Synopsis

Last January, writer-director Eli Roth terrified moviegoers with the blood-drenched Hostel, which catapulted to the top of the box office charts and became the first number one film of 2006.  Now, Roth picks up where he left off, and goes deeper into the darkest recesses of the human mind. In HOSTEL PART II, three young Americans studying abroad in Rome set off for a weekend trip when they run into a beautiful model from their art class.  Also on her way to an exotic destination, the gorgeous European invites the co-eds to come along, assuring them they can relax and rejuvenate. Will the women find the oasis they are looking for?  Or are they poised to become victims for hire, pawns in the fantasies of the sick and privileged around the world who secretly travel here to savor more grisly pursuits?

With Hostel, Eli Roth cemented the cutting-edge credentials he earned with his debut feature Cabin Fever (2002).  In HOSTEL PART II, Roth invites fans to take another frightening trip where suppressed urges – once unleashed – have chilling consequences.  Presented by Quentin Tarantino, the film stars Lauren German (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Bijou Phillips (Almost Famous), Heather Matarrazo (Welcome to the Dollhouse), Roger Bart (TV’s Desperate Housewives), and Richard Burgi (TV’s Desperate Housewives).
