Hostel Part II begins with three female college students, Beth, Lorna, and Whitney in Italy, discussing how they're getting tired of their party-girl lifestyles. After an encounter with a mysterious model, the girls are convinced to stay at a spa in a tranquil Slovakian town.

Unbeknownst to the girls, their passport details are keyed into an auction website as soon as they enter the 'spa'. After one of these girls is bought, the facility owners will kidnap her and send her to the highest bidder, who will then commit any deplorable act he desires on his latest purchase.

It didn't seem possible but the director, Eli Roth, somehow forged a sequel more disturbing than its predecessor. Even though Hostel helped popularise the term 'torture-porn,' the follow-up's gore is more gruesome and sadistic.

On top of that, the writing is smarter and snappier, making it all the more harrowing when one of these girls meet their maker in a grotesque fashion. Although Hostel made you think twice about going backpacking around Europe, Hostel Part II makes you think twice about leaving the house ever again.
