Eli Roth On Hostel

Eli Roth talks about one of the best horror movies ever made Hostel!

[@holden6104]

I can't think of a film that got more unwarranted hate than this one. It's a MUCH better film than people give it credit for.

[@StrawberryAphrodite1]

Holden I agree completely people absolutely hate this movie and I don't understand why. I could understand not liking if its not your kind of movie but I have actually been called psycho just for liking it. People are ridiculously uptight about this film

[@holden6104]

It's because people write it off as a mindless torture porn flick, without realizing that there is a surprising amount of thought that went into it. The entire concept is well hidden until the end, and the way it is revealed is absolutely brilliant. The characters are surprisingly well-developed too. I might not put it into my top 10, but it's definitely sitting comfortably in my top 20.

[@hanburgundy4317]

The movie spends too much time showing the torture. Just don't linger on that nasty shit and people would be totally on board. A little gore goes a long way. Take Bone Tomahawk: the scalping scene only lasted like thirty seconds, but it was intense as hell - we didn't need that scene over and over again. Hostel is just nasty, so I see why people hate it.

[@riseofkings4405]

I found the final twist in hostel 3(or 2) stupid but you entitled to your opinion, in my opinion the FILM went downhill after the first main characters assassination

[@richardbryant3169]

I really loved hostel,I don't know why it got so much critism

[@clearwaterblue2819]

He's right. The first (non-horror) part of the movie is just as good as the horror part. Almost nine years since I first saw it, wow.

[@JamesSaleMedia]

This guy is a breath of fresh air in terms of American horror. Cabin Fever was brilliant and the two Hostels really were disturbing. Love Eli Roth.

[@leaksmoke9859]

I'm obsessed with this flick. Idk how people hate...

[@Dukesparrow1999]

Ikr, if anything people should at least see this film as something of a cautionary tale

They ain't bad if you like slashers

[@higurashianduminekoconnect1702]

I liked it at first but what kind of makes me not like it anymore is knowing how he came up with the idea believe it or not he watched a real site supposedly that inspired him so if you watched a real site like that on the internet that would be illegal makes me wonder why he's not in jail unless it was a pop-up that's the only way I could see and he just accidentally if it was that I could understand but most likely did he just randomly search the pound me because if he did that kind of sick stop the film that I would necessarily hate how he came up with the idea because that would have suggested illegal activity

[@higurashianduminekoconnect1702]

Course not the movie the movies at work of fiction then if you heard about it third-hand I would have been like oh he's just inspired by these actual events she didn't physically try to go watch them

[@dagothur5807]

Eli Roth somehow reminds me of Sasha Baron Cohen, but his films are so awesome. Started with the first Hostel, still a great movie. Love the atmosphere

I have to stop drooling whenever I see this guy...

[@Rome274]

That Hostel was actually quite a good movie . Though I don't normally watch horror.

[@maxim25o2]

I agree with him. If anyone noticed, he says, "No matter what you record, or how brutal the movie is, it will never match to what is happening in the world." We are very insensitive to what is happening before our eyes. The military is killing thousands of innocent people, and no one responds to it. "Chimpanzees govern the country" I discovered it quite early. But living so long in such a society got used to it. Ps. Ebola did not spread out of nothing ....

[@TheRealDoomBot]

Where is your proof concerning the Military?

As a horror specialist, you have very good taste, even if you have to be real selective to consider it your favorite

[@PapaWooody]

@@Joey7Z7Horror I also love Cabin in the Woods, The Exorcist, and 28 Days Later… but Hostel is my favorite

[@keveardo]

Eli Roths a legend.... The art of story telling and ultra violence really made this movie work.... I say it's better than that torture porn bullshit Saw.... I hear they are making another sequel to that.... Oh Lawd.... -.-

[@ShAdOw116789]

Legend. I just hate how he ended Hostel 2. I hate how she "bought" her way out. It didn't leave me with that feeling like Hostel did where he escaped only to be hunted down later.

[@junglesk8r]

Saw actually has a bigger complex story than Hostel. Ive seen all of the Hostel films and Saw films. BOTH franchises are great though.

[@keveardo]

Hostel 1 is a great film, story and writing was really good but the character depth could have been more solid. Hostel 2 is just bad, yeah it has some good scenes and dialougue in it but I hate the pointless characters and the Bloodhound elite bullshit orginization. It was more compelling of a story when you hardly knew of this club.And there really wasnt any characters I rooted for... the first at least had the Paxton character who turned into a badass and hero but they FUCKING KILL HIM IN THE BEGINNING OF THE SECOND!!! -_- SMFH... and well for the third direct to video one... just a low budget cash grab

[@ShAdOw116789]

***** look at this fuckin 10 year old lol

[@ShAdOw116789]

Keven Ardon Yeah i liked Hostel 1 alot more, Hostel 2 was good the first -2nd time i saw it then i realized it was a bad movie, i dont like how they killed Paxton.

[@EricAbroad]

I watched this movie on my iPod Video in Study Hall in High School and I began to faint because the violence was so shocking I had to pause it and come back to it a few days later. Still not sure if I like or hate it but it certainly has been stuck in my mind ever since.

[@rashiuu17]

Damn

[@NeedleWorkerMore]

Hostel 1&2 are good. That's it. The end.

[@DaDanZ610]

Hostel is now my favorite movie, thanks Eli Roth ❤️❤️❤️

[@dagothur5807]

Well yeah, as soon as one disappeared, they are more vulnerable, but dont realise it yet. When the second friend dissapeared, you see the latest guy walking the streets, and realizing he is vulnerable, staring eyes all over the place.

[@StrawberryAphrodite1]

Yes!! Thanks for mentioning that, the conjuring looks so awesome! Also insidious is one of my favorite horror movies and one of the scariest I've seen in a long time, so I am really excited for the conjuring, I think James is great! Also Leon Kennedy is my fave resident evil character so I must say you have great taste! That is awesome thanks for your comment!

It was truly horrific but one of the first of its time to be really of the shock gory genre. Really made the people puke their guts and be shit scared.

[@dagothur5807]

Also, i would like to add, that his movies are 'possible.' There might be a rich/sick elite that torture humans as a 'sport.' It is possible, and the way they portray it, gives you a window on how exactly it might work. Good movies, yep.

[@mrmcecheese1456]

After watching hostel a few times I thought it was too soft. Like when josh is gettting tortured it cuts to the hallways and hearing screaming, at least show the cameras in the same room 🙈🙈

[@dagothur5807]

Maybe Eli Roth got inspired with the movie from Quentin Tarantino's From Dusk Till Dawn, where he made the thriller start and horror-ending its trademark? I can see that film, and the film's Eli Roth makes, have the same kind of 'pleasant to watch'-vibes.

You can see his distaste for W. Bush's America both here and the film. At that time (mid-2000's), the USA was HATED because of Iraq. I remember traveling in South America back then and actively avoiding my nationality, because I ran into many who really wanted to harm a Yank if they ever came across one.

@the2009guy the Japanese version of both The Grudge (Ju On) and The Ring (Ringu) are beautiful films as is Audition, the Japanese definitely know how to make horror films and Eli is one of the only (besides two other writers/directors Im a fan of) people who has ever been able to embody what those Japanese films were able to and really f*ck with the audience and give them that scare that stays with you.

[@doriskloster]

People will get more offended at movies, at directors but never at things that actually happen. People scream at the director of Human Centipede when they're are people hurting their children, people being trafficked in and out of countries used for all sorts of reasons. Suppose its easier to be offended at something that doesn't matter or has no real world consequence, well not a substantial consequence. People are such cowards, some real fucking evil bastards in the world, but nah lets put that to the back of our minds, its to mind damaging to look into, leave it to the authorities etc etc they are human too and must take a toll. Suppose virtue signalling at violent movies is easier then to face real acts of atrocities and just to blame violent movies - ignoring that people have been doing evil things for aeons, cruelty has always existed and some people just revel in it. Just my two cents, not that anybody cares,

[@ghouliegirlie83]

The things I would do to that man.....there aren't even names for it

[@heatherfoster9041]

I have seen many movies in my life, a lot of horror actually. Can you name any horror films made these days that don't really have the same plot or something of that sort? Why do you think they constantly make sequels to shitty ass movies? Eli Roth is a great director, writer and producer because he does it all. He creates things that people wouldn't really think of creating. Hostel made 180Mil world wide, can you people do that? What's the point of bashing someone's awesome work.

[@sidewaysonhighways]

I definitley would want to do a low budget film. I hate being restrained from my ideas. I think in the end, the ratings board would bother me the most if I were a director making a totally grotesque horror film. If the director of the Jackass movies can have Steve-o being showered in shit and Pontias wagging his dick at the camera, which is filmed via Paramount, amongst other films with full nudity, gore, whatever, then a small, low budget slasher should have no problem with sensorship.

Yes, they are most definitely legends sweetheart. Anyone who doesn't think those great filmmakers are legends is a moron. They are gods of horror, but this video isn't about them or their movies!

mariakai you have to be messed up in the head to be able to see people get tortured and be okay with it. That's sick and something we shouldn't be exposed to.

It's not scary, or funny, it's just painful. And by painful, I mean insulting. Now, I don't mind if it's really amounting to something, such as symbolism or a deeper or philosophical metaphor, but in his films, they just amount to nothing.
