I was one of those people that hated everything about Cabin Fever. I wasn't anticipating Eli Roth's next film, but when I heard the Internet buzz around Hostel, and found it was showing at the 2005 TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival), I decided to check it out. Eli Roth, who was at the screening, mentioned to the audience that this was the first public viewing in North America. He also told us what we were about to see was a work in progress print of the film. What I saw was one hell of a fierce horror flick that works on every level. All the actors do a great job in this flick. I was especially impressed with Jay Hernandez, and Derek Richardson, two relatively unknown actors. There are a lot of funny scenes, and dialog in the early parts of the film. It's not that slapstick, forced stuff that was so prevalent in Cabin Fever. There also lots of nudity in the early parts in the film as well. When things begin to turn towards horror, you truly feel the sense of terror the characters are going through. The build up to the climax is just done so well. I loved the fact the story is very believable. Make no mistake about it, this is a violent, sick, and gory flick. It's not for the squeamish. I haven't seen this type of extreme violence in a North America mainstream cinema. The Takashi Miike, and Asian Cinema influences are clearly seen here. This is a film that will shock people, and remain in there heads well after the film is over. It will be interesting to see how the film is edited, and rated. In it's current state, I don't see how it could get anything less than the dreaded NC-17 rating. I just hope that it's not butchered too much, as the audience deserves to see the film how it was intended. Eli Roth has completely redeemed himself for what I thought was a very poor film in Cabin Fever, and has made one kick-ass horror film.

I've never posted on a movie before, I've never felt the need, but I feel like this time, something needs to be said. This movie is absolutely awful. Boring and pointless storyline, severe lack of the suspense and gore the commercials gave the illusion of. I love cheesy movies, Army of Darkness is my favorite ever, but this movie isn't even good enough to be called cheesy. It's basically Eurotrip plus some blood. I know this is cliché, but people shouldn't go see this movie because if we keep giving Hollywood money for not even trying and thinking filling a movie with * and occasional blood, they won't have to try. They can make money off crap like this. Everyone's welcome to their opinion, but seriously, with this movie, they didn't even try.

There is absolutely no end in sight for the amount of ridicule this film can bring upon itself. The fact that this film was actually given the green light to go into production says a lot about Lions Gate Films and everybody involved in it. Apparently, nobody saw "Cabin Fever" before they let deuchebag Eli Roth spend millions of dollars on this pathetic, unremarkable trip into nothingness. First of all, the script was insanely bad. I read the user review titled "Excellent puke" and wanted to thrust my face into a toilet. How stupid can you possibly be? How much bad taste can one have? There are truly NO twists in this movie. The only plot lines that can be related to each other, really, is the story that wonderful, should-be-nominated-for-best-actor Jay Hernandez recounts to his friend that, later on, more light will be shed on (no more information since it may spoil the film for some risking their hour's pay to go see it.) The acting is horrendous. THe script is terrible. The story is non-existent. The direction is horrible. Enjoy
