HOSTEL
starstarstarstar
Eli Roth's sophomore feature serves notice to the self-referential fright films that flourished in the wake of Scream: It's a back-to-basics, gore-and-gristle look at the no-frills nastiness of 1970s films, in which monsters, mutants and ghosts can't hold a candle to the sheer, unadulterated evil that lurks in the hearts of men. And be warned: The raunchy, Eurotrip-style sex farce morphs suddenly into a particularly vicious -- and highly effective -- example of what's come to be called "torture porn."

DVD Tuesday: You Bet Your Life in 13 Tzameti

Send your movie questions to FlickChickThe ice-cold thriller 13 Tzameti was one of my favorite films of last year and now that its on DVD I hope it will find an audience I put it on my five-best list compiled under pressure by the way because I hate the reductiveness of lists but thats another discussion and the overwhelming response from readers was Ive never heard of it That started some discussion about the difference between what critics like and what normal people like Feel free to weigh in But I think the real problem with 13 Tzameti is nothing more or less than that it got such a limited release that lots of moviegoers who would have loved it never got the chance to see it Its in black-and-white and a foreign language two foreign languages actually French and Georgian And thats a kiss-of-death double whammy in the current marketplace Why Beats me I really dont find reading subtitles so onerous and in my experience theyre far better done t read more

Hostel Helmer Takes Stab at Stephen King

Spawning the hits Cabin Fever and Hostel, the Boston-born director splices social commentary into his gore while mischievously tinkering with genre convention. TVGuide.com invited Roth to discuss Hostel (out on DVD today) and share hi read more

Are there any plans to bring ...

Question: Are there any plans to bring Stephen King's latest horrorfest to the big screen? It's a haunting story that grabs you like few other recent books have, and it's believable!

It's set up at Dimension Films, the horror arm of Miramax, and Hostel (2005) writer-director (and dyed-in-the-wool horror buff ) Eli Roth is attached as director and either screenwriter or cowriter. There's no cast or start date yet; Roth is currently shooting Hostel 2 and won't start read more
