Hostel II

Hostel II is a 2007 film directed by Eli Roth and produced by Quentin Tarantino. The main characters are Beth (Lauren German), Whitney (Bijou Phillips), Lorna (Heather Matarazzo), Axelle (Vera Jordanova), Sasha (Milan Kňažko), Todd (Richard Burgi), and Stuart (Roger Bart). Beth, Whitney and Lorna are art student in Italy. They meet Axelle, a nude model they are sketching. Axelle to join her on a vacation to a spa in a small Slovakian village. They checked into a local hostel, where the desk clerk uploads their pictures from their passport to an auction website. The auction website allows men to bid for women they are interested in.
At the village, they had a "Harvest Festival". Beth and Whitney meet Todd and Stuart. Todd and Stuart bought the two women at the auction website. Lorna becomes intoxicated and goes on a boat ride with Roman, a stranger she met at the festival. During the boat ride, he kidnaps her. When she wakes up, she is naked and is chained upside-down in a large room. A woman enters and slowly kills Lorna by cutting her and slitting her throat.
Beth realizes something is wrong with the hostel. While in the spa, she sees several men approaching and surrounding her. Scared, she leaves the spa and runs through the forest. Axelle and a man named Sasha finds Beth and takes her back to his mansion. When they arrived at the mansion, Beth realizes Axelle and Sasha are responsible for the kidnapping of her friends. She tries to hide and discovers a room filled with heads. She realizes they were set up by Axelle to be bought and killed by men in a group called Elite Hunting. Each member of the group is given an Elite Hunting tattoo. When a member buys a woman, they try to torture the woman and make her suffer as much as possible. Beth realizes Stuart bid for her and has to figure a way to escape before she is tortured to death.
The violence in Hostel II is nauseating and disturbing. The Elite Hunting allow men to kill people for pleasure. They target on women because men are physically stronger than women. They treat women like an item on Ebay. In Canada, women were not consider "persons" until 1929, after The Famous Five won the "Person's Case".
The violence in the movie is exaggerated, and it does not happen in reality, but it shows how men abuse women to solve conflicts. In the movie, these men were rich people with anger and aggression and killed women to release their rage and have pleasure killing them. In reality, men abuse women because they "believe that they have the right to enforce their will on their female partners (Neighbours Friends and Families)." Most abusive men actually love their women and they abuse their love ones because of their own problems, and not because of the actions of the victims.
