fever. Torture porn, and, surprisingly, lackluster and boring kills (with the exception of one).

I would say that the 2 stars that I gave this film come solely because of the "bath tub kill" which is one of the better kills I've seen in a long time. If you've seen the film you know what I'm talking about.

Roth's writing is atrocious and offensive with all of the characters in all of his films calling things "gay" and having really stupid dialogue. All of his characters are extremely unlikable because all they are interested in is partying and getting laid. Because of this, when the characters start dying off you have no reason to care, which basically makes the entire movie pointless.

All-in-all I hate this film, and I hate Eli Roth. I feel like he is one of the worst directors out there and all of his films are extremely unlikable and thoroughly unenjoyable.
