Movie Fan Zone

Quickly, what do you think of your Hostel experience? Remember that really painful viewing pleasure? Still reminiscing those gut-wrenching scenes?

Then, you ask yourself why the hell did you like it so much? Ah, you must love the new thing in horror films! Same with Saw, Eli Roth’s film has made it popularity into somewhat an exercise on what really makes entertainment so gruesome.

See, Eli Roth could very well be the face of horror films this decade the same way Wes Craven, Kevin Williamson and George Romero had been before him. There is no denying that his film was part of the “torture porn” trend that seems to be prevalent nowadays. However, make no mistake about it: this does not compromise his gifts and talent as a filmmaker. The upcoming release of Hostel: Part II could put that theory to the test.
