Elizabeth Báthory: Hostel: Part II (2007)

Eli Roth’s 2007 sequel may be known as a feminist version of his notorious and groundbreaking film Hostel, but its most memorable scene is pulled from a centuries old true crime story. The cinematic Mrs. Bathory (Monika Malácová) may occupy a single scene, but does the real life inspiration for this bloodthirsty character inform other aspects of Roth’s disturbing story? Joe and Jenn discuss the historical connections, socio-political messages, and surprising restraint of what is arguably Roth’s most successful film. Wanna connect with the show?
