Fortunately, writer/director Eli Roth feels the same way and is a step ahead of the audience. “I never, ever intended to make a sequel to Hostel,” Roth explained at a preview screening, “But when the movie became Number 1 on opening weekend, beating out (Chronicles of) Narnia, it became obvious that Lionsgate would be pushing for a sequel, and I decided that if a sequel was ever going to be made, I had to do it myself – and right away. The themes explored in the first film were too of-the-moment and waiting on the sequel would spoil that.”

And though obviously appreciative of the effect of blood and gore in movies, he knows there’s a line between......
