Hostel: Part II LOVED IT *****(Five Stars)

Standing ovation to writer / director Eli Roth for being able to truly capture and dominate the horror genre.  He has truly proven that he is a sick mind.  This movie was truly fantastic, entirely grosse, and all together incredible.  So disgusting in fact that several of the audience members from this screening got up and left holding their mouths, eyez or stomachs.  This movie was ridiculously disgusting and gruesome and yet to be completely honest several of the acts of violence scenes were filtered or blocked for your protection.  (Probably to prevent an NC-17) rating, however there is no shortage of blood or guts.

If you missed the first chapter don't worry, it is easy to understand and follow having missed it, for they do explain what you missed for those too afraid to see the first one but want to sign up for this ride.  They have just enough of the re-occurring actors for it to be a sequel.  However in this chapter is an all new story.  In this tale for example they tightened security at the factory especially after Paxton (Jay Hernandez) escaped in part one.

I would have to say part two tops part one in disgusting, and raises you and oh my god, Why?  However, I will admit that part one may have been a bit more scary because you had no idea what was going on or why it was happening.  In this chapter they take the time to explain everything, the when, the where, and the why.   Yet knowing that it is coming could be just as scary.

Much like the first one this story starts off with the lure -- how they trick the American tourists into changing their plans to go visit to this Hostel.    In this tale we meet Beth (Lauren German), Whitney (Bijou Phillips), and Lorna (Heather Matarazzo.)  Three very different girls on a European getaway. 

I'm not here to give you a spoiler of what is happening, however I will tell you I did not guess what was going to happen, at all.  In fact I was truly shocked, with he curve ball they threw at you.   I was shocked, in fact I don't think I have been in a theatre where everyone screamed so loud, both out of disgust, and shock.

If you are a fan of horror, slasher movies you must go see this film and you must go see it now.  Hostel II is nothing short of amazing, and disgusting, and pointless,  and ridiculous.    Go See it, if your stomach can handle it.
