Boy, talk about effective marketing. Just this poster alone for HOSTEL 2 makes me want to barf. Really, it's just a close-up of a steak but within the context of the movie, it gives me the heebie-jeebies in the best possible way. I'm still not sure HOSTEL really needed a sequel and whether it will be as effective as the original, but I'm certainly intrigued. As is the case with most edgy marketing pieces, this one sadly is not for the US. According to our friends at IGN, where the poster debuted, this is the international poster. BAH! C'mon Lionsgate, give us some of the good stuff stateside! HOSTEL 2 - sorry, ELI ROTH'S HOSTEL 2 - will be in theaters next summer. Click on the poster below to see the full image at IGN.

For those who kept saying that Tarantino shouldn't have his name there, it did actually help the first film. I can't forget the time I was in Blockbusters and a guy was very knowledgably telling his friend to rent Hostel because it was "Typical Tarantino and one of 'his' best films yet".
Idiot.
But anyway, I think this poster is stupid, especially having Eli Roths name, but I suppose he wants to get his name out there and become the next John Carpenter, which I hope he doesn't achieve, since so far, none of his movies have been any good in my opinion.

That has to be one of the stupidest posters ever. Just goes to show that not every international poster is inherently better than it's State-side counterpart.

but I guess that since most already know what hostel is posters don't matter, it's gonna be the same kind of stuff again.

I'm so sick...and i just love it.
No matter what "critics" says about Roth's movies, i think both Cabin Fever and Hostel were pretty effective, humble movies.
