A tight-fisted slow burn that whacks you in face with two or three really horrifying sequences.

Eli Roth's Hostel: Part II is an authentic real-world creep show -- better, if anything, than its predecessor.
June 12, 2007
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?

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.

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.

Both 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.

There's a keen intelligence behind all that gleeful degradation and it pays off in a finish that's at once ironic, satirical, and perversely satisfying.
