Trailer Bulletin: Hostel
by Scott Weinberg | October 28, 2005
Discuss Article | Blog Article | Email To A Friend
Fans of horror flicks in general and "Cabin Fever" specifically will want to scrawl a blood-red pencil around "Hostel," which is Eli Roth's sophomore effort ... and, based on the all-new trailer, obviously a horror film of the hardcore variety.

"Presented by genre master Quentin Tarantino and taking a much more macabre tone than did Eli Roth's feature debut "Cabin Fever," "Hostel" is an amalgamation of many of terrifying things about human nature and the world at large, culled from lots of pulpy-but-true stories of international organized crime, human trafficking, and sex tourism. Relentlessly graphic and deeply disturbing, the film is rife with explicit sex and brutal violence that may delight hard core genre fans, and prove difficult to stomach for general audiences.

Rated R for brutal scenes of torture and violence, strong sexual content, language and drug use."

Following a few successful screenings at the Toronto Film Festival, and now boasting the "Quentin Tarantino Presents" banner, "Hostel" is just about ready for its theatrical release. You can check in on December 21st. Or check the trailer right now.

[b]Enough!!!!![/b]
Alright, the trailer for the movie looks good(except for the taglines which were incredibly cheesy), but is anybody else just sick of this god damn Quentin Tarantino thing happening? I admit that i enjoy his films, but you can not look at Kill Bill volumes one and two and say they were the two best films of all time. All they are is an essembly of different scenes from other BETTER asian fims. I admit that i did enjoy part 2 much better, and that he is a good writer, but there are alot more talented people out there that we should be commending rather then this media whore. I was just so upset when i bought the "oldboy" dvd and on the cover is the remark"Comes Sealed with Quentin Tarantino's Stamp Of Approval." WHAT? WTF are they talking about? He had nothing to do with the movie and it's a film that he can only dare to dream of making. Kill Bill was not the first revenge film ever made and it certainly wasnt the best.

I know i';m going to be blasted for this because whenever i check on these boards, everybody always seems to be cheering him on, but i just thought it needed to be said.

"From the brilliant mind that brought you "Cabin Fever"???!!! You gotta be joking me. Sounds like an oxymoron.
This just looks like he's trying to copy Takashi Miike the way he copied "Evil Dead" and "Night of the Living Dead" for "Cabin Fever," one of my least favorite horror films of all time. Not even worth the $5.50 they charge for the DVD at Wal-Mart. How does Eli Roth even have a career. I just don't get it. Guess you have to be bosom buddies with Quentin Tarantino to get anything in the industry nowadays.

I agree that Cabin fever wasn't all that great. But "Hostel" does provide some pretty good horror moments. If you're a fan of the genre, than you'll probably find something to enjoy.

Must you forget that Kill Bill wasn't Quentin's only movie? Pulp Fiction is one of my favorite movies of all time, and most movies he puts out are quite good. Nobody's saying Kill Bill was the greatest film of all time, but they were VERY good movies, no matter how they were made. He uses a great mix of humor, action, drama, etc. in all of his movies, and that's what makes them worthwhile.

In case you were wondering, Quinten Tarantino gave Oldboy, the Grand Prix, at the Cannes film festival. That's Best Picture, chosen by the Head Judge. That's where the whole "seal of approval" comes from. I can't remember a movie with Quinten's name on it, that I hate anyway. Doesn't bother me one bit.
