Basically like the first hostel. Young college students from the U.S. are backpacking through Europe and get lured to a hostel in Slovakia by a beautiful woman. The difference is this time it’s beautiful, rich young women who get lured. Rich business men bid on the right to come torture and kill these victims.
This film spends a lot more time on characterizations, where the first one didn’t. you actually get to know the characters both victims and killers and see why they are all doing what they are doing. You actually feel sorry for the girls as they get tortured and killed because you get to know them a little. Of course, you never feel sorry for the bad guys, but you come to more understanding of why some of them want to torture and kill people.
Of course as always there is one who escapes and it is really cool to watch. I don’t want to give away too much, so I won’t tell you that. But you feel victorious with the character when they escape and of course you know they will need a lot of therapy when they get home.
If you like blood, guts and gore, this one is for you. If you are sensitive about people getting tortured and killed, don’t watch it, you will get sick to your stomach. Definitely a good slasher flick.
Additional Thoughts:
This movie definitely makes you think, is this really going on? Are there people who sell the rights to kill people who are traveling? Are we safe anywhere? Maybe when traveling we should stick to the beaten path and not stray to parts unknown, don’t take anything from strangers, and you never know what kind of weirdo freaks you might be meeting. Be careful, there is a lot of this kind of thing going on in the world. We’ve all heard on the news about women getting sold into slavery, prostitution, or killing rings. It does happen. Use caution and good sense when traveling or online or even out in the world. Don’t go with strangers. If you really want to meet someone, meet them in public, bring some friends.
