Look at these Hostel 2 images carefully and tell me they aren't stuffed with spoilers... or, possibly, they're cleverly constructed to mislead. The bottom one is giving me a real Countess Bathory vibe. In a few weeks, we'll see how right I am.
Thanks to Gray Digger for sending them over.
The Hostel 2 official site is now live. Hard to navigate - on my browser, at least - but live.
You can download the new Hostel 2 trailer right now. Remember to right-click and rename the filename to anything.wmv to get it to play.
Good trailer, isn't it?
The IESB have added two new Hostel 2 images to their gallery. Do they spoil anything? Judge for yourself...
There's something very creepy going on behind Heather, but all three of these new Hostel 2 images promise a pretty high level of scares. The costumes in the second and third might be seen as minor spoiler material, also. Dress me up dollies go fetish wear... and chainsaw.

[EDIT: These pics seem to have originated on a German site]
I think we can now safely assume that, in fact, the second Hostel film is largely located in Germany. There's the last few scenes of the first Hostel to take into account, for one thing; there's the German voice over on the teaser trailer; there's the new site set up at www.diehostel.de - not so much just a German site for the film as a fake site for 'the operation' in Germany, if you know what I mean. I like the site a lot, but I keep expecting it to suddenly make a really loud noise and for a big gruesome image to fill the screen - just like all of those 'watch closely for the ghostie' virals - so I haven't left it on for very long.
Of course, this may all be bluff to hide the big spoiler I've heard tell of. The spoiler had a good, clean source - but, personally, I'm starting to doubt it. I think Germany is very much where it's at. I think I was sent a deliberate piece of misinformation.
There's a new Hostel 2 poster too, but it's truly ugly. And not in a good way. It seems to be a bad photosphop blending of the previous images - the meat and the naked Bijou - so I assumed it was just a piece of bad fan work. Apparently not, however. Loads of sites are claiming this is official. If so, I'm very disappointed. This is a terrible poster.
Hostel 2 is released during June in most of the big territories.
Time Out have revealed that Bijou Phillips has joined James Murray and Raphael Coleman in the cast of It's Alive, a remake of Larry Cohen's mutant baby classic. Filming is now underway in Bulgaria, probably standing in for New York or some such.
This version is directed by Josef Rusnak who is quoted as saying "Some character elements and situations have been updated to reflect certain changes in society, but the script still preys on the genre's ability to explode the foundation of today's bourgeoisie" which just about made sense.
Why isn't Cohen directing the new version himself?
There's a very clear version of the Hostel 2 Bijou Phillips poster at Horror Movies. It isn't safe for work but is quite interesting indeed.
