absolutely brilliant!!

Rating: 10/10 (20 January 2006)

I have to say that i am an aspiring film maker and i think Eli Roth is awesome. As much as i adore Dario Argento, Quentin Tarintino, Lucio Fulci, and others, as of right now you are my favorite. I thought Hostel was brilliant. Everyone, including myself was expecting extreme gore and the sickest stuff imaginable. But, i thought it was better the way you made it because it left so much to the imagination. and i thought it was full of suspicion, and loneliness, and the thought of ever enduring that kind of pain and torture, to me it is so realistic because the stuff does happen. At first I was like, this is okay, but the more i thought about it the more i liked it and to me that is the kind of reaction i would want for my films. something to think about after the film is over. And let me say, i also adore Takashi Miike. And to have in your film even for 15 seconds was beautiful. I was the only one in the theater who knew who he was. meeting the Japanese master of horror for you, would be like me meeting you. keep up the good work, and i'll keep being inspired. thank you for listening, Kelly from West Virginia.
