Hostel Part II (2007) Review

Directed by now famous Eli Roth, and produced by Quentin Tarantino.

I seen the first one 1.5 years ago. There were a couple of scenes that were hard to watch. This one is pretty much the same as the first, though part II reveals that there is an actual organisation who sells young blood to old blood- we see that once the young are checked into their hotel, their passports are scanned, and their photos and information broadcasted to the organisation's website, whereby people will place live bids.

While both movies neither make for great cinema, etc, they're somewhat watchable. The kind of person who will enjoy Hostel parts I and II are people who will fast forward through the dialogue just to see the eye candy scenes. There are two of such scenes that make this movie somewhat worth watching just the once- the scene where the girl is strung up like a rabbit, and this woman comes in and butchers her with the same thing the grim reaper uses, bathing in her blood. The other scene is where a man is castrated (both cock n balls) and the meat thrown to a dog.

'we make movies like this so people can have something to relate to the anger they feel in real life.' I'd say this movie is mostly aimed at people aged 18~27 at college. It's not my type of film though, but I still reviewed it.

My rating: 5.7/10
