![]() She trips over a trip wire looking up she is surprised to see Beth (now a member of Elite Hunting herself) standing over her. She chases after them following them into the woods. Later that night, Axelle begins partying at the annual harvest festival with some presumed new victims when suddenly her handbag is jacked by the street children. She treats her wounds and allows her to lie down in bed long enough for two large men to arrive and allows her to be kidnapped. Axelle and Sasha rescue her and brings her back to a mansion owned by Sasha. ![]() She is approached by thugs and runs off being ambushed by the impoverished street children who begin beating her with sticks. Beth drifts off and falls asleep waking up hours later to an empty spa. The next day, they all relax in a hot bath at the spa believing Lorna must have spent the night with the Russian man since she never returned the night before. When Lorna runs off with a Russian guy, Axelle volunteers to stay behind and wait for her to return. The four of them arrive in Slovakia and go to the harvest festival. They allow her to bunk with them in their cabin and she invites them to join her to a spa in Slovakia. She is seen again on the overnight train in the bar buying Beth a drink and later on stopping a man on the train from robbing Lorna of her ipod. Whether she is genuinely lesbian or bisexual or is doing this as a way of enticing Beth to her death is open to interpretation. Axelle flirts heavily with Beth throughout the film. She introduces herself to Beth offering to buy one of her sketches off of her. Despite her outward courtesy and friendliness, Axelle in reality is a cold and ruthless woman who has no qualms about luring in innocent victims to be kidnapped and murdered by wealthy clients.Īxelle is first shown as a nude model that Beth, Whitney, and Lorna are sketching. She is a high-ranking member of Elite Hunting and Outfitting, answering directly to Sasha Rassimov. She is the one who orders Paxton's head to be collected after he killed her long time friends Natalya and Svetlana. ![]() One of the best films of 2005.Axelle is the main antagonist of " Hostel Part II". Oh and there is copious amounts of extremely well done gratuitous nudity and sadistic gore. The leads are unlikable in a fun rather than irritating way (not easy to do) and the film has both a wonderful energy and plentiful surprises. ![]() (I generally have hated the whole torture motif in modern film for example Rest Stop.) Roth unlike his contemporaries shows the gore without those annoying zooming camera tricks. The movie actually makes torture scenes enjoyable again. What they find is, well I won't spoil it for you but they should have stuck with the marijuana brownies and overpriced Dutch hookers. They hear about a nirvana for sex and drugs in Slovakia and they pursue it as if they were traversing the Himalayas to find Shangri-La. The film starts with two American college students and an Icelandic hanger on enjoying some debauchery in Amsterdam. Thus he produces a film that could have been lensed in the freewheeling year of 1975 rather than PG-13 stuffy year of 2005. Director Eli Roth (Cabin Fever) has scored a bull's eye simply by going back to what makes exploitation films great.
