yes a terentino movie:bigsmile:

[GothamCity_hXc]

Looks awesome, i like in the little quote on the page it says "Tense", i love tense movies.

Plus, Eli Roth has maaaaajor potential.

[FstFtsVsFences]

This will bring the intensity Saw II should have brought.

[TJ.Wells]

yes a tarantino movie:bigsmile:
OK i'm getting sick of them doing this. All he did was produce the movie. When Sin City came out, they made sure his name was up there in huge writing...all he did was direct one short scene (Dead Benecio Del Toro talking to Clive Owen in the cab). Odds are you won't be able to notice any Tarantino trademarks in this movie.

However, it does look like the shit. I cannot wait for this movie.

Did he even produce it? I know he has a deal with Miramax where if he likes an indepent-ish movie he can get them to release it with his name on it...ie, Hero. That was big in Japan he had Miramax bring it over and it was Quentin Tarantino presents:

But its really annoying. Don't try to get me to see a movie for a name...

IMDB.com says that he was an executive producer, but i've heard in DVD commentaries that sometimes they just toss shit like that on there to give a movie more credibility.

[theMATEOlife]

anyone seen the previews for this new tarantino flick?


gotta see it.

[irthesteve]

it looks sweet

[Ratherbedead22]

takashi miike is an actor in it.

[fluke182]

It isn't a Tarantino flick, it's an Eli Roth film. Also, Tarantino tossed his name on as an executive producer AFTER it was made, because he thought it was good. It was more or less just trying to help a baby picture get big, and Eli Roth was the guy who made Cabin Fever. So you know this will be ridiculous. And sickly entertaining.

Edit: From IMDB directly, "The trailers bill the movie as "inspired by true events." Director Eli Roth says that he found a Thai website that advertised itself as a "murder vacation," offering users the chance to torture and kill someone for the price of $10,000. Roth later showed the site to Quentin Tarantino and the two developed the idea for the film. Tarantino and Roth said later on an Icelandic talk show that they have no idea if the website was real or not."

ya my first post was more sarcasm then anything.......i don't really ever go to movies becasue of all the teenage brats that talk through them (this year i only saw Capotie, Land of the Dead and Meet the Fuckers). But if i do happen to see it for some reason, you'll be the first one i tell.

As for the movie itself the comparisons i've heard are to Blair Witch, which is, without a doubt, one of the greatest horror movies made in recent times. But it is also one of the most hated movies around by people who 1) don't generally like horror movies, and 2) don't understand the values and positive "faults" of independent films. And i'd be willing to bet Wolf Creek follows into a similar category.

I dunno man. Blair Witch was really suspenseful and moody. I like the movie alot and generally scoff at people who don't. I don't see any comparison of the two whatsoever.

It's one of those movies where people are being ushered out from nausea and ambulances are being called.

This is one of those movies worth going in blind for. Cabin Fever was so good and fresh that i really doubt Roth could let anyone down.

absoutely not, some movies are just better going in blind too. Horror films particuarly are better that way since most are guess who done it's or shock fest. Take away the eliment of suprise and you take away one of the best parts of horror moives (not to say all suprises are good, high tension, but i think you understand).

[Justin_stacy]

its paid name recognition. Low budget movies do it all the time. Wes Craven alone has made a side career out of it.

hostel on the other hand looks badass.

[Justin_stacy]

Cabin Fever was awful.

It was actually one of the best horror release's of 02' (and a directorial debut), and this in a year that saw many good genre films. It was also probably the best example of the hickploitation/slaher genre seen since the late 70's.....although that "genre" isn't to ever ones liking.

Only a hand of directors have had better starts then Roth; Craven, Romero and Hopper......

But for now all I remember is a stupid plot with characters you don't give a shit about, that blonde kid doing spinkicks and then biting someone, and ripping off the end of Night of the Living Dead. Horror is supposed to be scary... Cabin Fever put me to sleep.

Reel.com Review: 2/4 stars

2006 gets off to a gruesome start with Hostel, Eli Roth's blood-splattered follow-up to his 2003 sleeper hit, Cabin Fever. Heavy on the gore but light on bona-fide scares, this reasonably well-directed piece of schlock is yet another horror flick about sadists preying upon clueless twentysomethings—in this case, three horndog buddies backpacking across Europe. Although Roth has a flair for creating an atmosphere of nightmarish dread, he's far less adept at developing sympathetic characters who talk in anything but "dude-speak." Of course, Hostel's target audience won't care one whit about such failings, once the extremely graphic torture scenes begin. But if explicit bloodletting's not your idea of quality entertainment, this picture will only succeed at turning your stomach.

Filmed in the Czech Republic, Hostel stars Jay Hernandez and Derek Richardson as Paxton and Josh, two crass American party boys out for good times and loose women in Europe. With their obnoxious Icelandic friend, Oli (Eythor Gudjonsson), in tow, they hop a train for remote Slovakia, where they'll supposedly find a hostel filled with wanton, East European beauties "hot" for Americans. And sure enough, Paxton and Josh hook up with Natalya (Barbara Nedeljakova) and Svetlana (Jana Kaderabkova) within minutes of arriving. But, as all three backpackers quickly discover, there's a horrific price to pay for staying in this hostel, where many check in, but few ever leave.

According to the film's press notes, Roth loosely based his grisly narrative on an actual business in Thailand that he ran across online. Whether or not this Thai website is genuine or just an especially sick Internet sham, Hostel does tap into viewers' anxieties about being alone and vulnerable in a foreign country. And while Roth's film doesn't paint the most inviting portrait of Slovakia for tourists, it was an inspired decision to set the film in an economically depressed, former Soviet bloc country that hasn't quite shed its forbidding "Iron Curtain" image for Westerners. The Slovakian village we see in Hostel is a grim, corrupt town populated by street gangs of feral children, amoral femme fatales and stone-faced thrill killers; it's enough to make one long for the good ol' days under Stalin.

Yet even though Hostel is certainly better than last year's Saw II, it's ultimately not very frightening—just plain gross. It's not a film that gets under your skin or haunts your dreams, like the classics of the horror genre, which often suggest, rather than show the nightmarish fate of the protagonists. Roth displays no such restraint in his film, which features scenes that would probably make the Marquis de Sade blanch (there have been reports of audience members fainting at preview screenings). Nor are there many surprises here, save for Roth's merciless treatment of the only vaguely likable characters. At least there are a couple of moments of morbid humor, thanks to a cameo by Rick Hoffman as a particularly "Ugly American" abroad.

Executive produced by grind house film devotee Quentin Tarantino, Hostel is strictly for the hardcore blood and guts fan.

[FstFtsVsFences]

That was intense as fuck. I loved it.

[fluke182]

Looks interesting. I enjoyed the hell out of Cabin Fever, it was insane and senseless, but fun to watch. Hostel does not look fun to watch, it just looks fucked up. But yeah, I wouldn't say Roth had the best start to a career ever, or even in the top 10, 20, 30, whatever. Making an entertaining B movie as your first movie isn't that impressive, and was done significantly better by Sam Raimi with Evil Dead.

This movie...

Was the biggest waste of time since Dark Water.

The way they marketed it, was all wrong. From the previews you think it's going to scare the fuck out of you the entire time.

Instead, you get tits and the word "f ag" for an hour. And killing scenes that were not as bad as the made you think for like, 10 minutes. If they really had ambulances for people during the first showing like they said, then the person obviously died of boredom, because this movie was just godawful.

[Adeniz19]

the first half was as boring as fuck. the ending was kick ass.

Waste of my money.

Oli was the best part. The ending as most of it was far too predictable and it went for the gross out factor instead of telling an actual story.

I laughed almost the whole way through.

[A picasso blue]

why? just wondering. what did you think about it was great?

[fluke182]

Not surprisingly polarizing the audiences.

[DaveFeelsRight]

Hostel Was Fucking Amazing

[FOBcareemo]

it was really fucking awkward to watch with my girlfriend...the gore was eh.. the eye thing looked stupid i give it a D+

[theESCO]

I thought it was pretty bad ass. I went in expecting semi-pointless gore, and that's what I got. I think every show was sold out. At the 12:40, the one I went to, they had to open up an extra screen or two to run it on there was so many people.

[brass buttons]

why? just wondering. what did you think about it was great? first of all, i enjoyed the first half hour or so that a lot of people are complaining about. sure it was a lot of tits, but it had the same kind of humor that cabin fever had (which i loved). and it was important in setting up the plot and giving us information that would make sense when the movie came full circle in the end.

the rest of the movie was great horror at its best. the last half hour completely kicked my ass, i loved every second of it. the movie also has a good message, which i think a lot of people miss.

i'm pretty sure i liked this movie more than saw 1 and 2.

[AreTwoKay]

The end of this movie was sweet.

[theESCO]

If you actually think about it. The first part of the movie shows that they are really no different than the people who pay to torture someone. It wasn't just pointless titties.

I agree. I'm not sure if I liked it more than Saw 1, but I liked his mix of humor and horror in this much more than in Cabin Fever.

[DroppedUrPocket]

It ruled.

[Kif]

From a review I read on Movies Made Me Do It, a site I trust heavily with horror films, this movie isn't getting anywhere near me. It sounds dreadful and purely there for the gore effect with no real plot.

[A picasso blue]

I agree. I'm not sure if I liked it more than Saw 1, but I liked his mix of humor and horror in this much more than in Cabin Fever.
Cabin Fever did have some funny lines. dunno i it was meant to be or it was just the worst script ever:


"He came to us for help, and we lit him on fire!!"

[DaveFeelsRight]

IS it just me or does anyone else don't remeber any funny lines in Cabin Fever?

[brass buttons]

IS it just me or does anyone else don't remeber any funny lines in Cabin Fever?

"Why would you wanna kill squirrels?"
"'cause they're gay."
"Bert, don't be a fucking retard."
"I'm kidding. I don't care if they're gay or straight, I'll kill 'em either way."

[EnderDove]

"Oh that, that's for the ******'s".

That line became even more hilarious at the end.

[dretti]

this movie was a great break from the endless piles of shit that the ring created.

Quit being drama ***s. Titties make movies. Be honest.

[dretti]

Haha. Wow. And here is the target audience for the movie, ladies and gents!

I was kidding. I apologize EmoPunkKid28.

[EmoPunkKid28]

It's cool, I wasn't really offended. And hey, at least you enjoyed the movie. Glad someone got their moneys worth.

[GoWaitInTheCar]

Its looks like it can be all style no substance. However it does have the trailer for WWE wrassler Kane's movie before it.

I thought I was the only one who noticed that! Props to you.

[EnderDove]

I thought I was the only one who noticed that! Props to you.

That has a chance to be the worst movie ever.

[Jentheoptimist]

Anyone think this movie is gonna hurt tourism in Europe?

[Adeniz19]

Anyone think this movie is gonna hurt tourism in Europe?slovakia for sure

[Jentheoptimist]

Yeah I've been to europe, and it was awesome. Even though one of the girls in our group, got date raped down their, she ended up getting pregnant and putting the kid up for adoption. I personally thought it was beautiful and never felt scared but I didn't stay in a hostel. I just hope this movie doesn't discourage anyone from visiting Europe. I heard a lot of "I'll never be going there"

[marrost]

The lack of gore in this was pretty disappointing, especially from what the commercials led you to believe. And once the main kid killed his torturer you pretty much knew he was going to escape. The explanation they gave for it all was decent (the scene on the top floor with that other American dude), but they cut away from way too much, and let the main kid get out of the situation a little too quickly.

I laughed much more than I cringed, which isn't really a bad thing, it just wasn't what I expected.

[seconds]

my friend and his step-dad kevin saw this, and i guess kevin stood up while everyone was clapping and said 'that sucked' and everyone looked at him.

but i'll just have to see for myself about this one.

hahah. and tarantino put his name on this? sounds like a download only for me.

[celebrate ashes]

not gonna lie. last 25 minutes was intense. and good.

overall. eurotrip mixed with saw. still enjoyed myself though. i got to see a ton of titties. and a dude get his head smashed in with a rock by a bunch of little kids.

You might want to use a spoiler tag, fucko.

I think I'm gonna see it tomorrow.

you folk take offense quickly. i will never say one fact about an entire 1 and 30 minute long movie again. NEVER. EVER. YOUR LOSS. pussies.

[marrost]

On the other hand, if you haven't seen a movie yet and are worried about spoilers, don't open a fucking thread about it. It's that simple.

[weezer182]

i really liked this movie. different then what i expected but i was entertained throughout the whole movie

your avatar pisses me off...shes such a skank and chiodos doesnt deserve that shit

[Justin_stacy]

caught this Friday night, and although it was no Cabin Fever, it was pretty good.

Best Part-Setting next to us was a guy and his girl, and when it got to the torture parts the "guy" got so freaked out he had to run out of the theater twice leaving his girl friend.

Obscene violence = funny, boy acting like a pussy in front of his womyn = funny......so allround one good night.

[this is risika]

1st half = soft-core porn.
2nd half = gnarly gruesomeness.

It was definitly Tarantino's style.

[Justin_stacy]

1st half = soft-core porn.
.
i think most soft core porno's have more of a plot then the start of this film did.

[weezer182]

i think most soft core porno's have more of a plot then the start of this film did.it had a plot, they were backpacking around europe

[EnderDove]

it had a plot, they were backpacking around europe

That is far from a decent plot.

[weezer182]

That is far from a decent plot.i didnt mind it

[Justin_stacy]

it had a plot, they were backpacking around europe

It was a joke.........and the start of the movie, regardless of how good the ending half was, can hardly be called a sturdy plot with which to build a film off of.

[weezer182]

It was a joke.........and the start of the movie, regardless of how good the ending half was, can hardly be called a sturdy plot with which to build a film off of.i liked how they built it up for the second half because it kept me anticipating. you knew something was going to happen but you didnt know when. in my opinion id rather have it like that other then have the movie start off with non-stop violence

[Justin_stacy]

Non-stop violence wasn't needed, but an entertaining storyline or real plotline would have helped. With the exception of gore there's nothing that separates this movie from a direct to video release.

Now that's not to say I didn't like part of the movie, I loved the end and its campiness, but to say the movie had something it didn't (a good plot) isn’t exactly being honest.

[this is risika]

Yeah, the beginning was really shaky. Too many (or too little) things going on that were relevant to each other.

[believethehyph]

Looks fucking gnarly. It comes out friday, anyone gonna see it?

Can't wait to see it when its out here.

[Justin_stacy]

Eli's the shit!......so I’m not knocking him or the out come of the movie. I was not disappointed by any means. I just feel more could have been done with the plot given the money he had, the name recognition of the producer and based on the talent he showed in Cabin Fever; that's all.

And I respect that you liked the beginning because you could relate to it. I just, personally, thought it relied on too many clichés (tits’n beer) and not enough story.

true

[Mercy Medical]

Why the hell am I watching this? lol

Yea, I know, I'm a bit slow with things...haha

[DroppedUrPocket]

Haha good job Kara.

[Mercy Medical]

Haha good job Kara.
I was intrigued and I wanted to see it so I downloaded it.

I'm glad I started it early enough so that my roommate wasn't home during the beginning. That would've been...awkward. What other movie was this kid in? The one that's looking for his friends.

Be warned, I'm in the middle of watching it...

[matt_rawlings]

Fucking great film, fuck what people say

[DroppedUrPocket]

I'm not sure which guy you are talking about. I saw it a while ago. Haha.

[Shatter590]

i loved this movie

[jusscali]

i didnt like it that much in the theatre, but when i got it again ondemand, i liked it much better than i originally had.

[Mercy Medical]

Okay, so the premise of this movie is that they capture these poor people that are traveling and then sell them to rich people so they can get of on torturing and killing them?

[DroppedUrPocket]

Yeah, for the most part.

[marrost]

I can't wait for a good horror movie to be released. Seems like it's been a while. Hostel blew.

[Mercy Medical]

Yeah, for the most part.
Interesting concept.

i need to see 2001 maniacs. keep forgetting about it.

bruce, you're clearly into horror films. what do you know about behind the mask? www.behindthemaskthemovie.com (http://www.behindthemaskthemovie.com) . i'm super stoked for that one but have no clue when to look for it.

[marrost]

What was the last good horror movie that you saw?Uhh... most of the good horror films that have been coming out recently are Asian. I haven't seen everything though, so if there's a good American horror movie that has come out recently that actually has some story to it, and isn't just gore for the sake of gore, please let me know.

i actually hadn't seen the trailer yet so thanks. i've heard good things about it, is it supposed to come to theaters?

[FondestMemory]

i don't know. i just realized they had a myspace. there's a blog about hitting festivals this summer and something about hoping to pick up distribution.

i guess they just don't have anybody to put it out. which would suck. seems cool as hell.

at the very least hopefully it gets a dvd release soon. apparently it's been done a while.

i wanna see it so bad.
