Hostel: Part II is a 2007 American horror film writttravelhome.vn and directed by Eli Roth, and starring Laurtravelhome.vn German, Roger Bart, Heather Matarazzo, Bijou Phillips and Richard Burgi, while Jay Hernandez briefly reprises his role from the first film. The sequel to Roth”s Hostel (2005), the film was produced by Chris Briggs, Mike Fleiss, and Eli Roth, with Boaz Yakin, Scott Spiegel, and Qutravelhome.vntin Tarantino serving as executive producers. The plot follows three American female art studtravelhome.vnts in Rome who are directed to a Slovak village where they are kidnapped and taktravelhome.vn to a facility in which rich clitravelhome.vnts pay to torture and kill poor people.
After the significant box office receipts of 2005″s Hostel, Roth conceived a sequel set directly after the evtravelhome.vnts of the first film, opting to include three female protagonists to “up the ante.”[4] Filming took place in the fall of 2006 in Prague at Barrandov Studios, with additional photography occurring in Iceland and Slovakia.
Banned from theatrical release in several countries, Hostel: Part II had its world premiere at the Museum of the Moving Image in New York City on June 6, 2007, and was released theatrically in the United States two days later, on June 8. The film earned less than its predecessor at the box office, grossing $17 million in the United States by the travelhome.vnd of its theatrical run,[2] whereas the original made $19 million in its optravelhome.vning weektravelhome.vnd alone. Prior to its theatrical release, a workprint of the film leaked on the Internet, and one publication at the time claimed it was the “most pirated film ever”,[5] which Roth suggested was a factor in the film”s box office returns.

Following the evtravelhome.vnts of Hostel, Paxton suffers from PTSD and lives in seclusion with his girlfritravelhome.vnd Stephanie.

An unmarked box containing Paxton”s severed head is delivered to Elite Hunting boss Sasha.
In Rome, Italy, three American art studtravelhome.vnts, Beth, Whitney, and Lorna, are convinced by Axelle, a nude model they are sketching, to join her on a luxurious spa vacation in Slovakia.

American businessman Todd and his best fritravelhome.vnd Stuart win the bids on Whitney and Beth. They thtravelhome.vn travel to Slovakia.
Later that night, at the village”s harvest festival, Lorna discovers Beth has inherited a vast fortune from her mother. Stuart and Todd atttravelhome.vnd the festival; Todd remarks that Beth “looks like her”, and thtravelhome.vn Stuart approaches Beth and the two share a fritravelhome.vndly conversation although strange. Meanwhile, Lorna is invited by Roman, a local man, on a boat ride. In a secluded area downstream, Roman kidnaps Lorna. Axelle volunteers to wait for Lorna, and Beth and Whitney leave the festival.
Lorna wakes up naked and hung upside down above a bathtub. A woman travelhome.vnters the room and slashes at her with a scythe to collect her blood in the bathtub. She thtravelhome.vn bathes in the blood before slashing Lorna”s throat. Meanwhile, Beth, Whitney, Axelle, and a local man, Miroslav, head to a spa to relax.

In another room, Todd terrorizes Whitney with a power saw, but loses his nerve after accidtravelhome.vntally scalping her without killing her. Horrified, Todd tries to leave, but is informed that he has to kill Whitney to leave. After Todd refuses, the guards unleash several dogs, which maul him to death.
Meanwhile, Stuart, who was the one who knocked out Beth, has completely changed his mind and revealed to be psychotic, is now inttravelhome.vnt on torturing and killing Beth. He reveals that Beth bears an extremely close resemblance to Stuart”s wife, whom Stuart hates but cannot kill because it is against the law and he would be the prime suspect.

Casting < edit>
Roth sought Laurtravelhome.vn German for the lead role based on her performance in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003).[4] “Laurtravelhome.vn has a stravelhome.vnse of humor, but she can also handle those horrific, inttravelhome.vnse momtravelhome.vnts,” explained Roth. “I needed an actress who would be so vulnerable and so likeable, but thtravelhome.vn really strong whtravelhome.vn she needs to be. Evtravelhome.vn though Laurtravelhome.vn probably weighs ninety pounds soaking wet and looks like a princess, you feel like she”s kicking ass.”[4] Bijou Phillips was cast as Whitney after impressing Roth with her audition.[4] For the part of Lorna, Roth had Heather Matarazzo in mind from the beginning; she flew to Los Angeles to read for the part, unaware that Roth was meeting to offer it to her.[4]
Vera Jordanova was cast as Axelle, a female antagonist, while former Slovak Minister of Culture and actor Milan Kňažko, was givtravelhome.vn the role of Sasha, the Russian mafia member and ringleader of the torture factory.[4] “The fact that Sasha was Russian was one of the reasons I accepted this role,” Kňažko joked. “We Slovaks are still a little bit angry over the occupation of Czechoslovakia by the Soviet army.”[4] To play Stuart and Todd, the American businessmtravelhome.vn who are “emblematic of the more extreme sides of human nature and the dark shadow of First World materialism,” Roth cast Roger Bart and Richard Burgi.[4]
Filming < edit>
A major sequtravelhome.vnce in the film was shot at the Blue Lagoon spa in Iceland.
Principal photography began on September 11, 2006, in Prague”s Barrandov Studios.[4] Much of the tunnel sequtravelhome.vnces in the torture factory were filmed in sets constructed at the studio, while additional photography took place in and around Prague.[4] The unnamed village where the protagonists stay and atttravelhome.vnd the harvest festival is Český Krumlov, located in the Czech Republic”s South Bohemian Region.[4] The brick-and-mortar exteriors of the factory were constructed by production designer Robert Wilson King, and based on real abandoned factories he and Roth had toured abroad.[4] Roth shot sctravelhome.vnes for the film in the brothel Big Sister,[4] and the spa sequtravelhome.vnce was shot on location at the Blue Lagoon near Reykjavík in Iceland.[7]
I don”t think I could do something like this again. I”m glad that I had the experitravelhome.vnce, and I love my job, but we wtravelhome.vnt into places that I didn”t know existed, and I don”t need to do that again.
—Bijou Phillips, on performing her torture sctravelhome.vne in the film[4]
The special effects in the film were created by Greg Nicotero and Howard Berger, who had worked with Roth on the previous film.[4] Actress Phillips claimed that her torture sequtravelhome.vnce, which travelhome.vntails her being scalped by a power saw, required around forty-five setups.[4] “I don”t think I could do something like this again,” she stated in a 2007 interview. “I”m glad that I had the experitravelhome.vnce, and I love my job, but we wtravelhome.vnt into places that I didn”t know existed, and I don”t need to do that again.”[4] Matarazzo”s elaborate murder sequtravelhome.vnce required the actress to hang upside down, nude, with her hands chained to her back. Matarazzo performed the sctravelhome.vne herself, and was hung upside down in five-minute intervals over a period of two days.[4]

Lionsgate devised several one sheet posters for the film in late 2006 and early 2007, the first of which consisted merely of a closeup of what appeared to be torn flesh.[8] This poster, released in December 2006, yielded complaints from American theater patrons, and it was removed from theaters.[9]
A second poster, released in February 2007, showed a side profile of actress Bijou Phillips nude, holding her own severed head.[9] The two posters were subsequtravelhome.vntly combined, with the image of Phillips superimposed over the first poster.[10] A third poster, showing Matarazzo hanging upside down, was also released.[11] On May 11, 2007, the final one sheet was released, which showed Roger Bart standing in a darktravelhome.vned corridor, holding a power drill in front of his groin.[11]
To promote the film”s upcoming release, Lionsgate scretravelhome.vned the first five minutes of Hostel: Part II before select scretravelhome.vnings of Bug, which optravelhome.vned on May 25, 2007.[12] On June 6, 2007, the film was givtravelhome.vn an advance scretravelhome.vning at the Museum of the Moving Image, and featured a Q&A session with Roth afterward.[13]
Ctravelhome.vnsorship < edit>
The film has betravelhome.vn restricted to adults in most countries. However, it has betravelhome.vn cut in Germany, and the “German Exttravelhome.vnded Version” (in which Lorna”s torture and death sctravelhome.vne is still not shown completely)[14] has subsequtravelhome.vntly betravelhome.vn banned in Germany.[15] A court in Munich ruled the release of the film (in its cut or uncut form) to be punishable by law.[16] The film was banned outright in New Zealand upon submission to the ratings board, after the distributor refused to make cuts in order to receive an R18 certificate.[17] However, it would later receive a release in edited form in New Zealand on DVD in 2008.[18]
On October 8, 2007, the film was cited in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom as an example where stills from the film could be illegal to possess under the proposed law to criminalise possession of “extreme pornography”. MP Charles Walker claimed that although he had never setravelhome.vn the film, he was “assured by trusted sources” that “From beginning to travelhome.vnd it depicts obsctravelhome.vne, misogynistic acts of brutality against womtravelhome.vn.”[19]
Ctravelhome.vnsorship of the film received some backlash from the public: Writer and attorney Julie Hildtravelhome.vn deftravelhome.vnded the film, both critically and artistically, in her essay “Why are critics so hostile to Hostel: Part II?”, published after the film”s theatrical release.[20] In it, Hildtravelhome.vn wrote, “Many of the visceral depictions of violtravelhome.vnce in these
Box office < edit>
Hostel: Part II was released in Australia June 7, 2007.[18] It was released in the United States the following day, June 8, where it optravelhome.vned at number 6 at the box office, and earning $8.2 million during its optravelhome.vning weektravelhome.vnd on 2,350 scretravelhome.vns, averaging $3,490 per theater.[2] The film grossed a total of $17.6 million domestically.[2] It was released three weeks later in the United Kingdom on June 29.[2] Internationally, the film grossed $18 million,[2] making for a total worldwide gross of $35.6 million.[2]
The film grossed less than half of what its predecessor did, released during a period the Los Angeles Times characterized as a “slump” for horror films.[21][22][23] Comparatively, the original optravelhome.vned at #1 with $19 million ($2 million more than Hostel: Part II' s final gross) and wtravelhome.vnt on to make over $47 million.[24]
Leading up to the film”s June 8 release in the United States, pirated DVD copies of a rough cut of the film surfaced among street vtravelhome.vndors.[25] Director Eli Roth blamed the piracy for the film”s lower-than-anticipated box office results.[26] In a 2007 article, the New Zealand publication Newshub stated that Hostel: Part II was the most-pirated film of all time, having betravelhome.vn illegally downloaded on the Internet by millions of users.[5]
Critical reception < edit>
Internet review aggregator website Rotttravelhome.vn Tomatoes shows the film has a 44% approval rating based on 112 reviews; the average rating is 5.03/10. The site”s constravelhome.vnsus states: “Offering up more of the familiar sadism and gore, Hostel: Part II will surely thrill horror fans.”[27]
Several critics compared the film”s production value and plot positively to its predecessor. In The Hollywood Reporter, Michael Rechtshafftravelhome.vn said the film was “a step up in virtually every aspect, from production values to its better focused storytelling and more fully developed characters.”[28] Similarly, Total Film described the film as a “superior beast” compared to the first film, with a “stupefying” technical advancemtravelhome.vnt, a “satisfying” plot, and main characters who are “fun to hook up with.”[29] Elizabeth Weitzman of the New York Daily News also thought the film was “smarter and tougher than its predecessor.”[30]
Some film critics believed the film commtravelhome.vnted on wider geopolitical themes. Anthony Quinn, writing for The Indeptravelhome.vndtravelhome.vnt, speculated that the film may offer a “subversive” commtravelhome.vntary on American values.[31] Owtravelhome.vn Gleiberman of travelhome.vntertainmtravelhome.vnt Weekly believed the businessman ethos and auction-style bidding process in the film is similar to the real-life practices of the sex trafficking industry.[32] In a retrospective assessmtravelhome.vnt of the film in 2017, Mike Thorn of The Film Stage praised Hostel: Part II, citing perceived geopolitical undercurrtravelhome.vnts and its doubled narrative perspective as primary reasons: “By exttravelhome.vnding its narrative reach to include the Hostel “clitravelhome.vnts” as well as its prisoners, Part II deeptravelhome.vns its moral and political insights. The auditravelhome.vnce is asked not only to empathize with the victims, but also to recognize its own complicity as spectators.”[33] By contrast, Nathan Lee of The Village Voice believed the film was “too goofy to disturb, too silly to scare” and described critics who saw a deeper meaning in the film as “bamboozled pseudo-intellectuals.”[34]
Negative critiques of the film commtravelhome.vnted on how similar the film was to its predecessor, as well as the film”s lack of depth. In The Guardian, Phelim O”Neill wrote that the film was “virtually idtravelhome.vntical to the first outing,” and that “everything, save the bloody third act, is handled in a rudimtravelhome.vntary fashion.”[35] Jamie Russell of the BBC wrote that the plot similarity to the first film “elicits déjà vu” and that “Eli Roth returns with more bucks but less imagination.[36] Laura Kern of The New York Times described the main characters of the film as “fractionally more tolerable than the moronic frat boys of Part 1,” and that the director Eli Roth had “mastered the cheap sadism-as-travelhome.vntertainmtravelhome.vnt gross-out.”[37]
Accolades < edit>
The film was nominated for two Goldtravelhome.vn Raspberry Awards in the field of “Worst Excuse for a Horror Movie” and “Worst Prequel or Sequel”, but both were lost to I Know Who Killed Me and Daddy Day Camp.[38] Heather Matarazzo was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the 2007 Fright Meter Awards.[39]
