Hostel: Part II
It took me awhile to watch the first Hostel knowing exactly what was in store. After seeing it I was relieved to find out that it wasn't as horrible as I had thought it would be. I'm a bit ashamed admitting to be scared of a horror movie considering what a huge fan I am of the genre. But at the same time I want to see these kind've films to see what limits have been pushed. It's new territory for me. It's not so much gore that bothers me.. but it's the possibility that this could actually be happening and it's fuckin terrifying to think if i were to be caught in that situation. I sympathized with the male victims in the first Hostel and took great satisfaction in the end when one of the best revenge scenes in film took place. The plot kept going and it wasn't a mindless slash-fest that I thought it would be. From the reviews I've read it seems like the viewer is more inclined to sympathize with the victims this time around because they're all harmless girls. What's fucked up is that part of the story is told from the killer's perspective depicting them as average joe's. If I were to go into the movie right now i'd come off bias against the killers because I think they're fuckin twisted individuals. But knowing Eli Roth he has probably created a way to actually relate to them. A lot of people are saying Hostel II is better than the first one so I'm pretty excited about that. And the dude who got away in the first move is supposed to be in it as well. One thing is for sure... I don't ever plan on going to Slovakia!
