Hostel: Part II (2007)
Utter rubbish
The original was pretty objectionable but worked because it had a believable set up and a nightmarish feel. Mostly this was the result of telling us absolutely nothing about the business behind the tortures.
Turns out it's just a weekend getaway for rich businessmen who want an alternative to the usual golfing trip. The idea that it isn't an obscure, underground place for a few random psychos but is in fact an organised and efficiently run business is both ridiculous and laughable.
Not that the rest of the film is any better. The script is terrible, and the entire first half of the film almost completely irrelevant (including a lengthy sequence on a train that is straight out of the worst straight to video movies).
Worse still, the torture scenes are now camp and cartoonish rather than raw and visceral as they were in the original.

Interesting curio
Worth seeing as a bit of a curio, although hardly riveting viewing.
Judging by the other comments there's a definite split between surfers and non-surfers in reactions to the film. If you like sitting and watching your friends' home movies about them surfing then you'll probably get more from it than anyone else.
The surfers seem to live for surfing, but are unable to share their enthusiasm for it. And the narration from Greenough is just extraordinarily dry.
Still, some of the photography is splendid, and the soundtrack gives it a certain period charm. The Pink Floyd section, while overlong, is fascinating, and might have worked better as a trippy short film in its own right.
