DVD Talk review of Hostel II

Peed in their pool? Basement dwelling geeks? Dork patrol?
I think you need to take "giving deference" classes.
Seriously, if a reviewer adopts a "me against the world" attitude and resorts to name calling, this only serves to weaken whatever arguments he makes in favor of the film and I'm going to have a hard time taking said review seriously.
So, since I thought that Hostel was an incredibly mediocre horror film and I had absolutely no intention of seeing Hostel II, I now have even less inclination to see it. So, thanks for the review.

Therefore, a Highly Recommended rating will be offered, since it reflects his own personal opinion while giving deference to those with differing views.

Something keeps luring me to buy this dvd lol. I was a fan of the first one. It had a lot of originality to it. The 2nd one really was a huge letdown imo. Only good thing about it was it gave us a more in-depth look @ the elite hunting organization.
Other then that ehh i feel i may netflix it up. This type of movie will probably be released for $19.99. Not sure if there's any exclusives?? Doubt it since it was technically a bo-flop. I'm sure it will be on the 8.99 rack in less than a year. Anyone else feel the same way? lol And why is roth giving us another edition of hostel...Nothing has changed..eh good ol double dip.

It's nice to see someone that enjoyed Hostel 2 about as much as I did. I'm not saying it's a great film, but I really liked it. Maybe it's the unquenchable gorehound inside me but I thought the film was better than the first. The b.s. before the actual torture scenes was a lot better than the Eurotrip rehash of the first movie. I'll probably pick up this and the new Hostel: DC on Tues.
And for the poster who asked, the new DC of Hostel restores the originally planned ending for the film. I don't believe anything else was altered other than the ending. If you want to know what it is:

I loved the first one and was really dissapointed in the second one. However, I dod think people were being unfair with all the hatred for Part II. After hearing so many people trash the violence, I found it not really that bad.
