Hostel: Part II

Synopsis: Three young Americans studying in Rome set off for a weekend trip when they run into a beautiful model from one of their art classes. Also on her way to an exotic destination, the gorgeous European invites the co-eds to come along, assuring them they will be able to relax and rejuvenate. Will the girls find the oasis they are looking for? Or are they poised to become victims for hire, pawns in the fantasies of the sick and privileged from around the world who secretly travel here to savor more grisly pursuits?

Review: Suppose to bring the gore genre to another level but this sequel is just a reversal of sexes of the prequel. Take out the guys and put in the girls, see them get tortured to death and the people involved try to cover up. Nothing fresh and shocking except for a classic scene - one of the torturers bathed in the blood of the tortured. Somehow I feel that why must they choose Slovakia for the exact destination, guess El Roth or Tarantino had a very bad Euro trip in Slovakia haha. Anyway, its pretty eerie to think that people living in other parts of the world would actually indulge in such hobbies, sic to the core. The film also kinda gives you second thoughts on backpacking haha, shivers. Apparently, someone was tortured to death in a remake of the scenes from this film in The Netherlands. On the whole, more gore or twist could be useful as its a sequel, so if you like such genres, you might want to check it out.
