I may have to finally get around to watching one of Eli Roth’s movies. The man definitely comes across as intelligent, knowledgeable and passionate about the horror genre, so maybe it’s unfair that I’ve been writing his work off as “torture porn” and avoiding it. I did watch the opening twenty minutes of Cabin Fever a few years back, and just couldn’t get into it, but maybe it’s time to finally give Hostel a go.
I still have no desire to see any of the Saw movies, however.
Oh, and while I’m at it, here are a couple more very late Halloween-related links:
Cabin Fever was pretty bad. I did see the first Saw and don’t really remember much about it – didn’t really make me want to see the sequels. Never saw Hostel, but I’ll try Hostel II for the simple fact that I love Richard Burgi. I’m guessing it’s not really the sort of movie where you need to view the first to understand the second…
I like torture porn movies too!
.. -ahem- sorry.
