Just watched it only because its a free preview month for Starz and Showtime, and I saw the first one years ago. Not totally into the whole blood and gore thing but every now and then.
I will say I actually liked hostel 2. It had some of the wierd hostel-style shit in it, but other than that, it actually had a good storyline for a horror movie. And the ending kinda shocked the hell outta me.
Go see it if you get the opportunity.
Lol, me and my friends watched Hostel one and two on a halloween marathon, and, dude, we were all sho9cked by the ending of the second!

That ending was freakin bad ass.
I think I prefer the first one to be honest. There were good and bad parts to both films, but the first was somewhat more original, in the way that everything was set up and what not; in addition, there were more boobs (I'd expect some of you would take that into account). ;)
