Running this week at the Vue Cinema is Hostel Part II starring Lauren German, Roger Bart, Heather Matarazzo, and Bijou Phillips. Three female college students take a detour from their partying, enticed by a beautiful European woman who promises seclusion, safety and maybe even romance. What they get is a living hell where they are sold to the highest bidder who's fondest wish is to kill them slowly. Hostel 2 also follows 2 American men who, on the flip side of the coin, are willing to pay to join an exclusive club where a life will end at their hands...any way they like. This film contains very strong bloody violence and horror. (18)
