hostel question....

i dunno if anybody caught this....during the scene in hostel when the lame kid is gettin laid and we're lookin' at the brunette from his point of view, the song thats playin' sounds exactly like the siren song from WICKER MAN 'cept it's like a trance club version....the only reason I thought it might be remotely possible that eli roth would use the siren song is cuz he paid homage to david hess' "road leads to nowhere" from last house on the left in CABIN FEVER....am i dorkus or did anybody who seen both hostel and wickerman catch that?

also the scene in cabin fever where the kid from boy meets world has his hand goin under the blanket into that chicks panties was totally his play on creepshow 2's raft scene.

The more horror movies i watch, the more i start to notice little things like this. Burial Ground had quite a few. The zombie eyeball scene was totally ripped off, except it was with glass into the side of the face, but it was shot in the same style that it was in zombie.

"How Do" - to Majorbludd

I noticed the Wicker Man song in Hostel too. In Wicker Man, that's the scene where Britt Eckland sings topless then it cuts to a body-double for the full-body rear shots (doh!). Very memorable anyway.

I looked for the song in the credits of Hostel and it was there. It's called "How Do," though I have since forgotten who wrote it. I don't know anything about its inclusion in this movie except that the re-mix makes for nice trivia. It was cool to hear it.

I went to the first showing of this movie on friday there. I thought it was a fantastic film with some disturbing and well-crafted scenes.

I particularly liked the scene when the hero is on the top floor of the building and is talking to the guy with the gun.

I give this movie 8.5/10

Hostel

I know theres been a few posts on this already but i just got my Region 1 copy at the weekend. Loved this film. Last nite on tv there was a programme about SNUFF films & Eli Roth was talking about the inspiration for Hostel he said something about a website in Thailand ( did'nt catch it all the wife was nagging ) does anyone know the backstory to this film?

I was very dissappointed by the film - There was so much hype about it and in my opinion, didn't deliver the goods. There were a couple of gory scenes in it but for the length of time I had to wait for them I expected something much better.

Just saw it today. I loved it! I would have liked to see Miike with a slightly larger roll. No spoiler here.
