Muy sangriento, muy inapropiado, deberían prohibir y eliminar esto en todo el mundo

I really enjoyed the first Hostel movie. It's more of a creepy movie rather than scary. I couldn't help but be a little curious where they would take the plot when I saw there was a sequel on Amazon's streaming service. The reviews were fairly positive so I gave it a watch. I'm just going to cut to the chase. This is a terrible movie. It's so bad that I realized about 40 minutes in that I had already seen it many years ago. Granted, I don't have the best memory in the world but seriously this movie is just that forgetable. I don't know what the hell happened but this movie is nothing at all like the first. There's no creepiness, no interesting developements...basically the script was absolutely terrible.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

A marginal improvement over the first, but still not saying much. The characters are slightly less annoying than the ones in the first film, and they give you more insight this time around with the group that is behind the killings. Some of the scenes of violence with torture felt less disturbing than the first one. They certainly toned down the goriness, sometimes opting to do the violence off camera. They also toned down the sex and nudity. There was very little suspense or buildup. The ending involved some instant character transformations that made zero sense, and I thought some scenes had been cut from the movie. Very jarring, and confusing. It felt like they were trying too hard to have a Saw like twist at the end, but it was just poorly done. Seemed very rushed. Very little to no character development, and a pretty forgettable gore flick.

Hostel 2 is better than the original. I didn't like the original. The only reason I saw this was because of Lauren German (famous for Lucifer). This part was more enjoyable and the story although almost same as first, was more detailed and properly paced. In this part, director's work was better. Not great, but better than the original. Like the original, this part also had problem with the music. Movie like this needs a good background music that helps to create spooky environment but sound team did nothing good to contribute in the movie. The cast and their performance was little bit better than the original cast. Overall, you can give it a try. You may enjoy it especially if you are a slasher fan.

Como secuela es bastante aceptable, la protagonista es muy audaz e inteligente en comparación del protagonista de la película anterior, no es tan entretenida como la primera, pero al menos aquí las cosas están mejor hechas en general que en la primera parte.

Hostel II is a horror movie that bases itself on blood, gore and nudity and it fails on every level. It's a depressing mess and this film is a torture to watch and a horrible viewing experience. It fails as a horror and even with all the gore it still fails. A crap, horrible, dull, rubbish, depressing and boring movie.

Another disapointing horror film sequel and I expected a lot better then this trash from Eli Roth.

Roth's revisiting of the Hostel concept follows largely the same outline as the original. However, Part II has more going for it than just a gender swap with the protagonists. Roth took the time focus more on the elements that worked in the first film, and less on the ones that didn't. He also ups the gore and violence while simultaneously giving us more insight as to how exactly the whole Hostel situation works. The scale is larger and things are a little more brutal this time around, but there's no hiding the fact that it's not as original and loses the mystery in favor of more visual horror. Think of it as more like a remake where some improvements were made. The fact that we know what's going on this time around should have robbed the movie of some of what made it successful the first time around. However, it's Roth's ability to the ante that keeps things solid. With more of torture taking place onscreen the movie goes for a more sleazy route in entertainment. The blood is gratuitous, the deaths are twisted, and the grimier visual style and environments is very reminiscent of the Saw series. Essentially Part II really embraces the "torture porn" angle. There is something kind of sick about that, but Roth keeps things from being too morally revolting by including some dark humor that helps keep things lighter and more playful. Because of that it never crosses into that realm of almost being a straight snuff film. I appreciated how this time around the humor was kept more around the gallows as opposed to the gutter. There's still nudity and some sex, but this is far from the raunchy sex comedy it's predecessor was. The girls are still up for a party, but their far less obnoxious that the frat bros we previously hung out with. It makes them more likable, even if the main is that perfect pretty girl who everything works out for no matter what the situation apparently. Leaner and meaner, Hostel proves worth revisiting in Part II. Roth trimmed the fat from the first movie and loves letting this sequel flex it's new muscles with some more violent scenes and a little more insight as to how the whole setup works. It's still a little bare bones in the actual plot department and some scenes are still a little slow, but at the end of the day this is still one of those rare movie sequels that's an actual improvement on the original. Something made possible because of how much more gruesome and to the point it is. Roth cut the crap and focused on the action. Now if only he could make something a little more substantial. The basic thrills are still worth something though. 7.5/10

This one had more gore, overall better acting and the characters were more likeable. Hostel part I was good but this one was a little bit more entertaining.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Where Hostel had an interesting narrative, Part 2 doesn't have any at all. It's very slow and takes forever to get anywhere and when it does, your just want to leave. Once again, besides some horrific scenes of torture/violence this isn't really a horror film.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

In short, a repetition of the first film. All I can say is, those who enjoyed the first film, or those who are hardcore horror fans, will probably find the film alright. I, on the other hand, did not.

There were some genuinely good horror scenes here but for the most part, It's exactly like the first film but with a female cast this time. It's watchable but not as original as the first film.

More like 'Hostel: Part BRILLIANT'. I love all of Eli Roth's films and this was no exception. Two thumbs up. The script was as sharp as the knives featured in the film's notorious knife cutting scene (the scene where the people get cut with the knives). I laughed and cried and screamed because it was also scary as well as funny and sad. And Who can forget the scene with the bit where they rent out a room in the titular hostel. When I remember this scene I still get shivers, I was like, 'Don't rent that room in that hostel!' but then they rent the room in the hostel and its like, 'here we go again!' I regard Hostel 2 as Roth's best (controversial) but then again, I regard all his films as the best (gotcha!). A must see. p.s F*ck trees.

Hostel: Part II leaves off at almost the exact point the first one ends and has an awesome opening scene. Last time it was the boys, this time the girls go on vacation. Once again I loved the gore and the scary story, however this ends quite differently from the first one, and too be honest I really didn't like what they did. If this is indeed just a continuation of the story of the hostel, then they could have done a lot better job closing it out. The rushed, lazy ending really left me with a bad taste in mouth. For the most part thou, Hostel: Part II is every bit as scary and disgusting as the first. If you liked the first one, you'll like this one too.

Better than the first as this time 'round we start to learn more about this sick and twisted company. The characters are also just that little bit more likable and you're definitely rooting for those that make it to the end. It's rather gruesome so its not for those with a weak stomach, but Horror fans will be all the more used to it and should enjoy it. It's rare for a sequel to surpass the original so I'm glad it did, and any fans of the first should be pleased with where this one goes.

nowhere near as good as the first, but nonetheless, it is still an insanely violent, horrifying, kinetic thrill ride, with a decent script and director behind it - samarathenymph xoxo (happy freakin' new year)

A worthless and totally uninteresting sequel to a film that shouldn't exist in the first place. Lumbering, tension-free, insomnia-curing monkey poop from start to end. Eli Roth is completely without a shred of talent, skill or decency.

The first Hostel was scary yet very interesting, Something we dont see often with films like it. However Hostel 2 fails to live up to it. A lot fewer scary moments in this film, The acting is average, and its pretty much exactly the same as the first film. We see it time and time again, The sequel never lives up to the first film and this proves it. Hostel 2 is just an average horror film imo.

Another disapointing horror film sequel and I expected a lot better then this trash from Eli Roth. The acting was below average at best and the effects ,will good, were no where near as graphic as the first film.

God this is a really bad movie, it is very excessive, bad acted, stupid and annoying, the movie has no sense, maybe the beginning can be mysterious and creepy, but then it turns stupid, but it still has some sexy scenes.

As I always do, I saw this sequel (two) after the first film to follow the story without me forget any detail. I conclude that indeed Hostel is a failure in terms of history, after the failure of the first in the explanations he hoped that in the second were given some explanations about how things work / happen. But however and much to the dismay of all who saw the first explanations were not given any more. At the end of the two there is only a supposed sequel to a third movie, which leaves us waiting for more, but unfortunately I know in advance that there won't be a third movie, which makes both Hostel and Hostel 2 a big flop film.

Sequel to the entertaining & wince-inducing Hostel. Three women backpackers this time instead of three men & are taken to Slovakia enticed by the wonderful spas & tranquility. After enjoying the first one, I expected this to be not so great. However, the side story with the two business men is very well done, albeit slightly predictable. Some excellent gore as expected, especially the part with Ruggero Deodato having his "dinner". Maybe not as shocking as the first but still entertaining in it's own way.

The critics need to learn how to have fun. This film is not a guilty pleasure for me but just one of my plain ol faves. The film is so greatly meshed with different genres that it keeps me interested each time i watch it. It is sinister, fun, stylish, and gory. I love it.
