"I have Smints! Would you like a Smint?"

Why is horror always better when girls are involved? In this case, girls getting their own back on men, well that happens later on in the movie.

Hostel: Part II does what Part I didn't: it actually concentrates on gore and horror. Where the first movie shows full frontal nudity of a porn-like nature, part two cuts most of that out and just gives gore fans what they want.

What's especially good here is that it doesn't just start a completely different story with brand new characters. It picks up right where the first film left off with Paxton, although it swiftly finishes off in the first 10 minutes and we get introduced to the new characters. Part II follows three female college students who enter a hostel in Slovakia and are effectively bought by external bidders to be tortured and killed, much like in Part !.

Realistically, Hostel: Part II is essentially more of the same from Part I apart from this time, it's with women. It's gritty and creepy most of the time and because of the weak and vulnerable stereotype of women in film, you really find yourself being scared and anxious for the girls. Especially Lorna in her death scene. Ouch.

Considering this movie didn't make even close to as much as the first, it's a pretty enjoyable torture flick and the ending is far better. I would even dare to say that this is almost as good as the first. Definitely not for the squeamish though.
