Lo so che in fatto di horror ho troppe pretese: alle volte mi capita pure di pensare che un
Filme de Ppaura® debba addirittura spaventare...
Avevo già recensito
il primo Hostel giudicandolo una invereconda porcata senza trama, senza suspense e per giunta diretto da un totale inetto (no, l'essere amico di
Quentin Tarantino non rende
Eli Roth un regista).
Uno si immagina che toccato il fondo si debba per forza risalire; zio
Eli ha scelto di
scavare, con
Hostel: Part II.
Quattro più o meno belle figliole vanno in vacanza in
Slovacchia, dove - pensate un po' - finiranno vittime del nostro ben noto HOSTELLO.
Pattume: diretto col culo (e non mi si dica che è una cifra stilistica: queste sono
emorroidi cinematografiche allo stato puro!), con una trama che fa pietà e nessuna tensione.
Prima di vedere un morto passano secoli; le torture fanno sbadigliare e stavolta non c'è neppure
fan-service sufficiente per distrarre gli spettatori maschili dagli altri difetti del film.
I dialoghi, in compenso, fanno pena.
Ancora una volta viene riproposta la visione becera degli europei (se nel primo poteva essere una mezza novità, qui risulta solo patetico autocitazionismo), e stavolta si passa ogni segno: se la Slovacchia ha tutto il diritto di dichiarare guerra al signor Roth, l'Italia non ci fa una figura migliore, con i burinazzi cafoni che le signorine incontrano sul treno.
A questo proposito, mi sento di dire dal profondo del cuore ad Eli Roth:
NOI C'AVEMO TOTTIGOL! PIPPO-PIPPO-PIPPOMIO! FORZALAZZIO! C'AVETE SOLO IL COLERA! VIOLAMERDA! AMERIKANI HAMBURGER-DAVIDBECKAM-BASEBALL-MERDA! POPOPOPOPOPOOOPOOO! POPOPOPOPOPOOOPOOO! CAMPIONI DEL MONDO! CAMPIONIDELMONDO! CAMPIONIDELMOOONDO!!! 
Errr... ok, sono calmo.
Ho già detto che Hostel II fa cagare enormi stronzi neri mangia-uomini? (citazione dotta).
No perché ci tengo si sappia...
Ah, la
Fenech fa una comparsata, e francamente non ce ne potrebbe fregare di meno: peggio per lei.

Hostel: Part II (2007)
Regista: Eli Roth Scrittore: Eli Roth,
Eli Roth Genere: Horror, Thriller
Valutazione: 5.5/10 (13108 voti)
Durata: 93 min
Paese: USA
Lingua: English
Cast:Trama:Three female college students take a detour from their partying, enticed by a beautiful European woman who promises seclusion, safety and maybe even romance. What they get is a living hell where they are sold to the highest bidder who's fondest wish is to kill them slowly. Hostel 2 also follows 2 American men who, on the flip side of the coin, are willing to pay to join an exclusive club where a life will end at their hands...any way they like. It's a story of human monsters and the almighty dollar as only Eli Roth could tell it.
Trivia random: Jay Hernandez's corpse is reused from Eli Roth's Thanksgiving trailer in Grindhouse (2007).

Roth, Eli
Nome di battesimo: Roth, Eli Raphael
Data di nascita: 18 April 1972
Altezza: 6' (1.83 m)
Ultimi lavori: Biografia:Eli Roth began shooting super 8 films at the age of eight, after watching Ridley Scott's "Alien," and deciding he wanted to be a producer/director. Roth made over 50 short films with his brothers and friends before attending film school at N.Y.U., where he won a student Academy Award and graduated Suma Cum Laude in 1994. He worked in film and theater production in New York City for many years, doing every job from production assistant to assistant editor to assistant to the director. By the age of 20 Roth was development head for producer Fred Zollo, and eventually left to write full time. To earn his living, Roth did budgets and schedules for such films as "A Price Above Rubies" and "Illuminata," and often worked as a stand-in, where he could watch the director work with the actors. In 1995, Roth co-wrote "Cabin Fever" with friend Randy Pearlstein, and the two spent many years unsuccessfully trying to get the film financed. Roth left New York in 1999 to live in Los Angeles, and within four months got funding for his animation series "Chowdheads." Roth and friend Noah Belson (Cabin Fever's "Guitar Man") wrote and voiced the episodes, which Roth produced, directed and designed. The episodes were due to run on W.C.W.'s #1 rated series "Monday Nitro," but the C.E.O. was fired a day before they were scheduled to air, and the episodes never ran. Roth used the episodes to set up a stop motion series called "The Rotten Fruit," which he produced, directed and animated, as well as co-wrote and voiced with friend Noah Belson. Between the two animated series, Roth worked closely with director David Lynch, producing content for the website davidlynch.com. In 2001, Roth filmed "Cabin Fever" for a shoestring budget of $1.5 million, with private equity he and his producers raised from friends and family. The film was the subject of a bidding war at the 2002 Toronto Film Festival, eventually going to Lion's Gate, instantly doubling the "Cabin Fever" investors' money. "Cabin Fever" went on to not only be the highest grossing film for Lion's Gate in 2003, but the most profitable horror film released that year, garnering critical acclaim from The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Empire Magazine, and such filmmakers as Peter Jackson, Quentin Tarantino, and Tobe Hooper. Roth used the "Cabn Fever"'s success to launch a slew of projects, including "Scavenger Hunt," a teen comedy he will write and direct for Universal Studios, and "The Box," a horror thriller he is co-writing with Richard Kelly that Roth will direct. In May of 2003, Roth joined forces with filmmakers Boaz Yakin, Scott Spiegel, and Greenestreet Films in New York to form Raw Nerve, LLC, a new production company that will produce 3-5 intense, scary, lower budget horror films annually.
Trivia random: Paid for his student films by working as an on-line sex operator for Penthouse Magazine, back when only doctors and scientists were on the internet. Subscribers paid $30 an hour to have sex with Roth and his N.Y.U. friends, thinking they were gorgeous Penthouse models. Roth claims that these experiences inspire many of the characters he writes today.
Citazione random: "Hype can be the best thing in the world, but too much of it can kill you. There's this weird balance between getting people excited to see the film, and not wanting to over-hype it to the point where they can't enjoy it because they've been told it's so great. "Cabin Fever" was definitely a victim of that, and people got really angry if it didn't live up to their expectations that they read on the Internet. The truth is, with movies like "Hostel" and "Cabin Fever," the Internet's our only shot. They don't have the big stars like "War of the Worlds," and they don't have the advertising dollars that these films do. Studios can spend $30-$40 million marketing a movie. How do you compete with that? You have to find a way to get fans to support your movie, and the Internet's the only way to reach them directly without a huge budget. However, the danger is that if you catch that hype wave and people are excited, you have crazy expectations to live up to. People's enjoyment of a movie is directly related to what their expectations of that movie are. If they heard "Cabin Fever" was some weirdo low budget scary/funny indie movie that got a distribution deal at a festival, they tended to like it much more than people who heard it was the second coming. The other danger is that people get sick of you - fast, and I know people out there are tired of reading about me."

Tarantino, Quentin
Nome di battesimo: Tarantino, Quentin Jerome
Data di nascita: 27 March 1963
Altezza: 6' 1" (1.85 m)
Ultimi lavori: Biografia:In January of 1992 a film titled Reservoir Dogs (1992) hit the Sundance Film festival. The writer-director was a first-timer by the name of Quentin Tarantino. The film garnered critical acclaim and the director became a legend in the England, UK and the cult film circuit. Two years later he followed up 'Dogs' with the film Pulp Fiction (1994). 'Pulp' premiered at the Cannes film festival, where it won the coveted 'Palme D'Or' the virtual equal of the Best Picture at the Academy Awards. At the 1995 Academy Awards, 'Pulp' was nominated for the Best Picture Oscar, also for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay, among others. Tarantino and writing partner Roger Avary came away with the award only for Best Original Screenplay. In 1995, Tarantino directed one fourth of the Anthology Four Rooms (1995) with friends and fellow auteurs Alexandre Rockwell, Robert Rodriguez, and Allison Anders. That film was released on December 25th in the United States to very weak reviews. This is mainly due to the heavy cutting of the first two segments and the introduction which make much of the plotline unintelligible, and creates a complete mess out of the second segment, directed by Alexandre Rockwell. The best two segments of the film are Robert Rodriguez's and Tarantino's. Tarantino's next film was From Dusk Till Dawn (1996), a crime/vampire film which he wrote and co-starred with George Clooney. The film did fairly well theatrically.
Trivia random: First noted screenplay was titled "Captain Peachfuzz and the Anchovy Bandit," which was written in 1985.
Citazione random: "I'm never going to be shy about anything, what I write about is what I know; it's more about my version of the truth as I know it. That's part of my talent, really - putting the way people really speak into the things I write. My only obligation is to my characters. And they came from where I have been."
