Critics Consensus

Offering up more of the familiar sadism and gore, Hostel: Part II will surely thrill horror fans.

Tim Grierson

Screen International

Filmmaker Eli Roth tries to enliven the formula, but this sequel loses the grim surprise of the original without adding much new in terms of plotting or gory set pieces.

Chicago Reader

Roth's dark humor and lacerating view of human weakness sometimes suggest George Romero; what he lacks is Romero's stubborn belief in personal morality.

Sadly, the director's proven creative finesse has given way to boring self-imitation. Hostel: Part II gives us the same premise as the first film, changing genders and little else.

Horror Queers Podcast

Unfairly written off as a cheap and misogynistic cash-grab when it's actually a feminist horror film with a smart, relatable and queer final girl.

Rated: 4.5/5

A tight-fisted slow burn that whacks you in face with two or three really horrifying sequences.

More of the same. Probably not as good as the first one. Significantly less nudity which was disappointing. I did like how the two movies connected one after the other though.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

***Spoiler alert ahead***In my opinion, this one has probably the most heartbreaking death scene, Lorna. The film is grisly and gory. I really didn't understand how Stuart went from a timid, scared man to a psycho in 3 seconds, I feel that aspect was a miss. Some good kills but Beth's ending was too strange and seemed like it didnt fit to me, although Lauren German was fantastic.

They buy these students visiting Rome and then do terrible things to them. The gore works, but there's no tension building and no good back stories that get you invested.

This horror sequel written and directed by Eli Roth follows three American female art students in Rome who are directed to a Slovak village where they are eventually kidnapped and taken to a facility in which rich clients pay to torture and kill other people. While not particularly inventive plot-wise, the sequel amplifies the brutality and offers a more unsettling look into the grotesque economy behind the bloodshed—giving viewers a glimpse into the mindset of the elite who pay for such horrors. The film is undeniably sadistic and not for the faint of heart, yet it earns some narrative points for its shocking twist and a finale that serves up a darkly satisfying dose of poetic justice. An average sequel with a few sharp barbs beneath all the gore.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

This is a terrible sequel, too Hollywood and too fake. The first was good because of unexpectancy .

People have spoken so highly of this film, but in the end it's just a satire of how banal life is and a social critique.
