Hostel: Part II (2007)
What happened?
Was Eli scared to kill any girls here? This was quite a watered down approach to making a horror film I had ever seen. It felt like he was scared to have any women killed by men - and I'm a girl. I hope they don't make another one ever again.
The first one had more of a story and point to it. What was the purpose in bringing Jay Hernandez's character back just to kill him right away? The first film had scenes where it showed the killers taking the victims apart. None of that in this one with the exception of another chick sitting in a bath tub slicing away this weaselly little girl - even that didn't show much. The kids in the gang now appear to be a bunch of pussies that are afraid of a guy with a gun? Last film they were throwing rocks at two guys with guns. Another thing - people don't want to see a girl talking to some old guy in a mansion or talking to some guy at a party, they want to see the victims getting torn apart unless they thought this was PS I Love You.
There is no reason to see this film whatsoever. This is the first film severely watered down.
Sorrows Lost (2005)
this movie was incredibly beautiful and emotional
After reading several comments, I felt I had to add in my two cents as well. "Sorrow Lost" is one of the most memorable shorts I think I have ever seen. I had gotten the chance to see this at the New York Independent Film Festival. I felt that this movie was incredibly beautiful and emotional. The story was beautifully complex - especially for such a short amount of time. The story is focused on a young girl who is victimized by her abusive father. She is soon given the choice to "stop" him by a demon played by "Witchblade's Eric Etebari." Having watched the show, I was amazingly impressed with how he played such unique and different character. I never knew he could act so well! His character was deeply complex and he was very persuasive. The acting was absolutely superb by him. The girl's was okay and the father's was decent. There is also death in this who follows the girl around until she is able to escape from her future. The effects and cinematography were absolutely mind blowing. I wonder if they had at least a hundred thousand budget for this. It is rare you get to see such a high quality short. The opening was absolutely breathtaking comparable with any major feature film. This isn't to say that it's not without its flaws - I thought it took a little to get going and the intro was a little long. But this stuck in my head days after watching it. There are very few shorts with this level of quality.
