Three female college students take a detour from their partying, enticed by a beautiful European woman who promises seclusion, safety and maybe even romance. What they get is a living hell where they are sold to the highest bidder whose fondest wish is to kill them slowly. Hostel 2 also follows 2 American men who, on the flip side of the coin, are willing to pay to join an exclusive club where a life will end at their hands...any way they like. It's a story of human monsters and the almighty dollar as only Eli Roth could tell it.Written by

(at around 1h 5 mins) Eli Roth's severed head can be seen amongst others. However, Quentin Tarantino's head is not in any scenes (Roth notes in the commentary on the DVD that the person he used is often confused as Tarantino, but it is not him). See more »
Goofs
(at around 6 mins) When Paxton dreams of the hospital in the beginning, the police officer tells him of a man that was murdered "in Vienna". Actually, the station in which the "Elite Hunting" boss is murdered in Hostel appears to be a German one (the signs in that station are only used by the Deutsche Bundesbahn in Germany). See more »

Much like it's predecessor "Hostel 2" starts out in Eurpope where three art students are drawn to Slovakia, but their trip isn't all just fun in the sun. The girls soon meet their fate when they arrive at the hellacious hostel where people are taken to a remote facility to be tortured and killed by the highest bidder. Roth does a decent job picking up where he left off, sad thing is the first wasn't GOOD! There are no new tricks here and nothing Roth hasn't already attempted before, sure the gore is halfway decent but it fails to capture anything near scary. Truthfully there is no point at all in this crummy sequel the people haven't gotten too much smarter and the gore isn't a tad gorier, and don't even think once about jumping because Eli doesn't even get around to building the gumption to thrill. Not with all the other directions he can go. Overall forgettable, do yourself a favor and rent a classic horror movie where the director attempted at least ONCE to scare. **
