Movie Info
Three American students studying art in Rome are drawn into a grim world of torture and suffering in director Eli Roth's blackly comic sequel to the horror hit that shocked the world. Beth (Lauren German), Whitney (Bijou Phillips), and Lorna (Heather Matarazzo) have ventured outside of their stateside surroundings in order to get a more worldly appreciation of the arts. But sketching nudes all day can take its toll on even the most talented artist, and when class is over the three girls jump at

Roth's dark humor and lacerating view of human weakness sometimes suggest George Romero; what he lacks is Romero's stubborn belief in personal morality.
Top CriticBoth nubile females and alpha-male douche bags are on the receiving end of pain (that's supposed to nullify accusations of misogyny, is it?), but really, we're all the victims here.
Eli Roth's Hostel: Part II is an authentic real-world creep show -- better, if anything, than its predecessor.
The movie is almost totally devoid of suspense, which is one of the marks of a true exploitation film. Why waste time with a bunch of false scares and tension, when you can go straight to the pain and suffering?
Hostel: Part II offers more hard-core horror and an even more outspoken message [than the first].
Ends up there is a moral to the story, one sure to delight the bamboozled pseudo-intellectuals who laughably defended Hostel as a geo-political critique of American arrogance and the culture of torture.
Gory torture bloodbath checks in for another stay.
There are some grisly deaths gore hounds would approve of, but the focus is more on the motives of the murderous pervs and the inner workings of the snuff corporation.
Poseur callousness all the way
Filmmaker Eli Roth tries to enliven the formula, but this sequel loses the grim surprise of the original without adding much new in terms of plotting or gory set pieces.
This second film definitely shows Roth's absolute courage as a director. He didn't pull any punches with this follow up.
The lasting effect of all three of Eli Roth's films is a certain kind of Grand Guignol "Punk'D", in which the "mark" is not only embarrassed, he's also cut to pieces.
Roth não é apenas um sujeito doente e repulsivo, mas também um picareta sem talento que usa seus filmes para torturar o espectador como num de seus "albergues".
In the end, one comes to the conclusion that Roth, like his mentor Quentin Tarantino, is someone who is very good at talking the talk but can't quite bring himself to walk the walk and himself make the kind of film his own are parasitic upon.
Roth's satire of fright junkie male castration fears and feminist castration fantasies, mandates that you're going to have to have your cock and eat it too, whether consumed live during elegant dining to the sound of opera, or by killer canine pets.
Just a sub-par and obscenely overrated piece of lazy horror filmmaking...
Hostel, Part II is bad, but it's not the most objectionable torture porno by any conceivable yardstick.
Sadly, the director's proven creative finesse has given way to boring self-imitation. Hostel: Part II gives us the same premise as the first film, changing genders and little else.
Oh, do grow up.
One may as well watch a marathon of American beheadings at the hands of Iraqi insurgents with popcorn in hand - the entertainment value is surprisingly comparable.
Picking up where the first film ended, writer-director Roth adds two angles to his formula, but neither is enough to make this grisly film worth watching.
...marks a substantial leap forward in terms of [Eli Roth's] directorial abilities.
It is pretty boring. But then the gore is even worse to watch.
Unlike the original's many imitators, this follow-up at least tempers its atrocities with satirical humour.
Hostel: Part II does succumb to mere ghoulishness in the last-reel bloodbath, but up to that point its moral tension feels horribly persuasive.
Audience Reviews for Hostel: Part II

Since I have a bit of a soft spot for Eli Roth despite a few of his dissapointing ventures in the past I had to give Hostel: Part II a chance at redeeeming him as a horror film maker. Not only did this unnecessary sequel fail to live up to my low expectations but it turned out to be something a lot worse than I had planned for. A long time ago when Roth made his debut with Cabin Fever I thought he had some real directorial talent. But recently he's gone cynical on us and has started wasting his time on making stupid Hostel movies that honestly had no reason to exist in the first place. I was hoping that Hostel: Part II would correct the flaws of the first one which to be honest could have been fairly straight forward. The film takes half of it's running time to complete the set up and get to the gore, and although there's slightly more gore than the first one it doesn't add up to much. The first half is completely boring but worst of all it looks like a remake as opposed to a sequel because there are countless amounts of scenes that look extremely familiar. All that does is make it that much more boring and predictable. Roth has yet to make one feature that is remotely adequate. His best film Cabin Fever had it's strong points but it also suffered in various places. Hostel inherited the same problem. But Hostel: Part 2 is just stupid, self indulgent, repetitive and boring and almost completely free of any redeeming features.
