Hostel: Part II

<h2 id="plot">Plot</h2>
Following the events of <a href="/facts/Hostel_(2005_film)/A6PPFSfe">Hostel</a>, Paxton suffers from <a href="/facts/Posttraumatic_stress_disorder/9etKu7bX">PTSD</a> and lives in seclusion with his girlfriend Stephanie. After an argument where Stephanie denounces Paxton's paranoia as exaggerated and insufferable, she wakes to find his <a href="/facts/Decapitation/Mbe8UAeF">headless</a> corpse in their kitchen. An unmarked box containing Paxton's severed head is delivered to Elite Hunting boss Sasha.
In <a href="/facts/Rome/bh1Ttx3T">Rome</a>, <a href="/facts/Italy/tUf0PDYF">Italy</a>, three American art students, Beth, Whitney, and Lorna, are convinced by Axelle, a nude model they are sketching, to join her on a luxurious spa vacation in <a href="/facts/Slovakia/gmJwpwM3">Slovakia</a>. The four check into a <a href="/facts/Hostel/WYJqeuIv">hostel</a>, where the desk clerk surreptitiously uploads their passport photos to an auction website. American businessman Todd and his best friend Stuart win the bids on Whitney and Beth. They then travel to Slovakia.
Later that night, at the village's <a href="/facts/Harvest_festival/KxfnKq1u">harvest festival</a>, Lorna discovers Beth has inherited a vast fortune from her mother. Stuart and Todd attend the festival; Todd remarks that Beth "looks like her", and then Stuart approaches Beth and the two share a friendly 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 enters the room and slashes at her with a <a href="/facts/Scythe/fzHys7pS">scythe</a> to collect her blood in the bathtub. She then bathes in the blood before slashing Lorna's throat. Meanwhile, Beth, Whitney, Axelle, and a local man, Miroslav, head to a spa to relax. Beth dozes off, and wakes up alone without her belongings. While looking for her friends, she is pursued by several men and flees the spa. In the woods, she is ambushed by a gang of violent <a href="/facts/Gypsy/HAj6w0kU">gypsy</a> street children, but is saved by Sasha and Axelle; Sasha executes one of the boys as punishment.
Later at Sasha's remote mansion, Beth is confronted by the earlier men, and realizes that the men are associated with Sasha and Axelle. Looking for a hiding place, she discovers a room filled with human <a href="/facts/Headhunting/VWhCSqKL">trophy heads</a> (one of which is Paxton's). Beth is captured and taken to an abandoned factory and tied up in a room.
Beth is soon joined by Stuart, who is supposed to kill her; it turns out Todd, who is wealthy while Stuart is not, paid for Beth for Stuart. Stuart appears to have second thoughts, unties Beth, explains the situation, and says he is "not that guy." Beth goes to the door to try to leave, but someone knocks her out. 
In another room, Todd terrorizes Whitney with a <a href="/facts/Saw/ERUfjrwU">power saw</a>, but loses his nerve after accidentally <a href="/facts/Scalping/41nfHG5A">scalping</a> 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 intent 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. Stuart then begins to torture Beth.
With Todd now dead, the Elite Hunting Club offer the maimed Whitney to the other clients to kill, including an old Italian who is <a href="/facts/Cannibalism/eKhe7wT9">eating</a> Miroslav alive. Stuart, after discovering Todd's death, shows Beth the pictures of the maimed Whitney to frighten her, then accepts the club's offer, leaves Beth and beheads Whitney. 
When Stuart returns, Beth seduces him into untying her from the chair. Stuart attempts to rape her, but she fights him off and chains him to the chair. Sasha and the guards arrive at her cell. Beth offers to buy her freedom with part of her inheritance, and though Stuart tries to outbid her, Sasha reveals that he knows that Stuart cannot afford to do so. Sasha tells her in order to leave, she must also kill someone. When Stuart insults Beth, she cuts off his genitals, leaving him to bleed to death. Satisfied, Sasha gives Beth an Elite Hunting tattoo, making her an official member.
That night, Axelle is lured by the Gypsy street children into the woods, where Beth ambushes and beheads her. Shortly after, the children start playing football with Axelle's severed head.

<h3>Casting</h3>
Roth sought Lauren German for the lead role based on her performance in <a href="/facts/The_Texas_Chainsaw_Massacre_(2003_film)/0C73ntMD">The Texas Chainsaw Massacre</a> (2003).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5">5</a> "Lauren has a sense of humor, but she can also handle those horrific, intense moments," explained Roth. "I needed an actress who would be so vulnerable and so likeable, but then really strong when she needs to be. Even though Lauren probably weighs ninety pounds soaking wet and looks like a princess, you feel like she's kicking ass."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6">6</a> Bijou Phillips was cast as Whitney after impressing Roth with her audition.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7">7</a> 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.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8">8</a>
Vera Jordanova was cast as Axelle, a female antagonist, while former <a href="/facts/Slovakia/gmJwpwM3">Slovak</a> Minister of Culture and actor <a href="/facts/Milan_K%C5%88a%C5%BEko/9TSjg6g1">Milan Kňažko</a>, was given the role of Sasha, the Russian mafia member and ringleader of the torture factory.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9">9</a> "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."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10">10</a> To play Stuart and Todd, the American businessmen 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.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11">11</a>

<h3>Filming</h3>

Principal photography began on September 11, 2006, in Prague's <a href="/facts/Barrandov_Studios/vFDgfCyN">Barrandov Studios</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12">12</a> Much of the tunnel sequences in the torture factory were filmed in sets constructed at the studio, while additional photography took place in and around Prague.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13">13</a> The unnamed village where the protagonists stay and attend the harvest festival is <a href="/facts/%C4%8Cesk%C3%BD_Krumlov/QXdRkNEI">Český Krumlov</a>, located in the Czech Republic's <a href="/facts/South_Bohemian_Region/5vw88zHY">South Bohemian Region</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14">14</a> 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.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15">15</a> Roth shot scenes for the film in the <a href="/facts/Brothel/cfbd8vt0">brothel</a> <a href="/facts/Big_Sister_(brothel)/q820b5K8">Big Sister</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:16" href="#fn:16">16</a> and the spa sequence was shot on location at <a href="/facts/Blue_Lagoon_(geothermal_spa)/IAtyHRH7">the Blue Lagoon</a> near <a href="/facts/Reykjav%C3%ADk/bKLzL94g">Reykjavík</a> in <a href="/facts/Iceland/E4KGYs2j">Iceland</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:17" href="#fn:17">17</a>

The special effects in the film were created by <a href="/facts/Greg_Nicotero/QT3C06hG">Greg Nicotero</a> and <a href="/facts/Howard_Berger/S9cdatUm">Howard Berger</a>, who had worked with Roth on the previous film.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:18" href="#fn:18">18</a> Actress Phillips claimed that her torture sequence, which entails her being <a href="/facts/Scalping/41nfHG5A">scalped</a> by a power saw, required around forty-five setups.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:19" href="#fn:19">19</a> "I don't think I could do something like this again," she stated in a 2007 interview. "I'm glad that I had the experience, and I love my job, but we went into places that I didn't know existed, and I don't need to do that again."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:20" href="#fn:20">20</a> Matarazzo's elaborate murder sequence required the actress to hang upside down, nude, with her hands chained to her back. Matarazzo performed the scene herself, and was hung upside down in five-minute intervals over a period of two days.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:21" href="#fn:21">21</a>

<h2 id="release">Release</h2>
<h3>Marketing and press</h3>

Lionsgate devised several <a href="/facts/One_sheet/7VXcCpdC">one sheet</a> 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.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:22" href="#fn:22">22</a> This poster, released in December 2006, yielded complaints from American theater patrons, and it was removed from theaters.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:23" href="#fn:23">23</a>
A second poster, released in February 2007, showed a side profile of actress Bijou Phillips nude, holding her own severed head.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:24" href="#fn:24">24</a> The two posters were subsequently combined, with the image of Phillips superimposed over the first poster.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:25" href="#fn:25">25</a> A third poster, showing Matarazzo hanging upside down, was also released.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:26" href="#fn:26">26</a> On May 11, 2007, the final one sheet was released, which showed Roger Bart standing in a darkened corridor, holding a power drill in front of his groin.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:27" href="#fn:27">27</a>
To promote the film's upcoming release, Lionsgate screened the first five minutes of Hostel: Part II before select screenings of <a href="/facts/Bug_(2006_film)/uN5rpNHc">Bug</a>, which opened on May 25, 2007.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:28" href="#fn:28">28</a> On June 6, 2007, the film was given an advance screening at the <a href="/facts/Museum_of_the_Moving_Image_(New_York_City)/eEv5zcLP">Museum of the Moving Image</a>, and featured a Q&A session with Roth afterward.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:29" href="#fn:29">29</a>

<h3>Censorship</h3>
The film has been restricted to adults in most countries. However, it has been cut in <a href="/facts/Germany/paluuWBX">Germany</a>, and the "German Extended Version" (in which Lorna's torture and death scene is still not shown completely)<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:30" href="#fn:30">30</a> has subsequently been banned in <a href="/facts/Germany/paluuWBX">Germany</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:31" href="#fn:31">31</a> A court in <a href="/facts/Munich/Pr6zw2ev">Munich</a> ruled the release of the film (in its cut or uncut form) to be punishable by law.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:32" href="#fn:32">32</a> The film was banned outright in <a href="/facts/New_Zealand/4mpSlJdg">New Zealand</a> upon submission to the ratings board, after the distributor refused to make cuts in order to receive an R18 certificate.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:33" href="#fn:33">33</a> However, it would later receive a release in edited form in New Zealand on DVD in 2008.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:34" href="#fn:34">34</a>
On October 8, 2007, the film was cited in the <a href="/facts/House_of_Commons_of_the_United_Kingdom/IyyztqLo">House of Commons of the United Kingdom</a> as an example where stills from the film could be illegal to possess under the proposed law to criminalise possession of "<a href="/facts/Section_63_of_the_Criminal_Justice_and_Immigration_Act_2008/JJ4h4gov">extreme pornography</a>". MP <a href="/facts/Charles_Walker_(British_politician)/YwP4oClE">Charles Walker</a> claimed that although he had never seen the film, he was "assured by trusted sources" that "From beginning to end it depicts obscene, misogynistic acts of brutality against women."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:35" href="#fn:35">35</a>
Censorship of the film received some backlash from the public: Writer and attorney Julie Hilden defended 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.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:36" href="#fn:36">36</a> In it, Hilden wrote, "Many of the visceral depictions of violence in these [types of] movies conveyed strong messages that no viewer could miss. Ironically, these messages, especially in the Hostel films, are typically anti-violence."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:37" href="#fn:37">37</a>

<h3>Box office</h3>
Hostel: Part II was released in Australia June 7, 2007.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:38" href="#fn:38">38</a> It was released in the United States the following day, June 8, where it opened at number 6 at the box office, and earning $8.2 million during its opening weekend on 2,350 screens, averaging $3,490 per theater.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:39" href="#fn:39">39</a> The film grossed a total of $17.6 million domestically.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:40" href="#fn:40">40</a> It was released three weeks later in the United Kingdom on June 29.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:41" href="#fn:41">41</a> Internationally, the film grossed $18 million,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:42" href="#fn:42">42</a> making for a total worldwide gross of $35.6 million.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:43" href="#fn:43">43</a>
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.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:44" href="#fn:44">44</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:45" href="#fn:45">45</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:46" href="#fn:46">46</a> Comparatively, the original opened at #1 with $19 million ($2 million more than Hostel: Part II's final gross) and went on to make over $47 million.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:47" href="#fn:47">47</a>
Leading up to the film's June 8 release in the United States, <a href="/facts/Copyright_infringement/33JDsS5S">pirated</a> DVD copies of a rough cut of the film surfaced among street vendors.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:48" href="#fn:48">48</a> Director Eli Roth blamed the piracy for the film's lower-than-anticipated box office results.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:49" href="#fn:49">49</a> In a 2007 article, the New Zealand publication <a href="/facts/Newshub/63HPI9DW">Newshub</a> stated that Hostel: Part II was the most-pirated film of all time, having been illegally downloaded on the Internet by millions of users.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:50" href="#fn:50">50</a>

<h3>Critical reception</h3>
Internet <a href="/facts/Review_aggregator/EpyYjDP6">review aggregator</a> website <a href="/facts/Rotten_Tomatoes/rLs7ktSY">Rotten Tomatoes</a> shows the film has a 44% approval rating based on 112 reviews; the average rating is 5.03/10. The site's consensus states: "Offering up more of the familiar sadism and gore, Hostel: Part II will surely thrill horror fans."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:51" href="#fn:51">51</a>
Several critics compared the film's production value and plot positively to its predecessor. In <a href="/facts/The_Hollywood_Reporter/XUWEdhES">The Hollywood Reporter</a>, Michael Rechtshaffen said the film was "a step up in virtually every aspect, from production values to its better focused storytelling and more fully developed characters."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:52" href="#fn:52">52</a> Similarly, <a href="/facts/Total_Film/UBCttJJ6">Total Film</a> described the film as a "superior beast" compared to the first film, with a "stupefying" technical advancement, a "satisfying" plot, and main characters who are "fun to hook up with."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:53" href="#fn:53">53</a> Elizabeth Weitzman of the <a href="/facts/New_York_Daily_News/3QE3DzVE">New York Daily News</a> also thought the film was "smarter and tougher than its predecessor."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:54" href="#fn:54">54</a>
Some film critics believed the film commented on wider geopolitical themes. Anthony Quinn, writing for <a href="/facts/The_Independent/g1P75Mfz">The Independent</a>, speculated that the film may offer a "subversive" commentary on American values.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:55" href="#fn:55">55</a> <a href="/facts/Owen_Gleiberman/bP5rItLB">Owen Gleiberman</a> of <a href="/facts/Entertainment_Weekly/BhADudJx">Entertainment Weekly</a> believed the businessman ethos and auction-style bidding process in the film is similar to the real-life practices of the sex trafficking industry.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:56" href="#fn:56">56</a> In a retrospective assessment of the film in 2017, Mike Thorn of The Film Stage praised Hostel: Part II, citing perceived <a href="/facts/Geopolitics/4bmB8oCM">geopolitical</a> undercurrents and its doubled narrative perspective as primary reasons: "By extending its narrative reach to include the Hostel "clients" as well as its prisoners, Part II deepens its moral and political insights. The audience is asked not only to empathize with the victims, but also to recognize its own complicity as spectators."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:57" href="#fn:57">57</a> By contrast, Nathan Lee of <a href="/facts/The_Village_Voice/YM7tnkrN">The Village Voice</a> 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."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:58" href="#fn:58">58</a>
Negative critiques of the film commented on how similar the film was to its predecessor, as well as the film's lack of depth. In <a href="/facts/The_Guardian/H84wwJYM">The Guardian</a>, Phelim O'Neill wrote that the film was "virtually identical to the first outing," and that "everything, save the bloody third act, is handled in a rudimentary fashion."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:59" href="#fn:59">59</a> Jamie Russell of the <a href="/facts/BBC/qFateIz8">BBC</a> wrote that the plot similarity to the first film "elicits déjà vu" and that "Eli Roth returns with more bucks but less imagination.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:60" href="#fn:60">60</a> Laura Kern of <a href="/facts/The_New_York_Times/T9marWVX">The New York Times</a> 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-entertainment gross-out."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:61" href="#fn:61">61</a>

<h2 id="accolades">Accolades</h2>
The film was nominated for two <a href="/facts/Golden_Raspberry_Awards/zdey1SKV">Golden Raspberry Awards</a> in the field of "Worst Excuse for a Horror Movie" and "Worst Prequel or Sequel", but both were lost to <a href="/facts/I_Know_Who_Killed_Me/M2N7oNRV">I Know Who Killed Me</a> and <a href="/facts/Daddy_Day_Camp/nPNY6A3C">Daddy Day Camp</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:62" href="#fn:62">62</a> Heather Matarazzo was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the 2007 Fright Meter Awards.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:63" href="#fn:63">63</a>
