The only problem i had with the first one was the makers reluctance to show real gore. He teased playfully, giving plenty of foreplay, but never getting down to do the dirty. The eyeball scene was about the goriest shot, and even that’s been seen a thousand times.
The first hostel promised the earth, like an eighteen year old desperate to lose his virginity by telling the girl he’s fantastic in bed, but never really delivered, just like the virgin, leaving us all somehow dissatisfied.
I can only hope the second one does a better job of delivering genuine shocks.
