So my husband and I visited Bratislava and took a walking tour one day. The tour guide was this sweet college girl who actually thanked all of us for visiting because apparently between this movie and Eurotrip (which also painted Bratislava in a bad light) tourism had really suffered and dropped! The people were so friendly, the food was good and it was really cheap. Plus downtown was beautiful!!! We had a blast there and still feel bad for the locals because of these movies

Saw has almost as much carnage, but it never loses the actual story of John testing people (or Mandee missing the point with her traps). As evidenced by Green Inferno, Roth seems to just get some kind of enjoyment out of butchering people in the most outrageous ways possible regardless of whether or not there's a real storyline steering it. I might go ahead and watch the second one someday, just don't feel like being disappointed again.

The alternate ending was by far better imo. He now has to wonder what is happening to his daughter... he knows the horrors of the world because he has committed them.

[@washedblue]

that's definitely one of the strengths of that ending, but it falls apart to me because Paxton wouldn't do anything to her (thankfully) and he'd probably just leave her at a future stop if not immediately reported by other passengers. he is a character you root for because, despite his very "American" and righteous behaviour abroad, he is not compassionless like the club members. it's cathartic in a way until you reconsider his character. you could argue he's "snapped" and would simply see it as an eye-for-an-eye but idk, I can't see him doing that to someone else after going through that ordeal, his trauma with not saving the drowning girl when he was younger, and her being an innocent child. many were deeply upset by his fate in the sequel and I think he'd be in a much more grey area with audiences had they gone with that as the official ending. unless the viewer would find it vengeful enough to just temporarily mess with the guy and leave her unharmed (aside from the kidnapping)... but the way the scene's cut and the context of the movie suggests otherwise.

[@PhoenixRayne88]

It's actually a really well-thought-out slasher movie. I think it's such an interesting concept to compare sex tourism, which is not only super common in places like Amsterdam, but also encouraged, joked about, and accepted- to torture tourism. Both are forms of exploitation, and while it's hard to compare murder to legal prostitution, it can be assumed that these women are still deeply affected by those taking advantage of them. Yet, the protagonists aka clients never question it.

It made me laugh when you saie re: Eli Roth "he's fucked up right?" because years ago the Discovery Channel did a special with him about evil and they actually did determine his mind does not react the same to images of violence as "normal" brains do. They also sort of reenacted the Milgram experiment. Very interesting stuff.

Something I noticed about this movie that I'll give it credit for: it's one of the few horror movies I've seen that has a "final guy." Nearly all horror films have a final *girl,* and sometimes they'll have a final guy *and* a final girl who make it to the end, but rarely do I see ones--from this era, anyway--where it's only the guy who survives.

I ended up seeing this at my uncle's house when I was about 13 or so. He had one of those awesome basements with a theater room in it, and he told me I could watch whatever I wanted because my mom thought I was old enough to know the difference between reality and made-up things. I picked this movie because the unrated cut had interesting box art. When I tell you I can still close my eyes and vividly recall the details of the torture scenes in my mind a whole decade later, I'm not kidding. Almost as traumatic as having accidentally watched Saw 2 at the drive-in when I was 6... Hm, maybe that's what wrong with me. But at least I never watched the human centipede.

[@Amarianee]

Yeah, I LOATHE this film. I was SOO excited for it when it came out, then massively disappointed when the horrifying storyline got lost in the torture porn. The idea of an underground organization kidnapping tourists and selling them to be murdered is frightening - especially with the very real human trafficking organizations out there...but then the focus became, "how gross can we make it?" Green Inferno was worse because it had even less of an underlying compelling plot. I honestly have no idea how the critic rating is higher than the audience rating in this one. I'd think any self respecting critic would rip this one a new one. It was very clear that Roth chose gore shock over storytelling. It's just a big gross disappointment that people say they like to seem edgy.

[@jeffmcarthur5617]

I went to film school with Eli Roth. He was in my class and was actually a friend of mine for a time. He was a pretty good guy, though he was VERY much the type of person who sought popularity. He was into any trend that was popular. He loved any person who could help him climb the social ladder. What was perhaps most interesting to film buffs, though, is that he was great at comedy. No joke. He was a comedy filmmaker, and was quite good at it. He had the Sight and Sound film class laughing our asses off. After school, he remained friends with a close friend of mine, but once Cabin Fever came out and he had some success, he dropped any friend of his that wasn't famous. It was frustrating seeing his rise to fame after he threw away these people who had been loyal to him all that time, so now I love seeing him torn down.

That's why I don't befriend any semi famous people because once they get an inkling of fame and money they'll drop the people who aren't famous and when they become ordinary again then they need the people they dropped for fame

Fun Eli Roth Fact: In Inglourious Basterds (Quentin Tarantino, 2009), in addition to obviously playing The Bear Jew, Roth guest-directed the segments of the in-universe film Nation's Pride. Also as far as I know, Tarantino had nothing to do with the production, he and Eli are just really good friends.

And at first, he wasn't supposed to play the Bear Jew, that role was originally for Adam Sandler to play, but he dropped out due to a scheduling conflict so Roth was hired in his place.
