Three
beautiful college students are tricked
into staying in a hostel down in
Slovakia, Italy in which a roast festival
is occuring as all of them are having a
good time.
One of them by the name of Whitney
(Heather Matarazzo) is charmed by a man
named Roman (Roman Janecka) to go
cruising on his boat and when one of the
women named Beth (Lauren German) tells
her not to leave with anyone suspecting
that something is dangerous happening at
their Hostel but leaves with him anyways.
Then she's kidnapped and tortured to
death by a woman named Axelle (Vera
Jordanova) while being hung upside down
on a chain.
Beth discovers that her other fellow
students have been missing and tries to
escape from some of the people there who
try to kidnap her too as she discovers
that her hostel is run by people who like
to rape, torture murder and one of them
even slowly eats the residents there but
seems to get a hold of one of them whom
she met earlier there named Stuart (Roger
Bart) using him as bait in order to
escape.
There's good
socialising with Beth, Lorna, Whitney and Stephanie socialising. Another good moment with the four of
them being surrounded by a group of
children and then Lorna offering some candy and then one of them spits in
her face which almost leaves that jumping
moment occurring.
There's many good shots on the four
enjoying themselves during a roast party
showing some dances as well as people in
costumes dancing around. During this
moment there's a good discussion between Beth having a serious discussion with Lorna on not leaving the area with her
acting silly about it.
We spot a good shot on Beth running through some people in big
costumes while trying to call for her
friend that went on a boat.
We have a good scene between Lorna with Roman on land talking pleasantly
talking to him while there's good close
up shots on this dude taking some
spikes and a chain which looked horror
like as well as her having a sack over
her head and then being tormented with
him pushing her in some water and
whacking her in the head as it looked
totally brutal.
There's a good close up shot on her being
hung and gagged with her crying as well
as shots on Roman pulling her
in and kissing her forehead making it
totally twisted.
There's a nice artsy shot on Axelle lying on a waterless
jacuzzi using a blade with good shots on
the blade touching Roman feeling her all over as well as torturing
her to death plus a good shot on Axelle rubbing the blood all over her.
We spot some good shots on Beth staring in a room with both Roman and a big guard trying to corner Lorna at her resort along with great shots on
her running in the forest and falling
down. Plus, we have good shots on the
children running towards her like an
army and whacking her with sticks.
We spot a good moment with Todd bullying a hooker with an electric saw and
nice moments on her sobbing.
There's a good moment with Whitney sobbing tied up with Mrs. Bathory talking to
her evilly although she tries to come
across pleasant along with a nice vicious
shot on Whitney biting her face
and then running away with great shots on
her running in the dark corridors with
metal doors closing each path she tries
to get away along with a good shot on
german shepherds and then a shot on her
crying and falling down.
There's good discussion between Stuart and Beth showing
good intensity with her tied up and
gagged when he gets demanding and
aggressive thinking she's his missing
wife.
There's a good moment with Beth turning the tables on him by tying him up
and torturing him to get some information
from him as well as her pointing a gun at
the people lead by Sasha trying to keep her hostage with her
offering to pay him to escape.
Bottom line is that although not as good as the original at the same time it just
showed more class I found like with the
revenge scene's and more detailed moments
with the people as suspects at the party
seeming normal and almost too normal
which is a perfect touch for a horror
plot. It's hard to watch imagining some of the
victims being killed slowly as the
torture looked believeably painful in
perverted ways too. It was just as
psychological as the first one. Watch the ending as it was one of the
best moments ever throughout the story
making you want to see a part 3. Still I'm not a fan of this one but I
loved the mystery on the characters in
the film which made me cringe as it
looked like a mafia gone berserk.
The acting is very
well done as lead actress Lauren
German (Beth) shows great energy with her
role along with her running around,
crying intensely and her vengeful
attitude to top it all off. She was a
true character actress. she
shows great tense anger while doing torturing someone to get some answers quarter way into the story.
Roger Bart (Stuart) really showed a nice
calmness to his part which he brought it
across by acting mysterious and a
possible suspect for one of the maniacs
in Italy. He really brought out his
insane attitude later on as well.
Heather Matarazzo (Lorna) had a nice dweeby
type of look to her and seemed to act
that way but her energy was a little low
when she expressed her frightened
emotions on screen. Oh well.
Richard Burji (Todd) really brought out his
evil and bully like attitude onto the
screen by taunting his victims before
killing them in which he portayed this
incredibly well along with being
obnoxious too and losing his mond at
times.
Vera Jordanova (Axelle) showed a nice
wickedness to her part and knew how to
behave evil in an artsy like fashion. It
was good to have a female become one of
the killers in the film and she seemed
like a total she-devil throughout the
flick.

There's terrific dark
sounds with some thumping and strong horn
and violin music too composed by
Nathan Barr who did the same for the
first film along with having different
sound effects too for the moments like at
the Italian parties with the music going
on there making it sound very realistic.
Bubblegum
Gang Leader: Bitches!
Beth:
I'm not your wife. She doesn't understand
you. I do, and I see how you're strong.
Stuart: I am strong. I am fucking
