Hostel - Part II Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

Would you like a smint ?

I was absolutely wowwed when I saw the first one, Saw with a proper story and couldn't wait for this emerge in cinemas. I liked this one better than the first as it (for me) had quite a comical side and particularly found the scene of Axelle's fate highly amusing. The film seemlessly clipped in with the first and didn't take long to get gory.

However, this didn't last, and the pace quickly slowed (a bit of a quick fix for Hostel 1 fans). The rate of the movie was disappointingly slow to begin with and after a while a was wondering when it was actually going to get to the nitty gritty.

Nevertheless, what follows made it all well worth the wait. I loved this film so much I had to return to the cinema with friends, and the 'build-up' was necessary and my opinion changed and it's probably made my all-time top 10. Some very convincing acting from all involved make this truly believable (you never know!!).

I think this film is definitely better second time round. Nostrovia!

No where near the first film

You always expect sequels to have more than the first - more money more action and in the case of these films more gore and nudity.

Unfortunatly this sequel has less of everything. Where the first film pushed new boundaries with its torture scenes this film shys away from showing the gore in all its glory - I was very dissapointed after seeing the very good original film.

Where Saw has managed to step it up with each sequel Hostel has failed.
