Possible spoilers below.
Eli Roth could have taken a different path and this might have been a more interesting movie. Hostel 2 begins where the first one left off. During the first 5 minutes or so, we are reintroduced to the only survivor from the first film. If Roth were a better writer, he could have developed around the premise of this survivor trying to outrun, or outwit his captors from the original. He still could have incorporated the torture scenes but it could have been a better movie if he had included this character as well. Unfortunately, after 10 minutes, this character is killed off, and Hostel 2 becomes a rehash of the first movie only without any of the surprises. When I saw the first Hostel, I had NO idea what was going to happen This is what made it interesting. But since the underlying premise of Hostel was basically weak, without the surprise, your left with a cheap, predictable, and boring sequel. Wait for it to come out on DVD. It's not worth the $11.00!!
