It blundered the handling of the survivor from the original and the torture scenes just weren't as effective.<br /><br />But the peek behind the curtain of the organization was pretty cool.Grey @ thedarkhourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03419926349085842390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981940971905366365.post-6797424571630073722010-08-30T18:29:31.347-07:002010-08-30T18:29:31.347-07:00Yeah this one didnt seem as intense as the origina...Yeah this one didnt seem as intense as the original.Plus the old switcheroo was lame.the jaded viewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06187249754406306760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981940971905366365.post-78598243802740249372010-08-29T10:57:25.546-07:002010-08-29T10:57:25.546-07:00Am I going to have to be the one to say I hated th...Am I going to have to be the one to say I hated the sequel? Love the first film, but felt this one took itself waaay to seriously, and I absolutely dreaded the female cast. I couldn't relate to a single one of them, and felt the guys did a far greater job in the original. Roth's style admittedly improved here, and the split storyline and revelation of the inner workings of the club worked on many levels, I just never cared about any of the girls and found there performances to be very staged.

She gets treated like shit in Welcome to the Dollhouse, in Devil's Advocate she's torn apart on the stand, and now Hostel II! :( Aw.Sadakohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01164802394129505587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981940971905366365.post-35555795008913840902010-08-28T14:19:43.500-07:002010-08-28T14:19:43.500-07:00Andrew, I haven't seen Welcome to the Dollhous...Andrew, I haven't seen Welcome to the Dollhouse, but it was definitely the most grueling scene of the film!<br /><br />Chris, I agree that Hostel 2 definitely loses a lot of the horror in exchange for more details. At least, we get more dark humor though too.<br /><br />Astro, I think it's a great sequel too! A lot of people really do prefer this one that I've ran into, which is kind of interesting.B-Movie Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09301865641232633502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981940971905366365.post-61515965158813654172010-08-27T11:10:08.280-07:002010-08-27T11:10:08.280-07:00Eli Roth did a good job.Eli Roth did a good job.Nick Sayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847401542140680363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981940971905366365.post-91714084699682175992010-08-26T21:57:34.183-07:002010-08-26T21:57:34.183-07:00I haven't yet seen part 2, great review!!

I was pleasantly surprised by the audacity and sheer horror "yeah, right" zaniness of the beginning wrap-up to the original, and thought this second one was a well-played twist on the first idea.

The more I found out about the inner workings of the organisation, the less frightening it became. Beth's character is pretty cool though.Chris Reganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175026345423194092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981940971905366365.post-20658865387639163082010-08-26T01:56:24.955-07:002010-08-26T01:56:24.955-07:00It was, admittedly, a bit uncomfortable for me to ...It was, admittedly, a bit uncomfortable for me to see the girl from Welcome to the Dollhouse suffer such a fate....Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13517857978576422454noreply@blogger.com
