New Hostel 2 Photos

Last January, writer/director Eli Roth terrified moviegoers with the blood-drenched Hostel, which catapulted to the top of the box office charts and became the first Number One film of 2006. One year later, Roth takes us back to where it all began, and deeper into the darkest recesses of the human mind.

In Hostel: Part II, three young Americans studying 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.

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?

Hostel: Part II stars Lauren German, Bijou Phillips, Roger Bart, Richard Burgi, Vera Jordanova, Heather Mattarazzo, Stanislav Ianevski andMilan Knazko It is scheduled to be in theaters on January 5, 2007, but I read recently that date may change.
