Trivia:
The car used by Sasha is a Maserati Quattroporte. moreGoofs:
Revealing mistakes: 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. moreSoundtrack:

I'll just get it out of the way first off that the first thing this extremely entertaining sequel does is whip two dreaded slasher sequel clichés at us. After that, it does everything even better than the first one did it. The exposition of the first one and the unexpected switches of focus on characters done in the first film were fine, but the effect was light. Here, we are given very interesting broadenings of the story.
The gore and violence in Hostel Part II is also far more intense than it was in its predecessor. The extent and situation of torture and murder are only part of its exceeding tension in this sequel. The other part is perhaps the thoughts and level of compassion of the people inflicting it, which is to say frighteningly, remarkably low. The first scene of violence keeps you gripping your seat so tightly that your fingers indent its arms, because it happens slowly and terribly. The other aspect is seen because in this film, the business exchange of kidnapping innocent tourists for appointments where clients torture them any way they want now has a face. We see people who handle the business end of it. We also see, in a wonderful montage, the bankers, lawyers, entrepreneurs, et. al. bidding unsuspectingly on their palm pilots for a fresh new victim. There is no line of morality that we are worried about the characters crossing. We are worried about how much further the line is crossed.
The script is better, the horror film delights of violence more intense, and Eli Roth wisely creates sympathy for certain characters, then turns the monsters loose, therefore overall it's much more fun. Hostel Part II understands that character is plot, as each and every character is spot on in thorough definition and development. It's actually quite a shock how impressive the characterizations are. I think Eli Roth is done warming up now. I think his next film will be truly great work.
