No Hostel 3 For Eli Roth
It came as no surprise to anyone that Hostel 2 got announced. I mean, when a guy is able to make a little film for UNDER $5 million dollars, and in turn it makes OVER $80 million worldwide… then you’ve have to be brain dead to not know a sequel would be on it’s way. And presumably a couple of more after that right?
Well, Hostel creator and director Eli Roth has announced that Hostel 2 will be the end of the line for him with the franchise. So we won’t be seeing a Hostel 3 with him involved. However, there’s probably nothing stopping the studio from going ahead without Eli to make 2, 3 15 more Hostel films as long as they can get some cash out of it.
It will all depend on how Hostel 2 does at the Boxoffice. But you can bet your ass… if Hostel 2 makes money… there will indeed be a Hostel 3 with our without Eli Roth. If it’ll be good or not is another discussion entirely.

eli roth did a good job with hostel (even though i liked cabin fever a little better) but i really dont know how long a series like this can last. Im hoping in the 2nd one we get background on the organization and not more random killing. hope part 2 is good and hope they dont turn it into a saw franchise and run out its welcome…
and gio did you see the new poster for hostel at comic-con? it was pretty cool..and sexy lol
peace…

I’m happy to hear that he’s decided to stop while he’s ahead. Hopefully some moron won’t take it upon themselves to carry on the Hostel franchise any further.

Oh, trust me Marina, they did it to SAW, they will do it to HOSTEL too. And they will fuck it up.

I’ve never seen this or Saw, and I never will. These movies that come out today aren’t SCARY, they are just glorified snuff films. I don’t want to pay money to watch people get chopped up with no tension or good scares. I haven’t been truly scared by a movie in a LONG time. Playing a bunch of loud music to make me flinch does not count. The last good horro movie I’ve seen wasn’t even a horror movie. It was Jaws. That movie tapped into every human’s primal fear of being eaten alive and milked it for all it was worth. I literally will not get into open water solely because of that movie. That movie is in my head. Saw can’t get into my head. Hostel can’t either, I bet.

Totally agree with Kristina! Saw, Wolf Creek and Hostel is not horror…its gorefest!
