Franco-23 Review of Hostel: Part II

Hostel: Part II (2007)

Just hope to see "Hostel III" soon! *spoilers*

[8/10 · 21 October 2007]

I think "Hostel" and "Hostel II" are both very good films in this gender. I congratulate Eli Roth and Tarantino. The shots are impeccable, the locations are well selected, the protagonists are good, as is the sound, etc. There are few little details that I would have used less in the sequel -like the gang of gypsy street kids- but all in all I think the selection of scenes was ideal. I definitely hope we'll have at least "Hostel III", there is plenty of material and the story remains wide open for some new twists: *spoilers* - First, there is Beth -the survivor- who has now committed two crimes herself and is now an ACTIVE member of the club (great psychological material) - Then there is Sasha -the boss- whose role could be extended - Also the guy at the front desk could be offered a more active participation in the sequel -let's say he's been sort of promoted ... - Some Slovakians from part II would make interesting casual victims (like the fat one who hits and delivers Lorna and the other guy that seduced the blonde one) - The main "products" offered through the internet in the new story could perfectly be from several nationalities. (I know there's an American issue going on -specially in Europe- but for these clients' twisted minds there should be more incentives, other than origin and nationality... similar to what happened to Stuart who just wanted somebody who resembled his wife). What about some British paying to get some adrenaline with french or Spanish meat or vice-versa? I could keep going... Count me in for the sequel!
