Hostel Part II (2007) 7/10

Starring : Lauren German, Roger Bart, Heather Matarazzo, Bijou Phillips, Richard Burgi, Vera Jordanova, Jay Hernandez, Jordan Ladd
Director : Eli Roth
Running Time : 93 mins

When three American art students are persuaded to visit Slovakia, they find themselves staying at a sinister hostel through which they are sold to a group called Elite Hunting for the express purpose of being tortured and killed for the highest bidders’ pleasure. Meanwhile, two American men travel to Slovakia as the winners who get to torture the girls…

I wasn’t expecting much from this, after all it’s a rushed sequel, but it wasn’t that bad. Granted, at first it feels like they’re just rehashing the original movie with female victims instead of male, but by giving us a perspective from the murderers points of view this becomes a much more individual movie.

You’ll like this if you liked : Saw III
