Advertising Quote by Eli Roth
“The censors were great. There's always back and forth. But it's 'Hostel 2', it's not 'Happy Feet 2'. Everybody knows what Hostel is and people that are going to see it are going for more of what they loved in the original. No one is accidentally going to walk into it, no parent is accidentally going to take their child, and we're not pretending what it is in the advertising. We're saying it's very violent, it's very scary and a continuation of the first one.”

![“I started the film [Hostel Part II]with the girls in an art class and there's a nude male model. People think that women are objectified, well here you go! Here's a man being objectivized but now it's under the guise of art.” quote by Eli Roth](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/956/eli-roth-2841_art_i-started-the-film-hostel-part-ii-with-t_34257.jpg)
