Welcome Back to the Hell of Being Cut to Pieces

Here’s the thing.

I kind of hate Eli Roth. I thought his character was fun in Inglourious Basterds, but I think he’s a shit director. Really, really just talentless and lacking vision without a real grasp of how to effectively use actors, and how to develop a plot that doesn’t revolve around gore. But that’s just me. I hated Hostel, not because it was gross and excessive (though it was), but simply because it just it’s a shitty movie. As for Cabin Fever, the less said, the better.

All of this is my way of saying that the good news is that Eli Roth is not going to be involved in Hostel 3.

The bad news is that, well, they’re making a Hostel 3. This time around it’s being directed by Scott Spiegel (From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money), based on the screenplay by Michael Weiss (Journey to the Center of the Earth, The Butterfly Effect 2 — wait, there was a sequel?). So, expect the shittiness to increase exponentially. I can only assume that this will go straight to video.

Anyway, if you’re still inexplicably reading, this time around the setting will be Las Vegas, where a bachelor party somehow goes off the rails and, most likely, people get decapitated / exsanguinated / mutilated / eviscerated by a group of evil people who like being bad for purely rote, pointless reasons.

Also, given the plot and the locale, isn’t the title now something of a misnomer? Are there people who go to bachelor parties and stay in fucking student flophouses?

Whatever. Hostel 3 starts shooting later this year.

@ Jim lol, i was going to say that.
That's just like a time I wanted to correct a guy for thinking there were only 2 "Crow" films.

I am not a torture porn fan, I havent seen Hostel 2 but I did check the first one, eye roll cringe combo, and Cabin Fever, eye roll solo, so color me non excited... any bets the tagline will be "what happens in Vegas ... slays in Vegas" ?

I saw both Hostels and Cabin Fever. At least Cabin Fever was funny. Except for that incredible asinine ending. Hostel was just disturbing, as in I-Cant-Believe-I-Wasted-My-Time kind of disturbing.

I love Cabin Fever. Can't say the same about anything else Roth has done. And Cabin Fever only gets a pass because it's so terrible that it somehow becomes awesome. It's like a Troma movie with a budget.

Some intelligent, enterprising young writer needs to begin outlining a script wherein a rabid, murderously-angry group of film fans horribly mutilate their least favorite film-makers. The ultimate wish fulfillment horror parody.

DR: *starts chainsaw* *shouts over the noise* It'd be a small meal! HAHAHA!
MB: AAAAIIIII!!!!

Hostel doesn't deserve a Big Trouble In Little China reference.

Are there people who go to bachelor parties and stay in fucking student flophouses?

Is that one point or two separate points? Like...are you trying to say that people don't stay in student flophouses with they go to bachelor parties? Or are you distinguishing between the two. Like...people go to bachelor parties? People stay at student flophouses?

Because if you are I would like to say yes...to both of the later points. I mean, I totally wouldn't go to a bachelor party that resides at a student flophouse, but I do go to bachelor parties, and I planned on staying at youth hostels when I go to Europe.

Harsh, but fair.

i LIKED hostel 2. since you asked.

I liked Cabin Fever for its comedy, and i thought the idea of Hostel was genious, but failed in execution (ZING!)

I took a girl to see Hostel 2 at her request on a first date. Not only was it a piece of shit but we were the only ones in the theater and I still couldn't get a handy out of it. REALLY difficult to pick a time to make your move while a girl is bathing in another girls blood onscreen.

When you said Cabin Fever, I immediately thought of that movie with David Letterman. I actually had to youtube it to make sure you weren't talking about what I thought you were talking about. But it turns out what you were talking about is not what I thought you were talking about, as it turns out I was thinking about Cabin Boy, which is not what you were talking about. Or WERE you? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRwf5hfns4o

i like cabin fever

Hostel 2 is not bad; i'd almost call it "good." There's an actual narrative behind the grotesquerie as well as a very good performance by Roger Bart.
