The Hostel Part 2

Last night, after a light dinner at friend’s house, we eagerly got back home to watch “Hostel Part 2″. I and my wife were anticipating a good horror flick since the first Hostel was not bad.

To say we were disappointed would be an understatement. Director Eli Roth really let me down on this movie. “Cabin Fever” and the fist “Hostel” were not bad but he truly seems to have lost it with “Hostel 2″.

The film opens where it left off in the first part and we meet Jay Hernandez’s character Paxton who was “ok” in the first Hostel but gave a very plastic performance in this one. I did not much see the point of the prologue and the very obvious “scare” that was hastily thrown in.

The lead female characters were all quite silly and the chain of events that lead them to the hostel were poorly conceived and shot. Eli Roth seemed to have put in scares and shocks just for the sake with no real conviction in the story telling.

Al the scares were quite obvious and the supposedly creepy American killers played by Roger Bart and Richard Burgi were shallow we do not understand why each of them acted the way they did towards the end of the film.

The worst scene of the film has got to be the one involving the main villain with a gun and some children. I could not understand why the scene was thrown in.

The music was bad (by Nathan Barr), there were no scores and overall quite a bad horror film.
