Hostel: Part II

When Beth is first captured, the gun held by the business man is a single-stack.

45 ACP 1911 pistol (evidenced by the magazine at the bottom of the weapon).

A few seconds later, when the children are lined up, the gun becomes a Beretta with a standard barrel.

A few seconds later, when the silencer is attached, the gun magically has an extended threaded barrel (to allow attachment of the silencer).

The silencer that was used obviously screwed on, which would not attach to a standard factory barrel.

While Lorna is suspended upside down her feet are clearly being held by thick cuffs designed for suspending a person in this way, however when a close up of her feet is shown she is supposed to be bound by some thin rough looking rope.

This obviously would not have been possible to film with the actress actually hanging by such a thin rope as the weight of the human body hung by the ankles in this way would have caused injury to the actress.

When Stuart reluctantly gets his tattoo, they show him sitting down and pulling up his left sleeve in the mirror with his right hand.

The camera angle then changes and he's pulling up his right sleeve with his left hand and his left sleeve down.

When the Hostel owners are shopping around for another buyer for Whitney after part of her head is cut up, an older man is torturing the young man who Whitney was trying to screw.

After the old man cuts a piece of his leg off, as the boy is struggling and shaking, you can see that the fake lower leg is shaking independently of the body.

Obviously the actor has his lower half concealed in the table.

In the bathtub scene, Lorna is hanging too high for Mrs.

Bathory to reach her since she is lying down.

When Beth has her throat slit, you can clearly see the blue tube carrying fake blood, Just prior to it being cut.

When Paxton dreams of the hospital in the beginning, the police officer tells him of a man that was murdered "in Vienna".

Actually, the station in which the 'Elite Hunting' boss is murdered in 'Hostel' appears to be a German one (the signs in that station are only used by the Deutsche Bundesbahn in Germany).

After the girls check into the Hostel, the clerk takes their passports, and e-mails the details to various bidders.

However, the pictures all show the girls smiling; standard passport rules do not allow smiling or other facial expressions.

In the Bathory-esque scene Lorna is hanging upside down.

When Ms.

Bathory, who is laying in the tub, first starts slashing Lorna with the scythe, Lorna's back is to Ms.

Bathory.

Then, when Ms.

Bathory picks up the smaller scythe, in the next shot Lorna is suddenly shown facing Ms.

Bathory as she slits her throat.

OK, I had to think long and hard about how to review this sequel. This movie gave me mixed feelings.

Far better acting than the first film. Same story but with female tourists .

While Hostel: Part II is very much alike to the first one, there's one main difference. After the first movie people know what is going on.

Three female American college students find themselves the unwitting targets of a Slovakian hostel that's the front for an evil business in which decadent and depraved wealthy people pay top dollar for the privilege of torturing and murdering innocent folks who are specifically abducted to serve as fodder for the clients.Writer/director Eli Roth's sequel to his savagely effective original alas not only gets bogged down in both hackneyed horror tropes like an opening which turns out to be just a bad dream and a grindingly predictable narrative trajectory complete with a final girl who's clearly signposted for survival from the get-go, but also further suffers from a crippling dearth of much-needed tension and creepy atmosphere.

So with the first Hostel comes Hostel: Part II which this time sees 3 women getting lured into the torturing/killing organisation for rich people.3 women detour to a festival but find they've been sold off to be tortured & killed by rich people who pay a high sum to do just that.

Hostel Part 2 is a very bad film. This film is a rehash of the first one, but instead they are women.

This was better than the first movie. And why I say that?

I'm so angry they let go the lead character from the first film in such a lame, unmemorable way. I'm guessing they wanted to leave it open for a future movie, but they should have continued his storyline rather than simply rehashing the same scares.

Worth watching for the scene between Beth and Stuart in the room at the factory. Absolutely jaw dropping!
