When it was released in 2005, it was highly regarded, especially in the horror community. Lately, Hostel seems to have lost the respect it once received in the public eye. I rate Hostel: Part II 8 out of 10.Today marks the 10th anniversary of the release of Eli Roth’s now infamous film Hostel.

There is also another sequel made, Hostel III, but I don't recommend that one at all.

I like the first Hostel a little better because of its originality and spooky atmosphere, although it had a very slow start and the bit in Amsterdam was not very well made. And the story and acting are not bad at all. There is blood and gore a plenty in this movie, but there's also humor just like in the first movie which makes it a lot more bearable. She actually succeeds in escaping the hell hole in Slovakia. Hostel II has some beautiful girls of course, there is the wonderful Vera Jordanova from Finland and the feisty Lauren German. This makes for an interesting insight in the other side of the story. This time we also follow two American business men, who look like just normal guys but who decide to join the elite hunting club and get some killing done. So it's the same as the first Hostel, but this time around with girls instead of boys? Not really, in this second instalment there is more explaining about how the organisation works. Three American college students studying abroad are lured to a Slovakian hostel by a beautiful European girl, where they are being sold to the highest bidder who will torture and kill them any way he likes.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 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!). And Who can forget the scene with the bit where they rent out a room in the titular hostel. I laughed and cried and screamed because it was also scary as well as funny and sad. 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 love all of Eli Roth's films and this was no exception. I laughed and cried and screamed More like 'Hostel: Part BRILLIANT'.
