Hostel Part II [Blu-ray] [2007] [Region Free]

Bought this as a replacement after mine got scratched. Plays as it should. Great film and fast delivery

Love the hostel movies

This 2007 horror slasher seemingly starts where number one left off -but it's not necessary to see that first. Paxton [Jay Hernandez] awakes in a hospital bed and tells his tale then realises they are all part of the hunting club. Awakening from his nightmare he tells his girlfriend they are not safe. The action then switches to Rome, where 3 American girls strike up an acquaintance with a female model and are referred to a spa resort. Following a similar path to the first this leaves us with the thought of which one will get out alive: the nerd, the frivolous fun-lover or the level headed one.Although we know the plot [from the first movie] and the first disappearance is late in coming, the atmosphere of this film is more intense and sinister than the first. This also has the added twist of developing the character depth of the monied killers whilst illustrating that for the procurers it's simply business. This makes the participants more `real' and 3 dimensional, which means that although there is less gore here than no.1, when it comes we identify with the characters more readily which adds to the intensity.The disc opens to a anti piracy ad, then goes to main menu offering play, Audio [English or Italian], subtitles [English with or without commentary, on/off], scene selection, special features [commentaries, deleted scenes, gag reel etc] and trailers for 3 other movies.I have no problem giving this a **** but the violence is quite unsettling. Anyone want to play football?

Having enjoyed the gratuitous gore and flesh-fest that was Hostel I and having some time to myself for the next couple of weeks, what better way to spend it than by revisiting the Hostel series and going for Part II, I thought. I had read some of the reviews in the negative sense and thought that people were just being too squeamish, too judgmental and too sanctimonious. I suppose it was wrong of me, on this occasion, to think the opinions of the masses were irrelevant to me.So the two things that I wanted more of on this occasion, were the gore, which I thought was blissfully no-holds-barred in Hostel one, and the girl element, which was shamelessly enjoyable. In fact, so far-reaching was it in the first film that for the first 30 minutes I thought someone had slipped a porn disc into the box instead. But Hostel II has far less flesh on offer, less gore, less suspense, less... everything.The first 30 mins or so of the film chart the journey of a group of girls to a hostel lured there by another girl who's a life model, drawing victims out of her classes for carriage over to Slovakia. The girl travellers check into a hostel and you know how it goes from there: they get auctioned, sold off and then used to their clients' whims. There is then an interesting change from the first film in that Hostell II follows the activities of two buyers from remote sale to being in the same room as the girls. One buyer chickens out from dishing out the torture and the other goes for his life. However, from this point on I found it increasingly hard to care. In the first film people, the victims are just treated as lumps of meat [as are the girls who solicit them]: the whole film is about the carnal disposable nature of flesh. However, in Hostel II Roth tries to inject a bit of personality and emotion into it by trying to get us to feel sorry for one of the girls. In short, we don't. We want her offed just like the little victim she is, we don't want to see glassy-eyed close-ups of her snivelling face. I won't go into detail, but sufficed to say she ends up getting the better of the situation, not the other way round.Overall I felt the gore element was pulled punch in the film. The only exception to this is the scene where a female client bathes in the blood of a victim - Bathory-esque - after slitting her throat, but after this, things get a little tamer and my interest fleeted.If you are coming to watch a film like this you must be expecting all-out insensibility on every level, and Hostel II just doesn't deliver, all the elements that were there in Hostel I are still there but just much less so. Or maybe I'm becoming too desensitised these days. The only upside was that I only paid £2 for the DVD [which was a dud so I had to end up watching it online anyway].

I just happened on this movie and was pleasantly surprised that the normal cliches weren't there. It did make me feel there was a case for mothers and fathers to lock up their daughters for fear of over adventurous teenagers travelling with too little sense of danger by predatory men.I thought the whole production was well done, although the horrendous killing centre was very dark, made more so by the dark Eastern European men. Since I'm not a great fan of horror and actuality thought this was watchable, Ian not sure how useful my review would be to true horror fans

Seen it before but still good

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Der Versand ging sehr schnell.Der Film ist uncut und mit deutscher Sprache.Der zweite Teil,ist eine gute Fortsetzung,lohnt sich zuschauen.Fans vom ersten Teil,sollten sich den nicht entgehen lassen:-)Der dritte Teil ist dann leider nicht mehr so gut.

Oui ca va

A mio avviso il film migliore di Eli Roth. Ok, è una replica del primo capitolo ma l'operazione è diretta con grande classe. Ovviamente tanto sadismo, molto sangue ma anche un certo gusto nel citare i classici dell'horror all'italiana e non solo per i camei di vere e proprie legende come la Fenech e Deodato. Buono il blu-ray ed interessanti i contenuti extra.
