Wow! I lapped up every minute of this fine polished sequel to Eli Roth's raw and unnerving 'Hostel'. It ended quite abruptly and I just sat there with my mouth agape. I just wanted more and there are not many modern day horror films I can say that about.
The first 'Hostel' took me by surprise and I found it to be more compelling than I had anticipated. This second installment is equally enthralling and grabbed me by the......... well if you have seen this film you will know what I'm talking about.
Although bloody and sadistically violent; it is also darkly funny and populated with some of the strangest; menacing and unusual looking characters to grace the silver screen in quite some time. I felt I was in 'Argento' territory here during some of the sequences and this is most certainly not a bad thing at all. The design of the film was great, with some excellent cinematography and evocative music that all melded together to create an exciting; tense and dare I say entertaining movie experience. Not for the faint of heart—but it wasn't made for pussies!
