Eli Roth is a comedic GENIUS

Rating: 10/10 (24 January 2006)

Cabin Fever was the first film to get me laughing out loud in a movie theater. I absolutely worshiped the sick humor; however, I did not find it scary. Hostel, on the other hand, was even funnier and much more intense. The first half of the film is all set up, and the scariest images for these 45 minutes are all nasty fake boobies. But when the ball gets rolling it plows everything in it's path, faster and harder than all the whores in Amsterdam combined! I must say, by the time I saw it I was kind of desensitized to a lot of the graphic imagery because of all the preemptive hype. Yes, it gets nasty, the "eye-ball scene" is gross, but I really didn't think that much of the film was any more graphic than an episode of nip/tuck. I debated for a long time as to whether-or-not i wanted to see this because I'm really squeamish, but I'm soooo glad I did. It was an absolute blast, one of the most satisfying movies I've sat through all year.
