Stars: Jay Hernandez
Where We Left Off: Three backpackers in Amsterdam are lured to an out-of-the-way hostel, where wealthy people torture, maim and kill unsuspecting tourists. Only one survives, Paxton (Jay Hernandez), who inexplicably returns in the sequel.
The Skinny: The WPID Meter (“White People in Distress”) is off the charts in the sequel to this bloody and scary original. Three White kids in, three out and the cycle begins again in Part II, where this time three college students are tricked into entering a hostel where the “hosts” like to torture, rape and murder. Following a geographical tour of Slovakia, three women are lured into a hostel by a handsome young man who sells them to the twisted masters, who tie them up and bring upon an unthinkable world of pain. If you have a stomach for this type of mayhem, this is the perfect movie for you!
Total Gross: $47.3 million – $47.3 million (Hostel)
Black Quotient: Blank
Prediction: Director Eli Roth took some time away from his horror franchise to produce a fake trailer (Thanksgiving) for Grindhouse. The first film made with a modest profit almost grossed $50 million. With heightened expectations, expect a modest gain. My prediction: $75 million (June 8)
This feature also appeared on BET.com.
