Hated the first one, but was intrigued by this one. The way AICN was going on about it you'd have thought it was the second coming!
Then the reviews came out and it sank without a trace. Probably for the best.

Another version of the original !!! How many is that now ?
The first one was a big letdown. The second was even worse.
Not interested.
I loved the first one but absolutely despised the sequel. I may need to consider the doubledip of the original but will avoid the sequel at all costs.
I liked the second one. I'll pick this up. Hopefully it's unrated.

Ha! I hated the first one with all my glory. We dont want more violent nonsense in the world that we live in.

Really bad - one to avoid.The first one with the eye make removal scene looked terrible - this is just as stupid and boring as the first.
I liked the original.
This sequel was a joke though, I've seen much better DTV movies.

I like the first one, i didn't saw the part 2 in theaters, i'll go buy the second one, maybe the director cut part 1 too. 
Watched the first one, didn't like it, so didn't bother with the second.
part 2 was so much better than the first one

umm... 2. it was only released once before.
Also... the first one was amazing. One of the best horror movies of the past decade. The second was definitely a letdown. It was trying too hard to explain everything. It made the whole thing less interesting.
For those who didn't like the original "Hostel", I guess you just don't like horror movies that you have to think about a little bit. Same goes for those who didn't like "The Descent", "The Host" or "High Tension".
I know there is this giant misconception that "Hostel" is a braindead "torture porn" movie, but it's really a whole lot smarter than any number of recent horror movies, most notably the "Saw" franchise.

so no unrated cut of the second hostel?? sounds fishy

was thinking the same thing! Will pick up the SE of part 1 though

Loved both of them. Will have to Double Dip on the original however.
First one scarred me it was so brutal. But I'm curious about the original ending in the Director's Cut. Never saw the sequel - I'll watch in the safety of my own home come October.
Didn't like this one at all. It was almost the same identical plot as Part I only with girls. I can't believe that Lions Gate and Screen Gems gave Eli Roth $10M bucks to make this, I didn't see any improvements in the production quality.

Awww, that's cute that you think Hostel was a smart movie, and not a heavy-handed piece of c**p that pales in comparison to the movies Eli Roth was homaging/ripping-off. What exactly did you have to "think" about, with Hostel? Besides thinking about the things that would have been more worth spending your money on.
And High Tension? It made me think as well...it made me think that it was a pretty kick-ass horror movie until one of the worst, most ill-conceived twists in movie history.

"Hostel" was pretty lame until the end. It was like Eurotrip Meets Saw or something. Once it finally got going, I enjoyed it, but it was too many filler scenes in that movie. Haven't seen the sequel yet.
I will agree "The Descent" was an excellent horror movie... "High Tension"? Not so much. It was very cliched. I've already seen the surprise John Cusack "Identity" ending so when I saw High Tension, I felt a bit ripped off.

What I find odd is that your handle is no doubt referencing a film by a filmmaker that can actually create something genuinely horrific and unsettling with subtlety, style and flair.
I get more chills from an Angelo Badalamenti music cue than I did from this entire piece of utterly useless garbage.

Bloody-Disgusting (www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/9504) are attaching "unrated" to their news story regarding Sony Home Entertainment's press release for "Hostel II" and has some more information on the extra features.
Yea we just have a lot of haters on here as far as I can tell.. Utter c**p blah blah utter garbage blah.. Thats all I hear. I enjoyed the original and while the second has its flaws I still had a fun time. All horror films are not made to scare you... Sometimes they are made for a quick adrenaline rush or in some cases a laugh..
Horror has changed alot recently and it is beginning to branch out. There is alot more to these films then what is at the surface if you even care to look. We all have our own opinions on the film however. So to each his own..

Wow... you think "Hostel" was smarter than "Saw"? Hostel had nothing to it until the last 15 minutes, and that time was not worth the wait. It was a boring, brutal film. Watch the first Saw again, and you'll see that there is a lot less straight-up gore. It's mostly blood splatters and remains. There is a great deal of suspense in Saw if you let there be; there is no attraction to Hostel unless you like gore and pointless nudity.

Both Saw and Hostel are no different. There is no suspense, there is no mastery in the filmmaking. They are both gore filled movies that rely on the "gross" factor to achieve what they think is horror. Saw is merely a shadow of the brilliant Se7en from Fincher. Hostel is just plain teen horror c**p. 1408 was a recent film that truly demonstrated suspense in its filmmaking. 1408 was also the best movie in the American horror genre to hit theaters in at least the past 5-7 years.

Hmm, i disgree slightly. "Saw" was pretty suspenseful. Not extremely great acting. And "Hostel"... Don't get me wrong. I thought it was decent. But it was dumb at the same time. Once it finally got started, I liked it, and it was suspenseful, but you had to wait through frequent drug/alcohol use, and sex scenes and partying to get to that. That stuff seemed so pointless to the movie.

The first one was horrible. A boring rip-off of EuroTrip for the first half, and finally it gets to the hostel where it throws the entire plot at you in less than a minute. Utter garbage.
The last 15 min were really good, and I love that last scene. Having been tortured enough whilst sitting through the first, I see no need or desire to sit through the sequel.
EDIT: LOL, I should've read through some of the other posts before posting my opinion. Glad I'm not the only one who thought this was a boring rip-off of EuroTrip in the beginning.
