Leckomaniac attends the Chicago AICN screening of HOSTEL PART 2!! Does he torture the movie or just play with it?
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Funny this should come in today. I'm dedicating the rest of my day to finishing my HOSTEL set visit continuation. It's a little frustrating sometimes when you're asked to hold your interviews or reviews or (in this case) a set visit until opening week. I think a set report opening week is kind of pointless, but I was able to talk Lionsgate into letting me post a part one report back when I visited the set in October. Now, I've just got to finish the damned thing.
Anyway, the movie has started to screen. We've gotten a few "unfinished bootleg" reviews that I'm not going to run. What's the point when the finished movie is screening right now? But this is the first review from a screening that I've gotten. I have seen sites like Slashfilm and Twitch and IESB post their reviews and hopefully Capone weighs in soon. The Austin crew sees it Sunday night.
Overall, the word is positive so far, albeit from fans of the first movie. The movie's coming out next Friday and is screening all over the place, so I'm sure we'll have many opinions sent in and contributed by our regulars by the time it hits the screen.
Enjoy Leckomaniac's review of the Chicago screening!!!
Hey Capone,
I would like to thank you for the opportunity to see Hostel 2 in advance. It was quite an experience for my brother and me to see the film and meet Eli Roth. Thank you so much!
I figured I would do my part and send in a review to AICN. This will be the first review I ever send it. Hope it isn't too awful. Here it goes.
First, let me get this out of the way right up front: I thoroughly enjoyed Cabin Fever, I thought Hostel was an excellent step forward, and the THANKSGIVING trailer was all kinds of kick ass in a 2 minute package. Basically, I really dig Eli Roth and what he does.
The thing about this film is that the title pretty much sets you up for what is to come. It is called Hostel: Part Two, as opposed to Hostel 2, for a reason. This is a true continuation of the first film. It literally starts off right after the events of the previous film and then proceeds to set up an all new story. Basically, we begin the film by getting to see Paxton's fate after he escapes and gets him some revenge. It only lasts about 10 minutes or so, but it is a pretty cool pay off. From there, the movie sets up the new story which centers around three American girls in Rome. The three girls meet-up with a hot ass model from their art class who convinces them to join her for at some kick ass spa/hot springs. The girls want to know if there is a place to stay and that is how we get to the infamous hostel. What makes this film a bit more interesting and not just a paint-by-the numbers sequel is that we are also treated to the inner workings of the organization that set up these kill fests. That is really the main appeal of this film. We get to meet the two guys who are going to be, eventually, coming face-to-face with these girls in the torture room. It is an excellent way to expand the Hostel universe. The movie spends a great deal of time with the two business men that paid a lot of money to torture these girls. Eli Roth makes sure that these guys are not monsters. It is a really nice touch that adds a lot.
As expected, the gore is top notch, the kills are inventive and fun, there are tits, lots of cock (the ladies loved that), and some pretty awesome humor.
Hostel: Part Two is the logical next installment for this franchise. It isn't like normal horror movie sequels, which basically make the same film over and over...this gives the audience what they want without feeling like it is just more of the same. Basically, if you enjoyed Hostel or Cabin Fever at all...you'll really enjoy Hostel: Part Two. End of story.
If you use this...call me Leckomaniac

+ Expand All
-
that's right
-
...he plays with you... Let's try this again: FIRST?
-
for first, damn! (second is nice too)
-
"Welcome to the Hostel California" That song plays in my head every time I read about this flick. This is a genre that must die soon! Moronic torture porn does nothing for me.
-
EAT IT!
-
The scene with Paxton and the super-hyped up businessman in the first Hostel was miles ahead of the rest of the film. Good to see Roth has spotted that and expanded on the killers in the second. However, I expect this board to be full of hate for all things torture porn in 5...4...3...2...1
-
I have to ask again how the official announcement yesterday of a MAJOR overhaul at Islands of Adventure to now include a huge Harry Potter themed area with numerous HP rides, shows and attractions is not worthy "cool news"? I mean it is only one of the most popular fantasy novel and film series in History... Sheesh. (But yeah, joke Youtube videos of suicidal muppets sure are "news". Sheeesh). As for Hostel 2? I'm still cautiously optimistic. I was indifferent to the first (save for some great boobs and a few moments of real tension).
-
This year's Little Miss... aww heck... I've got nothing.
Baaaaaaah! -
That's about it.
-
because it possibly sucks more balls than the complete piece of shit.
-
because Elizabeth Roth will actually give Harry the time of day. Anybody who gives harry the time of day, or god forbid, a movie cameo, becomes a "film making auteur genius hollywood god"
-
A horror movie with a story? Sounds interesting.
I admit it - I'm no fan of pointless horror flicks, but this Roth guy hasn't let me down yet. I'll be there like the Jackson 5. -
Yeah, I Like Harry Potter. But it's not a "cool" thing to like. In fact I generally try to hide my liking for it from other people unless I'm sure they like it too. It's like LOTR, somewhat. Alot of my friends thought LOTR was "Gay" when it first came out. Then they saw all the movies, and liked it. I'm sure when all the Harry Potter's movies come out it'll gain some street cred.
-
The Hostel flicks are different than the Saw flicks in that they have actual characters, dialogue that couldn't be written by a 7th grader and messages/themes.
For all the hype about the gore and the kills in both of the films, Eli Roth shows incredible restraint and knows when to cut away. He also builds up to everything with good character development and issues that will be brought back up, be it literally or artistically, when the shit hits the fan.
Because we know what to expect going into this movie, it's not as terrifying as the first, but ultimately it's a great horror film with quite a bit hidden beneath it's "torture-porn" surface.
By the way, I hate the new Texas Chainsaw, Saw and Wolf Creek movies. Nonetheless, none of that is torture-porn. Doesn't using the term "porn" imply that what happened on screen, was real? -
With the semi-success of the first one, and the probably better than the first ones success with the second, Eli Roth is opting out of a third hostel. Why? Because he saw Spidey 3 and was like "This was no good. No Hostel: part III for me." Okay, I think after the BLAHness of the number 3's this summer (i.e. Spidey 3, PotC 3, Shrek 3) that Eli is gunshy to go the distance. Who cares if other directors dropped the ball on a great franchise, that doesn't mean Roth has to. Granted, the directors of the other 3 films might have a slightly larger talent pool than Roth, that doesn't make a difference.
-
hurrrr!
-
I'm still a little traumatised. I think there is less violence than the first, but the premise is somehow more chilling. without wanting to *spoil* too much, the scene with the online bidding is just surreal... the concept that normal looking people are bidding on the opportunity to hack up these girls is just horrifying.
I loved the first film. I loved seeing the guy actually escape and get some back at the bastichs - Satisfying. There's some of that feel in this film and there's some scenes that are permanently etched into my head and actually affected this horror-hardened body. 'Hanging out' for part 3. -
PLANT!!!
We never said you could leave the zone to begin with!!! -
Will someone else pick up the ball? (that reference will make sense when u see the film).
-
can't wait to see this.
All you torture-porn haters are just squeamish little girls. -
was a shit pile of a movie. Why make a sequel. Oh yeah, that's right, that's all hollywood knows how to do these days. Make sequels and prequels to crap movies. It's like me taking a dump and then puking on it. It's all shit.
-
AND YES THEY WERE VERY STRONG OPINIONS INDEED! to save myself a 9th ban! i shall simply go light on the ignorant talentless slut that is ELI FUCKING CABIN RETARD KID NINJA FEVER HOSTEL WORLDWIDE SUCKFEST WANK ROTH! however he is very talented at one thing! and that is suckling at the tit of self indulgence and studio bosses and fucking lame ass execution of any of his work! fucking fuck him! I LAUGHED AND LAUGHED AS CRAZY ASS IGNORANT SLUT TALKBACKERS START DEFENDING HIM ! let him speak for himself with his own films! AND SPEAKING OF ABOMINATIONS KEEP THIS FUCK AWAY FROM KINGS CELL! LET HIM RUIN HIS OWN SHIT!...ps to those about to start ranting at me i say this... READ MY NAME !!!
-
sounds like someones in loooveeee
-
'Cause I wanna see more of what I likes. Imagine if all movies were one shots. If that's your thing, then ignore the sequels, but heck... I like it that film makers follow the money and give me another chance to see a story advance or continued. Doesn't always work but what the hell. I wanted to see more Saw. I like See-saws. I want more Hostel. I got the money and I want to see Predators smack down the big black alien bitches again. Live with the fact that sometimes movies and books are serial or have potential to be.

WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED OF THIS SOONER?!?!?!
-
AM I ? TO SEE WHO WITH READ MY NAME!!!
-
I think the people who get irritated with films like Hostel and Cabin Fever just don't get the whole B-grade horror thing. And that's fine if it's not to your taste. But look, it's not really supposed to be smart or even original. And it's not supposed to make 'real world' sense. That's the first rule of B-grade; normal logic doesn't apply. And the dialogue should be a little hokey. It's no-brainer fun.
-
of full-on gore, it kept cutting away. I really wanted to enjoy Hostel from how it was sold but it seems tamer than i expected. I suspect i'd have liked it if i hadn't known anything about it going in hype wise. Don't know whether to see this one or not. Has anyone seen that Captivity movie that opens in a couple of weeks? Elisha Cuthbert will get me in for that one but she was in that god-awful House of Wax remake so guess i should go in with low expectations on that one too.
-
Sounds like a film I might want to watch....if I can get over the spookiness of it all!
-
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STAY AWAY!
-
"The movie spends a great deal of time with the two business men that paid a lot of money to torture these girls. Eli Roth makes sure that these guys are not monsters."
Um, yeah, if you pay money to torture someone, you are a monster.
"I'm surprised I have to explain this." - Joe Bob Briggs -
To the point. thanks. Will do. I figured it might be a crap-fest when they put up those posters in LA for all the free publicity. Smacked of a stunt to mask a poor film. I wish Cuthbert could act then i'd be able to see her sweet sweet ass in good movies. I miss the early what ludicrous implausible situation will Kim get herself into this week days of 24.
-
THEY MUST BE SCARY MOVIE FANS!
-
Slurp...Slurp...Swallow! And then he kills them Hostel style so he won't tell.
-
YES YES I AGREE! i must admit i didnt belive your transformers post due to lack of spoilers! and then u gave them in the talkback so consider myself taking that back! I WILL ADD U LUCKY FUCKER! i realy want to enjoy that film so if what u say is true there is hope for summer! and i shall now defend your name if anyone slanders it!
-
In a summer of PG13 action movies and a neutered Die Hard sequel, good to see Eli Roth flying the flag for old school R rated horror. Bring on the gore!
-
A hot scene with Heather Matarazzo?! PLay on words I assume?
-
A DINOSAUR ONCE GOT NAMED AFTER ELI ROTH... THE DINOSAUR SAID... JESUS HAVENT U GOT ANYTHING MORE CURRENT! ANOTHER DINOSAUR RESPONDED... WHOS JESUS? AND JESUS RESPONDED... THERE ARE NO DINOSAURS!
-
Alexandre Aja's HIgh Tension was a much better horror than the stuff Roth does. If i'd just walked out 15 minutes before the end and swipped the Hollywoodised ending it would have been nigh on perfect
-
There's only like ONE real torture scene, and the only one of the girls whose titties you see is the one you DONT want to see! (Heather Mattazarro)
It's like a castrated version of Part One. I was disappointed. -
So,no reviews of the "unfinished bootleg"-same as the"unfinished"version of The Hulk?
Both were/are finshed,both films were/are shit!
Funny how Harry and co have no qualms about posting early"screening"reviews of other films whose director they DON'T "know"personally though eh?Surely a test screening is an unfinished print too?? -
UNFINESHED IT WAS AND FUCKING SHIT IT ALSO WAS! SO THERE IS A WORKPRINT OUT FOR HOSTEL 2 THEN? HMMM I HAVE THE BLACKSHEEP WORKPRINT! AND APOCOLYPSE NOW [RUNS OVER 5 HOURS] I ALSO HAVE LOADS MORE WORKPRINT SINCE FILM IS MY LIFE I FIND THEM THE BEST THINGS TO COLLECT! AND SHIT I HAVE CAPS ON!
-
I don't need HOSTEL FUCKING 2 to see that. Why do you (=Leckomania; sounds German to me) think the internet was invented, huh?HOSTEL 1 sucked and this sounds like CRAPTEL PARTE DEUX sucks royal monkey dick.Roth is a hack.
-
then you will definitely hate the second one. To the dipshit that said nothing is as gruesome as the eyeball scene in part one then he must have not seen the final torture of the male character. Heres a full review of the movie that ive seen twice now.

I saw and liked Part One... this ones not near as good
by shiftyeyeddog2
For the record, I was Surprised how much I enjoyed Part One, but as I said this one is WAY disappointing. Too few titties, WAY too little torture.. and the "final torture of the male character"? dont get people too excited. its nothing major and not really all that gruesome
-
This is the worst review AICN has ever posted. "Gosh I luuuv Hostel and Eli Roth and torture porn and everything about it is awesome." The review is the "logical next installment" of the mouthbreather who thinks this is good cinema. Fuck you.
-
I can't remember who said it (thought it was Harry?), but someone said that Eli Roth was really sick. . .is he better?
-
The site runs ads for HD-DVD, and next thing you know they run an "article" *cough*advertisement*cough* about Harry buying HD, chock full of lies, inaccuracies, and misinformation.
And dont even get me started on how his love of movies seems to bedirectly proportional to how well he personally knows the directors. -

and then tried to claim his movie was different because it was a continuation, like Kill Bill (he actually used that analogy). Sounds like the first ten minutes are a continuation and the rest is boring sequel territory. Roth's an absolute moron.
-
It's on the net if you care...
-
seek help, you torture fans.
-
If AICN is so biased, stop coming here and reading the biased information. If Eli Roth is such a talentless hack stop watching his movies. Most of the negative shit posts on here are so angry its obvious many of you want to be Eli Roth.
-
Jesus, I almost never do this, but shut the fuck up, man. Your all caps typing and mumbled, ill-formed attacks of Roth are annoying as hell. Cabin Fever ruled your lame ass, and all you Roth haters are really goddamned whiny bitches. You don't have to like it, just don't watch it. But instead of wasting your time bitching about it, go post for something you actually like. Oh, and whoever posted that about High Tension, it was just a rip-off of the Dean Koontz book and movie Intensity, with a shittier ending. Look in to it.
-
Is anyone else on this site concerned that this torture porn / gorno thing is really horrible?
-
Why is it when people don't like something, especially Roth, the dumbass defenders on this site call you jealous?
I'm not jealous of anything. I just think this movie disappointed (but didnt outright suck), and the site is often not objective. How does that suddenly make me jealous of anything? -
I can't believe I just read these two sentences:
"The movie spends a great deal of time with the two business men that paid a lot of money to torture these girls. Eli Roth makes sure that these guys are not monsters."
Uh, yeah -- that really provides some chilling insight into the sick fucks who enjoy this crap. -
but I have every right to label this review a fucking waste of time. At least post a negative review below this gloopy bullshit.
-
Are the tits and cock on the same person?
-
Lecko - Not toooooo spoilerish, and excellent.... wait, we went through this already, hours ago.
-
Yawn. I am a businessman. My life is so hard. My wife hates me. My kids suck. My life is boring and pointless--whatever shall I do? I KNOW!! I'll kidnap, humiliate, torture and murder American teens! That will make my dick hard!
What the fuck is wrong with people today? Who wants to watch this shit? Frank Garabont calls this shit "Murder-Porn" and he is right. Instead of getting erection from watching faked mutilations and murders, how about spending money on some therapy so you can figure out what is wrong with your completely un-miserable, un-horrible, un-important lives RATHER than GLORIFY murder? Because, that is what this current crop of excessive gory exploitation movies do.
I am not saying you cannot tackle this subject matter (hell, look at Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer as an example of a good movie that explores this gray area) but when people use the same techniques of titillation, money-shots and bondage eroticism that is used for porn as the model for showing murder, rape, mutilation - all things that really happen, all for people's "amusement" ...I begin to question the mental health of our entire culture.
Throughout my life, I have known three girls who were abducted, raped and murdered -- from elementary school through college. It isn't a joke. It isn't cool. It is horrible, sad and pathetic. -
That way I could know what cock tastes like.
-
Not that I don't agree with you to apoint, but it's not EVERY movie he has an in on or a cameo that he likes. He HATED "Monkeybone" and was pretty vicious in his attacks on that, even though he was in the movie.
-
...My Pleasure...
-
so much as Quentin tarentino's friend... but maybe i'm just jealous
-
I remember ,a few months ago, listening to the Drudge Report. He was talking to his Hollywood expert about AICN. The expert said that AICN started off as a good idea, but eventually sold out. He said Hollywood corrupted this web site. My sentiments exactly.
-
'Cabin Fever ruled your lame ass, and all you Roth haters are really goddamned whiny bitches'
Please tell me you don't. You are already perceived as the most stupid race on the planet. You don't need idiots like this making it worse. -
A Terrance James is worthless.
-
But then, I was disgusted by Cabin Fever and just hearing about Hostel made me wanna hurl.
Hang on, maybe I'm just squeamish.....? -
Even though I agree with you about Savedragoner, you sir are an ASSCLOWN! This is America! FUCK YEAH!
-
You are just making yourself look even worse. You can't spell my name even though it's up there for all to see.
-
There. You happy? BTW, where's Phillip?
-
But America still wins. AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!
-
Sorry, but anyone who actively enjoys watching this trash is a budding psychopath. How the hell can you get hard from watching a terrified abductee getting tortured? Oh, she's got her baps out, so that's OK, right? You people should be ashamed. This is a sad comment on the human race. Shame on you. You sick f*cks.
-
Whatever. We rule your sorry asses. WE RULE EVERYBODY! THE GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH! AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!
-
I saw Hostel. It fucking sucked, and it had scenes of revolting torture porn. there's no way of getting around it. It's fucking porn for sick fucks! I love the fact that no one has challenged your post yet... Furthermore, Hostel is just a bad movie. It's half-brained, filled with stupid characters, unbelieveable dialogue and motivations and a bullshit deus ex machina ending. It's fucking trash, but I guess most porn is. Losers.
-
Absolutely the worst film of the year so far. Rent Hostel Pt.1 and pretend the men are women and you have the sequel. It makes Uwe Boll look like Scorcese.
-
oh wait, we already know.
-
I don't think anything could be worse then the shit Uwe Boll churns out
-
I am sorry but when has anyone wanted to see cock on film,
-
what the hell?
-
may make terrible, joyless garbage, but it's better than torture porn.
-
Watch the hilarious acting of Heather Matarazzo who must have got the part for agreeing to show her tits. The shock awe horror finale which is laughable to the extreme. The script I hope was written by a 7 year old because I feel sorry for anyone older than that to come up with this shitness. Its the worst film of the year and really makes you wonder "Why was this film made, especially when it adds nothing new". If Uwe Boll directed this film known as Hostel 2 then every reviewer here would be ripping him to shreds but being as its Harrys mate, watch it get rave reviews. Its a turd and a fucking big one at that. Eli should not try and steal a great scene from City of God too, leave that to someone who knows what they're doing. Bottom line - Its fucking crap of the highest order.
-
Count me in!!
-
has anyone seen that bs documentary about how much of a great film maker he is? be prepared for the slurp effect.
-
Good Lord Eli Roth sucks,bollox to no Hostel 3 its definatly gonna happen.Its gonna be just like saw im sure well definatly see at least 4 Hostels.I pray that we dont.
-
into not seeing this movie even more. Wow, "lots of cock". Great. Grand. Awesome. What everyone wants to hear about a horror movie. He sure seemed pretty amped about that one huh? This film sounds like the suck fest it probably is. I've not liked anything Roth has done except for that "Thanksgiving" trailer in Grindhouse which was fantastic. Everything else this guy has done has been shit. Cabin Fever sucked, Hotel sucked and any movie that boost "lots of cock" really you have to question how much that is going to suck in itself for many other reasons. Should get T-shirts made with that slogan "lots of cock", great way to sell a movie there.
-
Proof that Eli is a very skilled horror film director - you're already scared.I am wholly ambivalent on Roth. I'll see it eventually.
-
Oh Dear... Don't wanna put up any spoilers seeing as the film ain't hit the theatres yet but this is a seriously badly thought out sequel. First off, I'm a Roth fan. I loved Cabin Fever's insane, don't give a fuck kind of tone and Hostel 1 was one of my highlights in cinema last year. So I was really looking foward to this one. In my humble opinion, everything that was wrong in the first one is repeated in this one and everything Hostel 1 got right Part II stomps all over and ruins it, showing that the creators didn't have a clue what message they were getting across to fans & really were just making a gorefest. The thing that really confuses me about it is it takes the best part of an hour to get us back to the torturehouse. WE KNOW WHERE THEY'RE GOING. Hostel was a sweetly timed slow burning horror, building up the dread. We knew they would end up on that bloody chair but we never knew how. This time we did and need to sit through an hour of the same stuff. 3 Things that Hostel 2 prove: 1) Eli Roth is a closet homosexual who loves male nudity as much as female. 2)He really can't work well with actors, the acting was good in the 1st it was lines like "Oh yeah I didn't tell you, I seen a girl drown" stuff that let them down, but it wasn't too bad, in this Lauren German is the only one actor that walks away with any credibility. 3) If you're going to say "I have the sickest twist ending ever" actually give us one. Don't get me wrong it's sick but as for a twist, it just downright blows, it's rushed and not well thought out - the characters aren't developed enough to go through such a "Change". The sick part has also been done before by one Wes Craven. All-in-all it's a shitty film and I think Roth/QT/Harry Knowles and everyone who backed the rough, but showing promise, first know it. Will they have the balls to admit it, I doubt it. Cell better be a lot better or Roth is fucked (in terms of making genuine films) I'm sure his pillow made of $ helps him sleep at night. I had him with 2 good flicks, now I have him with one good film because Part II is so shit, it actually fucks up the premise of part I and ruins everything the fans had in their heads about the organisation etc. Poor Show.
-
Where were they with this one, I ain't one for demanding censorship but if the last torture scebne in this film doesn't demand an NC-17 then what the fuck does!? How about a midgit with a 12inch cock fucking thesevered out eye socket of the late Princess Dianna or maybe a real snuff movie with a toddler who is left in Michael Jackson's closet with nothing but a pack of condoms and the morning after pill to defend itself. I mean I'm glad that Zombie got the devils rejects down to an R and the first SAW, but when this shit gets through, you've gotta wonder just what their purpose actually is. Also whoever said the SAW dialougue was worse than the Hostel speech is a downright dirty liar!
-
I read a few days ago on bloodydisgusting that "people shouldnt download the workprint,our little genre called horror isnt doing so well right now and we need to get people into theatres on the 8th to see this". I had the misfortune of seeing this putrid piece of cinematic anal ooze yesterday and would argue with anyone that its horror films like this and directors like Eli Roth that are fucking horror movies in the shitter,as many people as possible should download the workprint and watch it if it means no one will pay hard earned cash on goin to see it,nobody involved with this film deserves to make a single penny(cent)from it.No doubt the guy loves horror and he seems possibly the most enthusiastic person about the genre,BUT that dont mean the guy should be let loose with millions of dollars to create what amounts to something only basketcases and closet psychotics will find fun and no doubt jack of to in their mommas panties.to sum this film up,Shit script,Shittier Acting,Excruciatingly Shitty Attempts at humour,Laughable Shitfest torture scenes,Horribly misjudged shittyness(Guy shooting kid simply to show hes a badass)Horribly Shitty ending,in fact im just of the dunger and the shit i had reminded me of one thing,this film!!.

Hey all...Rich Malone here...I was at the Hostel 2 screening last night(all the way in the back, behind the annoying chicks who kept saying 'Oh my god..that's just horrible'..did you not know the screening was for Hostel 2, bitch?), and I geniunely looked forward to seeing the anty be upped in this sequel....didn't get a chance to see Roth (the screening ws supposed to show at 8pm, but Roth's plane was late, so they didn't screen until like 8:30, and even then when the film ended, he was still delayed...not his fault, but if you don't know, O'hare has some ETA issues..) But I wanted to ask him if he had any thoughts of not doing a sequel in a day in age when we see so many that don't keep with the same central themes as the original, or expand them at least.
In the beginning pf the film, it looks like just that...A great continuation of the first story, immediately....But then the cliche's start to set in, and we see the same characters from the original, just in female form (the quiet reserved one, the over-sexed one, the heroic-yet-troubled one), and it's pretty much a bore...this time, I couldn't wait for the three protagonists to get theirs, but the film only delivers on that MAYBE 30 fuckng precent....The film is strongest when they show the glimpses of what the orginization is, and how it's run, and how sick that shit is....(and the 'bidding' scene is the high point of the film)
So it's another case of a sequel for sequels' sake.. like a blueprint of the first with a couple cool touches (the music was EXCELLENT, the color schemes were good too, and the expansion to the orginization's inner workings and the two bidder's worked well/but why would Americans bid on otehr Americans?..strange..), but overall, not needed when the first one did such an excellent job of setting a mark...Plus, the gore was 50% tamer in this one(the best glimpse of terror was the 'Hannibal Lector' scene...That shit was gruesome...well, that and the 'ladies love the cock' scene, I gotta admit..)
So thanks Eli, it was okay...Capone, tried to say hello, but once the film ended there were geekboys everywhere, and that ain't my bag, baby...and it was funny, cause there was a huge-mammoth-looking suit from Lionsgate making sure only Hostel 2 viewers with passes got into the theater who stood inside the door right by my seat, letting people in and out, and the whole time I'm thinking, "This prick looks like he's from the fucking movie!"....funny....Be cool... -

Now that he's done guys in Hostel Part 1 and gals in Hostel Part 2, Eli Roth's storylines for Hostel Parts 3, 4, & 5 can now be revealed. Hostel Part 3: Three trannys go to Europe. There they meet a hot chick who gets them to stay at a hostel. Then they're tortured, two of them to death, but one escapes and gets violent revenge. THE END. Hostel Part 4 (this one's really a game-changer, after the completion of the first Hostel "trilogy"): Three castrati go to Europe. There they meet a hot chick who gets them to stay at a hostel. Then they're tortured, two of them to death, but one escapes and gets violent revenge. THE END. Hostel, Part 5: Three Clownfish (a species that can change genders) go to Europe. There they meet a hot chick who gets them to stay at a hostel. Then they're tortured, two of them to death, but one escapes and gets violent revenge. THE END. (I've heard rumors that Hostel Part 6 involves sea monkeys, but this has not yet been confirmed).

Oh yeah?.....didn't think I would piss anyone off...just being honest about the film and getting a chance to see a screener....I like the first onec (not to say that that's the ONLY type of film that I like...), but saw the second one as a retread of the first....A gulity pleasure that becomes extremely too cliche', which takes away from the original entity (tell me that you don't get that feeling when aftre you leave).....So I made a couple jokes here and there about what went on during the screening...so what, arrest me for bad humor...But I like films in general, both good and bad, and I can tell the difference between something that's a 'good film', and one that's just a 'good time' and fun (Hostel & Hostel 2 are in the latter categtory)....So I am never a 'target fuckhead'....that shit was just uncalled for....damn...
-
The flick was mediocre mostly. Piss poor in places.
But Eli Roth was a pretty cool guy. -
The funniest fucking thing, Mr. James, is that you bitched at lost.rules for misspelling your name, but you both consistently called me "Savedragoner." Oh yeah, I am sure you are Ernest Goddamned Hemingway. The way I talk has nothing to do with what country I am from, you racist prick, it has to do with who I am as an individual. Before you start criticizing a nation, you need to step up and say where YOU are from, so that we can all examine your country's creative exports. Trust me, I know many people from all over the world that talk a lot more monosyllablicly than I do. I'm an editor by day, and a published writer by night, for Christ's sake. As for our good friend Gabriel...well, it would really be too easy to insult you. I just want to make sure that Mommy knows you got out of the cage. Is there a number on your underwear that you can give us to call her?
-
they wouldn't want a piece of yours or mine. I fucking guarantee it. But we have each other and hey, lots of men love cock, too! <3
-
Hm, so some of you haters don't like it because it's sick and goes to far...yet others dislike it because it is weak and doesn't go far enough. It's almost as if...as if you were separate people...with individual tastes and dislikes...not a massive herd of mindless sheep...hmmmmm.....
-
I don't know why. Maybe it's because I have the maturity of a 12 year old.
-
I think it happened in Miss Congeniality 2, actually.
-
With all the goddamn torture and human trafficking going on in the world, this movie doesn't have a word to say in it's own defense. It's like a rape/revenge movie from the seventies - where scenes of graphic rape that are intended to be titillating are somehow justified when the female protagonist gets her revenge - except it's worse, because it's not the fucking seventies anymore. That scene with Bijou Phillips crying piteously, like a baby in a Romanian orphanage, and then that fucknut cuts her eye with a circular saw?
-
I know about the bashing of the 'bone', but it just seems to me that the majority of the time, movies that otherwise would have recieved poor reviews got the thumbs up from this site on account of certain friendships about which the Knowles man is rather boisterous. Case in point Texas chainsaw massacre remake. There's no excuse for how sad that movie is, especially given the source material it had to work with, but there is a certain severed head that leant towards that movies gushingly positive review on this site. Some things are a matter of taste. I can see how some people like certain movies that I don't like. Texas chainsaw remake is not one of them. It's flat out bad. You can prove it in a court of law.

WELL WELL! I TAKE IT YOUVE NEVER MET ME PROPERLY! ANY REAGULAR TALKBACKER WILL KNOW THAT IVE BEEN BANNED 8 TIME IN 3 DAYS FOR INSULTING PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF! WELL LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF IM ...

-
Yeah, I think I've 'met you properly.' I've been to the zoo many times. Look, Gabes, there's a reason you've been banned 8 or 9 or however many times you're claiming: because we don't want you around any more than your Momma and Poppa did. If you think I'm going to cry myself to sleep tonight because someone with the savage wit of a caveman is screaming at me with such confusing sentence structure that I don't even read half of it, well then, you sir (or madam or...thing...or whatever you go by) are sorely mistaken. But please, keep trying. I'm always delighted when an animal tries to learn a new trick, in your case, you know, speaking.
-
Oh yeah, that;s what I want to see in a movie. I want MORE TITS !!!
-
What do you mean, Gonzo? What 'racial handicap'???

-
That German chick was so hot in this movie, such beautiful eyes. But she doesn't even show as much as a single nipple. I give this movie 1 out of 10.
-
He needs to stop wasting his time with this "Hostel" garbage and make "Thanksgiving."
-
is Moriaty's alter ego, I bet you. Tanked up on Sunny Delight and Skittles, wanking himself silly into people's faces whilst laughing manically. Eli Roth is taking notes. Expect this to feature somewhere in Hostel III: Lots of cack.
-
...much like the people who will watch this crap. Wait...maybe they are? And whatever this talentless scumbag Roth comes up with : count me out.
-
YOU MAY BE RIGHT! BANG AND THE DIRT IS GONE! I LIKE YOU! I NOW DEFEND YOUR NAME SHOULD IT EVER GET SLANDERED!
-
CONTROLLING THE VOLUME! OF MY VOICE! AND WRITING IN! COMPLETE SENTENCES! AND NOT BEING! A COMPLETE DOUCHBAG! GABRIEL GRAY! I WOULDN'T TRY! TO GET THROUGH TO YOU! IF YOU WERE THE LAST! MORONIC IMBECILE! ON THE FACE! OF PLANET WASTE-OF-SPACE! AND YOU WERE NAMED! CHARITY CASE OF THE YEAR! Oh but wait, you probably didn't understand any of that. There weren't enough misspellings...

-
Should have stayed in film school with all the other rejects who should have never made movies.
-
To see such hatred being spewn about on an AICN board. That's precisely why I come here. I can't wait for Hostel : Part 2, and I can't understand why people would post on a topic they dislike. Especially frequently. If I don't find a movie interesting, I simply don't post in the forums. Then again... I'm better than 70% of you ;)
-
IGNORANT TALENTLESS SLUT ! I LAUGHED AND LAUGHED !
-
I so want to go ass to mouth you, you pretty little thing you
-
TALENTLESS
-
Sorry, to leave you alone with this fucktard SoylentMean. I had to leave my office to go home, two things that Gabriel does not have. I was there with you the whole time in spirit though. I just couldn't wait to get home and blast me a little more Gabriel Gray...
-
Haha. It's good to see that there are actually still people out here in the internet that can take a joke. And, you're right... I was being a bit leniant with the 70% as to not offend anyone.
It is my firm belief that anyone who accuses people that enjoy films of this nature (or horror films in general) of being psychos that jerk off to people being murdered are the ones with issues.
I have a vivid imagination, but I've never once thought of jerking off to a woman being mutilated... what DOES that say about some of these crusaders against so called "torture porn"?
Though I suppose it DOES take all kinds to make the world spin. -
U START FIRST !
-
Yo mamma is so fat...no, that one just doesn't work.
Yo daddy is so stupid...no, too easy.
You are so...God, what could I say to you that you haven't been hearing so much your whole life, that it has ceased to have any meaning? -
DUH DUH DUH!
-
IL LEAVE U WITH HIM!
-
is what ive heard true ? you have insulted a friend of mine ? pls tell ?
-
I will catch you all tomorrow provided that I'm not too hungover. It is late afternoon on a Friday night here in PA. Have a great weekend, everyone.
And always remember... If you disagree with me... then you are most likely wrong. -
There's a studio print of this movie online. You can watch this movie for free. You probably just want to see the gore and sex parts, well you can just fast forward right to them. That's awesome news, guys. Save ten bucks, and see this online. EARLY!
-
only i cant tell from your meandering waffle! i know gabriel can be a bit how to say! strong in his opinion! but he is intitled to it! i myself find him funny! and he has become somewhat of a legend on this site! i have personaly banned him 8 times in 4 days! thats commitment! and from what ive read mostly he has been right! I AM TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION AND I HAVE SPOKEN!
-
No, no, I wasn't calling you a fucktard. I was apologizing for leaving you alone with Gabriel, because we were both trashing him. No dude, I'm totally on your side.
-
Well, at least you found that caps-lock to turn it off, something that Gabriel couldn't do. And by the way, you stole 'meandering waffle,' from The Frighteners, didn't you? Go on, you can admit it. We'll give you a scooby snack if you're a good boy and let the adults talk...
-
are you on his side! pls tell me what gabriel has done to you! and i might not delete your profile! but be swift about it pls!
-
People are insulting hostel calling it torture porn. This isn't true. Nobody gets sexual kicks from viewing the gore in this movie. What hostel is, is an empty "horror movie" that opens with the least sexual sexuality i've seen in cinema devoid of any plot content. So what you've got is a bunch of poorly executed sex scenes that don't do the trick, and since there is no plot intertwined, it's essentially pornography. However, pornography is the real thing, so since thats all the movie tries to do at that point, you're better off buying and watching real porn. Then the movie moves onto the "horror" aspect. Again, no story, so we just see people being mutilated on screen... okay... so that's "snuff" right? Kinda, since its fake, it's a faggy sissy mary version of snuff. What it tries to offer doesn't amount to what you can actually get your hands on. I don't condone or promote snuff films, but if you are watching Hostel, and NOT a snuff film, then you are a pansy.
-
you will give me a scooby snack lol ok! no the DC frighteners is not radicaly different from the original i recomend the doc on the dvd aswell! HOWEVER IT SEEMS YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND ME! I LIKE GABRIEL ! and i do have a magic button! can we not get along nicely pls! this talkback was made for movie MEANDERING WAFFLE! and we here at AICN like to keep it clean! hence gabes banning yet again! so pls keep it clean and friendly! I AM TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION AND I HAVE SPOKEN!
-
i sent in a negative review...and i ALSO sent in a review of the FIRST hostel that you guys ran that was of the unfinished movie, which is EXACTLY like this one. There are like 2 changes that will be made, and thats one green screen scene and something minor with the cel phones. Everything is the same, so for you guys NOT to run the reviews smells. You also are saying the word on the film is positive, which is also not true. This site is becoming more and more under corporate control every single day. I knew u frauds wouldnt run a negative review this time around. I fucking KNEW IT.
-
and the guys here are cockboys for Roth. They wont post any negative reviews this time around. At least, they wont post any that say how BAD the film is because of how BAD it is, they will post the ones that say its bad because its "sick", therefore making it a "positive" review. YOu motehrfuckas are see thru. quit the antics and respond to me.
-
made me laugh! very good! more like that pls! and less hate!
-
This monster squad dvd is exciting not only because its gonna finally be on dvd, but 2 discs? What did we do to deserve such a royal treatment?
-
quints like that!
-
yet they have no problem posting those reviews? what in the flying fuck?
this site is a fuckin joke nowadays -
it wasnt a review, it was a vague endorsement of the film with no negative qualms whatsoever. Its compeltely vanilla. For him to type there are tons of tits and cock, is horrible and misleading. There are 2 shots of tits, one is so brief you might miss it, and the other is from the ugliest girl in the movie, while she is hanging upside down.Its HORRIBLE. bad movie. bad director. bad site.
-
he seems to know alot of injokes that we here at AICN are only privy to! theres been alot of debateing as to who it is...HMMMMM SO it seems we have a ROUGE IN OUR RANKS! you know who you are if your reading this! which i bet he is!
-
there is a booklet its 16 pages long with notes from the director and writer!
-
So, Hostel Part II is the logical next installment for this franchise? Shit, I thought that was part 3, maybe even 5.
-
I'd stick a camera on a cow and then send it through a meat factory. BAM! Hostel III, baby!
-
HA! HA! HA! ah yes the delicate tapestry of human weakness and triumph an original vision of world created by a modern master story teller. Yeah that or someone who kept thinking Law and Order SVU would be awesome if we could see each brutal violation in excruciating detail. I can't wait til this epic is reimagined by Peter Jackson and WETA
-
the word is rogue. rouge is makeup or it means red in french
-
You're offended by people orrecting your "grammer"? Like Kelsey Grammer, you mean? Do you have him tied up in your basement or something? Hey, Harry, can't you ban IP's and/or proxy servers?
-
thank u for you implecabley comet slory
-
YOU SHOULD READ MY POSTS! AND UNDERSTAND THAT GABRIEL GRAY ALTHOUGH CRUDE IS MY NEMESIS AND I HAVE BANNED HIM MANY TIMES but ilike him, oh and read my regarding GABRIEL GRAY he may be very hard to ban indeed PERMINATLY THAT IS! and my friend ive been working on this site long enough to know that if u carry on u shall be called such things as a NARC and they arnt popular round these parts!
-
i hope to god eli doesnt get to do it! yes that would work with ROMERO. but id like to see THE DARK TOWER MADE! KING AND THE BOYS BEHIND LOST ARE TALKING! king wants films they would like a series not unlike losts format! I PREFER THE LATTER! and it looks like cell is indeed roths next movie. BUT WITH ME HIS TRACK RECORD IS NILL ON ALL SCORES! includeing HOSTEL 2
-
HOW TO GET BANNED... by quint...by mirajeff...by vern...by moriaty...by harry... BY ME. but seriously just keep things respectable non racist no multiple posting or spaming. AND FOR GODS SAKE RUN FROM GABRIEL GRAY!
-
yes that is the right way forward! the books are to dence to filter down to seven two hour films! and some books are more filmable than others! and the problem with book 4 being a prequal! meaning having to change order! whoever does it has the task peter jackson did with lotr times ten! BUT I HAVE FAITH IN THE BOYS FROM THE ISLAND!
-
This review is a little too fanboyish. Hostel 2 was NOT that great. It's actually quite undeveloped and limp in most places, and can't focus enough on the girls / clients enough to make either really engrossing. I saw it a few months ago, and the way the climax ends still bugs me. Like, really? That's what makes the character go nuts? That?? Pfft, whatever. She's not likeable anyways.
-
ask GABERIEL GRAY! he is the multipost master! his best is! U IGNORANT TALENTLESS SLUT! times a thousand! and yes these talkbacks are viewed! IF YOU LEAVE A POST TO BE ANSWERED BY QUINT, VERN ECT ECT they will be answered if the comment deserves so! AND AS FOR WARNINGS that may be me! but u dont always get one! somtimes just cant help myself! ps dont expect any responces from harry! hes way above that! apparently
-
well lost has got an end date you do the math! it gives them plenty of time to get things rolling! my guess ;} is that they will start when lost ends! with maybe a brief crossover production! ps u will like this! http://www.freezedriedmovies.com/blog/index.php?/archives/141-New-Lost-Theory-Is-Jack-from-Gilead.html

about films like Hostel. You are not meant to enjoy what you see, it's supposed to make you squirm, freak out and gag on your own bile. The reason is that it's not traditional horror with traditional scares, maybe Roth is unable to create that kind of film. People watch horror films due to a desire to be scared shitless, we like the adrenalin rush it provides. This type of movie is designed to generate a more gut wrenching, visceral reaction to the horrors on screen. It's not meant to be enjoyed, if people DO enjoy what they see there is a huge fucking problem with them. I cant believe that people get turned on by this kind of stuff, I believe that most are disturbed by what they see and that any 'enjoyment' comes in seeing the 'hero' escape their fate. For the record, I enjoyed Cabin Fever but Hostel was very much a 'meh' experience. I think Roth is a talented guy, but it may be time for him to create a more 'conventional' horror film. Are people who watch this film and like it sick? Fuck no, certainly no more so than anyone who likes any other horror film. For anyone who thinks otherwise, think about any horror film you like and tell me there isn't a scene in it somewhere that you really got a kick out of, yet know you shouldn't. The fact is, it's ok to get a kick out of disturbing scenes, it's a natural reaction to the fact that you know your safe, that what your watching is fake, yet you can't help but shit yourself. If horror films weren't a thrill, no-one would watch them, it's just that some chose different methods to get the desired reaction. Tarring everyone with the same brush is bullshit of the highest order.
-
about MOVIES. they are ENTERTAINMENT. they are made to be ENJOYED. The Hostel movies arent enjoyable, and its not because of the violence, its because they are shitty movies with bad dialogue. Roth must think he is some kind of genius for this shit. No man, you arent a genius, someone was gonna do this, u just happened to be the first dickhead to do it. It just shows how shitty our entertainment has gotten, how bored people are when something like hostel can be successful.
-
Gabriel Gray should die. The Dark Tower is awesome. And AICN is certainly getting worse.
-
YES DARK TOWER IS AWESOME! and gabriel gray has died! many times! but he is persistant! and a talkback hot topic! isnt he seph_j
-
...who I KNEW had great tits, as proven in "Havoc" I have to ask...
Does Heather Matarazzo have a decent rack? I kinda' suspect she does.
She's no Megan Fox, but I'd hit it. -
like the shining, is enjoyable as fuck. there are all KINDS of disturbing images that make your skin crawl, and it all works together because the material is good. Hostel is just boring bullshit. People arent dissing Hostel because of the sick shit, its being dissed because as a MOVIE,well, now as MOVIES, they are retarded. and fuck that wanker shit.
-
I would have preferred the dvd cover art to be the original poster art. Its one of those great 80's movie poster paintings that loads every single character into it. A great looking painting.
-
the first time was a test screening with roth in the audience. dude is a slimy jerk in person as well. then i saw hostel 2 for free as well. so there is no "going to see it" in terms of paying. first time i was interested in what it MIGHT be, the second time i watched cuz it was like what the hell, id watch for free. get your mind right dummy. and if roth is gettin laid, its in the same way that bryan singer is gettin laid. by the ass.
-
and I will show you fucking horror. Then you all will proclaim me as totally insane.
-
saw hostel 1 for free. THEN saw hostel 2 for free. not one twice. learn how to read moon. i didnt see it AGAIN.
-
Sorry fella - but I gotta disagree with your comment that movies should be ENTERTAINING. First one that popped into my head was Schindler's List. An extremely well made film, but not entertaining - more educational. I'm sure others can think of better examples, but on the whole, just got to disagree with that.
-
bleak, but entertaining. good script, good actors, good pacing, over all well made film that was s site to behold. entertaining film. that also happeneed to be educational. movies made
-
i mean moron but my keyboard got stuck. hahahah moon. that does look silly.
-
wanking in the face also seems to be a hot topic in this place.... doesn't mean its worth doing now though does it. People like Gabriel Gray simply piss people off. Its not clear why we cant just totally ignore him. It seems that when scum bags draw attention to themselves, its natural for everyone else to shout 'scum bag' at them.
-
That might be the funniest thing I've ever read in a film review. Lots of cock. Christ, I think a small portion of wee leaked out of my own cock when I saw that one.In conclusion, more references to cock in reviews, please. Choosy filmgoers need to know - a little, or a lot?
-
My friends and I attended the Chicago screening the other night, very skeptical about Hostel 2 (mostly we went 'cause it was free and because of the Q&A afterwards). We agreed beforehand that we would likely not have spent money to see it in theatres, as we suspected it would be yet another lackluster sequel. But I've gotta say, we all enjoyed the hell out of it. THIS should have been the first Hostel! Roth finally has crafted a screenplay that somewhat matches his gifts as a director (and, yes, I consider him a gifted genre director; the problem, often, is his inability to write material worth filming). This is his best work yet, and one of the best horror sequels I've ever seen.
A couple of Q&A tidbits:
The screenplay for "CELL" will be finished this coming week (the first draft, anyway), and he'll give the writers notes once he's had a chance to take a break and read it. Also, he would like to make a feature comprised solely of trailers like "Thanksgiving", a sort of modern "Kentucky Fried Movie", which he figures he can do during breaks on other projects. Regarding other projects, he says he intends to catch up on sleep, as he's been working for three straight years; after "CELL" he's not sure what he wants to do...
Overall, a great evening, and a really cool, funny guy who stayed late and talked with everyone who cared to stick around. -
i've read that there sexual torture of girls in this one and im really not sure i can watch that kinda thing its just not for me
-
Yeah, 'cos everyone who loves torture porn ISN'T, in reality, a mentally stunted wannabe hardass who gets harder at the thought of torturing a woman than at the thought of fucking one... You know, Freud would look at this love of torture porn as symptomatic of an immature personality that seeks sexual pleasure in mutilating a woman above seeking pleasure in the actual sex act, because seeking sexual pleasure in the act of sex means actually being mature enough to understand that it ISN'T ALL ABOUT YOU, and that you need to share sexual and spiritual union with the other person. On the other hand, torture porn obsessives can't handle that level of giving and maturity, and so, much like kids who pluck the wings off dragonflies, get harder at the thought of penetrating the female through the use of various stabbing implements etc. This entails no maturity, no union (sexual, spiritual or otherwise) and no need to empathise with the person you're with - indeed, it requires the opposite. People who love torture porn basically are like spoiled six-year olds - if you say NO to them, they want to kill you. Loving torture porn IS sick, and there is no getting around it. That said, if I watched a scene where some torture porn lovers got tortured to death, I'd laugh my ass off. Psychology is way too complex to be wasted on this talkback, you sick little fucks ;D
-
Its a film trying its hardest to not have a script, plot or any actors. Without the torture there would be no film and people would see it for what it is. It needs that gimmick to pull in the audience even with the shitty reviews that will be coming. Its called weak film making.
-
u sir are an imposter and are not the real T F D, i have a new found respect for the real T F D. but pls dont pronounce yourself the real T F D. your simply not!
-
Can't see what anyone see's in these movies. I became curious and found the online print of the movie....ITS FUCKING AWFUL!!! I mean it's "straight to DVD" bad
-
SURE SURE OK
-
EVEN THO U HATE ME! i shall inform u theres a bootleg workprint on the net!
-
Isn't it?
-
read my name i tried with u! now fucking recieve my wrath
-
First of all, I just want to say that Eli Roth was very nice and went out of his way to entertain and accommodate everyone there despite being very tired. The whole experience was a treat.
In regard to the movie, it was very good. I can't imagine how someone can say that it isn't better than the first one. The funny was funnier, and despite anything anyone says the torture scenes were much more intense. It also seemed to manage to re-capture a lot of the charm Cabin Fever had that the original Hostel didn't. If you liked Hostel or Cabin Fever, don't miss this. -
No good tit shots AT ALL (one flash, and later, horrible torture boobs). Shitty beginning with Paxton (what a cheap cop-out) and kind of a shitty ending.
However the characterisation was excellent, the main actresses were fucking hot, and you kinda empathised with the bad guys. -
Enjoy your shit, shit-lovers.
-
And I liked the first one, truly I did. The payoffs, i.e. the baddies getting their appropriate comeuppance, were done very well. Even the odd little touches like the kids in the alleyway worked (at least to me). But not here. Someone above described Hostel 2 as straight-to-dvd bad, which is a pretty accurate description. Lemme tellya: there was a dvd horror flick I saw once called Andre the Butcher, starring none other than Ron Hedgehog Jeremy as the baddie. Surprisingly, the movie was funny as hell (intentionally so), and worked on every exploitation level imaginable. In fact, next to Hostel 2, it looks like an Oscar winner. And this is NOT a knock on Roth, who has done it right twice (if you count the Thanksgiving trailer) just as he's done it wrong twice. One tip for next time, E: if you're gonna have a guy get his dick ripped off by a pair of plyers, know this: he ain't exactly gonna be BIG at that point, nawm sayin'? I mean, it shoulda looked like a Planters Peanut, not Dirk Diggler. And who said the girls were hot? Yuck to all of em, especially Heather Mazzawhattever. Trust me: see Andre the Butcher.
