We find the kill/torture genre type of films finding their way into the minds of more people these days ever since the Tobe Hooper film Texas Chainsaw Massacre came on the scene nearly 25 years ago.ĭon't get me wrong, I'm not knocking the genre, however, it seems to me that more directors are overshooting the terror just to get an extra ooh, ugh, ouch, oh no, or jolt from the viewer.

HOSTEL THE MOVIE DIRECTOR SERIAL
Interesting premise and some bloody scenes interesting twist to the plot the only real flaw to this is the premise that the only people who engage in such savagery are the rich - you should see some of the documentaries about serial killers they weren't rich and did far worse things to infinitely greater numbers of victims. One is hung by her heels and cut open in a scene reminiscent of Elizabeth Bathory another is strapped into a chair and has her face sliced open with a circular saw the third is set up for murder, but it seems that she is so rich that "she could buy Slovakia" so she turns the table and becomes one of the patrons of the death spa. One by one, the women are abducted and given to their torturers for death. Just some editorialization - now to the plot.Ī group of young female Americans embark on a tour of Europe on the train they meet thieves and boorish men, but when they arrive in this country town in Slovakia (their tourist board should sue), they are greeted with friendship and the local f estival.Īs it turns out, this local town is run by a local "mafia" who sell rich folk the right to kill people for fun.

HOSTEL THE MOVIE DIRECTOR SERIES
In the good old days, when there was a series of films around the same character or premise, they would have distinct titles (e.g. "Rocky" and "Rocky 26") is that the writers/directors/producers don't seem to have much imagination. The only thing that bothers me about such sequels (e.g.
This is marketed as a sequel to the film "Hostel " I did not see the other film but saw some of the clips as I switched between channels on cable. In fact, HOSTEL II may stand as the most glaring example of the MPAA's bias in favor of violence over sexuality when it comes the boundary between R and NC-17. Astute horror fans will find a few amusing in-jokes among the carnage, but beware-things get incredibly strong, and Roth's charnelhouse chic intends to offend. For those who embraced HOSTEL's abrupt tonal shifts and very realistic gore, Roth serves up amplified doses of both in his follow-up. After Beth and Whitney are won by type-A American corporate jerk Todd (Richard Burgi), who believes that killing someone will give him power, and his reluctant associate, Stuart (Roger Bart), the film shifts to the preparations for their inaugural slayings within the bloody walls of the warehouse. Once the girls are put up on the auction block, online bidding begins among the club's members-who are revealed to be prominent international businesspeople. After tussling with a gaggle of shifty men on a train, they meet Axelle (Vera Jordanova), a gorgeous woman who persuades them to follow her to a rejuvenating spa in Slovakia.As the trio checks into the same infamous hostel, Roth shows us the inner workings of the previously mysterious torture club. The sequel begins right where that film left off, filling us in on the whereabouts of lone survivor Paxton (Jay Hernandez)-but before long, we see that gender roles are reversed and we are traveling with sensible Beth (Lauren German), hedonistic Whitney (Bijou Phillips), and virginal Lorna (Heather Matarazzo).
