    Its story is almost irrelevant, its caracters are empty and repelling and its attempt to live up to the original is an utter failure

    I thought it was pretty great and am mystified by the negative reviews (how on earth are the Saw films better in any single way!!!) Definitely not as gory or as relentless as the first, which I found refreshing. It has a well crafted script that takes a more objective look at the "elite hunting" club. I feel like many people made their minds up before watching and/or have some weird hate towards Eli Roth. It's probably not my favorite of his films, but it's probably his best written script and possibly his best directed. Full Review »
  3. As I always do, I saw this sequel (two) after the first film to follow the story without me forget any detail. I conclude that indeed Hostel is a failure in terms of history, after the failure of the first in the explanations he hoped that in the second were given some explanations about how things work / happen. But however and much to the dismay of all who saw the first explanations were not given any more. At the end of the two there is only a supposed sequel to a third movie, which leaves us waiting for more, but unfortunately I know in advance that there won't be a third movie, which makes both Hostel and Hostel 2 a big flop film.
