Hostel Part II Blu-ray
Director's CutSony Pictures | 2007 | 95 mins | Unrated | Oct 23, 2007
Hostel Part II(2007)Horror     Three young students from the U.S. taking classes in Rome set off for a weekend trip when they run into a beautiful model from one of their art classes. Also on her way to an exotic destination, the gorgeous European invites the coeds to come along, assuring them they will be able to relax and rejuvenate. Will the girls 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 from around the world who secretly travel here to savor more grisly pursuits? For more details about Hostel Part II on Blu-ray, see the Hostel Part II Blu-ray Review Starring: Lauren German, Roger Bart, Heather Matarazzo, Bijou Phillips, Richard Burgi Director: Eli Roth Hostel Part II Blu-ray, Video Quality  Surprisingly, after what was a very good transfer for the first film, Hostel Part II suffers from some annoying and unfortunate problems that did not plague the original. This is a dark transfer throughout, and flesh tones are on the dark side, and there is constant noise on screen for the majority of the movie. Darker scenes suffer form black crush at times. Even brighter, outdoor scenes, such as on a golf course, look faded, washed out, and uneven. Sometimes, flesh tones lighten up and the noise disappears. It's perhaps the most hit-and-miss transfer I have seen yet, more so than The Dirty Dozen if only for the fact this film was released theatrically only months ago. I have to wonder how much of this was intentional on the part of director Roth, and how much is due to a poor transfer. With the high quality of the other discs Sony is churning out, not to mention the quality of Hostel, I have to lean towards at least part of this being due to artistic intent, but some aspects such as the fleshtones and the noise can likely be attributed to the job transferring the film to Blu-ray. Hostel Part II Blu-ray, Audio Quality  This disc, like that of the original Hostel, is a joy to listen to. Presented with both a PCM uncompressed 5.1 soundtrack as well as a standard Dolby Digital 5.1 track, Hostel Part II's soundtrack is atmospheric, tense, heavy on the bass, and clear. The film makes good use of the surround speakers and creates a very immersive sound field that drags you into the movie. As with Hostel, Hostel Part II's best use of sound comes during the film's final act as once again the sounds of torture and terror--heavy, slamming iron doors, power tools, dripping blood, and the barking of dogs echoing in the dank corridors of the factory raise the tension of the film's scarier scenes considerably. There is nothing bad to say about this track. It's aggressive, heart-pounding, and fun. Watching this movie in the dark with the volume turned up is a terrifying experience!
