At [livejournal.com profile] ohnotheydidnt, they announced that "Hostel 2" is coming out. The discussion revolved around how it was just tits and gore, and it is does carry Quentin Tarantino's endorsement. The feminist-minded condemnation only made me more curious (and they really hate thin women there). I went to Amazon to find out about the first "Hostel."

Judging by the reviews on that page, the flick is about some Americans who go on a pleasure trip to Europe and wind up in hell (and I don't mean France):

To sum it up, the two guys are pretty much meat heads. They are only interested in having sex, doing drugs and, errr...well, having sex. It's basically because of the trio's sex-starved minds that leads them straight to Slovakia, where someone mentions you can pretty much "TAKE" whatever woman you want and do "WHATEVER YOU WANT TO THEM" when you get them.
How many young, red-blooded American men are not going to be drawn by that?!

On top of being a Tits & Ass fest, this is a gore film. These wild Slovak babes sell Americans to another sort of pleasure resort where people pay to be able to torture and murder them. As one of the reviewers describe it:

Lots of extreme gore and brutality ensue in what I would consider to be one of the most DISGUSTING films I have ever seen. I am NOT a connoisseur of horror or gore, but this movie really made me flinch and feel sick. I couldn't help but feel dirty after I finished watching this movie! There are scenes where fingers are chopped off with excruciatingly gory results, achiles tendons are sliced open and left gaping to the viewers mortified sight, eye balls are pulled out and left hanging on a screaming victims head only to be snipped off with a scissor (the snipped off eye ball oozing cream colored puss was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen), a guy is gagged with one of those S&M type ball-gag devices and he continually vomits and chokes on it, Throats are slit, body parts are chopped...hell, there is even a scene where a gang of what appears to be kids under the ages of 10 stomp in and crush two "bad guys" heads.
The main reason why I am blogging this movie is this note by the Amazon.com review:

The sardonic joke, of course, is that Americans are worth the most in this brothel of blood because everyone else in the world wants to take revenge upon them.
I thought this was noteworthy. I had never heard of this movie. I suspect Texas does not allow them, or at least not this far down south in Texas, even without the anti-American element. More disappointing is that it does not even make the premium cable channels these days. I am not that interested in seeing the movie, but I would not mind catching it on Cinemax some night, if they could forgo being so bland and safe in their offerings.
