a piece of art!! and one of the best genrefilms of the last decade..


In my opinion "Hostel part 2" was one of the best Genrefilms of the last decade.

Eli Roth, has done such a great job here. And i really respect him after he directed and wrote this film.
The cinematography was amazing, the script was interesting, the cast did a great job, without any exception. It got intellectual issues to think about and the most impressive thing in this film was the esthetics. That was to me, the biggest difference to the first one, wich was a solid film. Part 2 is much more a Artfilm then anything else.
What i also like about this film, is that "Roth" takes his time for character development. And he did a fantastic job here. Its really an important issue in the genre. At least...it should be important!
The sad thing is, that many critics give this movie no chance, because they are to ignorant. You hear braindead argument "torture porn" over and over again.

When this film is so much more than that!!

9/10

I agree with you, and rated it 10/10 (and 7/10 first part).

There was absolutely nothing intelligent about this film. Ps. Why did you put quotes around Roth's name?

"a piece of art"? Come on. You gotta be kidding! If you go in for this sort of thing, fine. But using the label "art" is just plain ridiculous.

I love horror movies and I haven't used that phrase for any of them. They're horror, and while entertaining, enjoyable, scary and well written, etc. I can't call them "art".

Art is subjective.
