I was very disappointed with the PQ of Hostel Part II on Blu-ray. Easily the worst I've seen. I'm not sure if it was intentional, as both Hostel movies have very dark colour schemes, but there are just some scenes that have either been transferred or encoded so badly that there's just no way on Earth that the filmmakers would have shot it like that. The awful transfer is most apparent in the scene with Lorna and the girls in their beds at night talking about wanting to go to the hot springs. Anyone else own this and are experiencing really bad PQ with it?

To those who don't own it, seriously think twice before buying it.

Not only horrible PQ, but a horrible movie to go along with it.

Both Hostel movies were made to be horrible movies. It's intended for audiences who enjoy pointless blood and gore. And also, I didn't notice the difference in the picture quality of how bad it was. But I gotta tell ya, the ending of Hostel 2 hurt my manhood

I really liked the first Hostel. I purchased Hostel II the day of release and is probably the worst BD that I still own.

I was not to fond of this title. Although, I loved the ending as sick as it was.

The movie is what you should expect.

sort of the same but flipped with girls

Another thing I forgot to mention, some of the 1080p Special Features featurettes look twice as good as the actual movie. Wonder why.

It was probably the director's intent to give the film a more gritty look.

Sky_Captain · 05-11-2008, 07:27 PM

They're both crap. The second just happens to be alot crapper. The female twist didn't work for me, I found it to be ridiculously tame. That silly TCM prequel even kicks the shit out of this crap.

cdot2four · 05-11-2008, 08:53 PM

I loved it. if your a horror fan u will like it. way better than 24 lol. My favorite part was when that girl who always plays a retard gets sliced up i cant stand her.
