Oh yeah, I think Hostel II is better than I. The first one is more like "You treated the women as bodies you rent to do things to, and now you're the one who's the whore!" but it's not getting into it as much. The girls in the second one are also smarter than the guys--the guys could have escaped but stay behind because they have to have sex with girls one more time.
But with the girls there's all this other stuff going on--they're lured there with promises of safety, and you have those creepy guys on the train. But it's also got a really clear message: Rich people suck. Or rather, rich people get to decide who lives and who dies. So even though you can see certain things coming that just makes it satisfying. Like, just like you know beforehand that the guys are really going to kill the girl, you also know that she's got more money than they do, and that matters more than sex.
