Dug Cabin Fever, thought it was a lot of fun. Didn't hate Hostel, but I'll probably have totally forgotten about it in a few years time.

I think Roth has potential. I'm hoping Roth, Aja & Zombie can lead us into the next generation of horror.

The thing is that he tries so hard to shock that most of his shit ends up looking silly.


Do you really think a guy would go down a dead chick's pants intending to finger her but end up fingering a large bloody gash on her thigh? A ten-year-old would know where a vagina is...

The whole "Splat Pack" (Alexandre Aja, Darren Lynn Bousman, Neil Marshall, Greg McLean, Eli Roth, Leigh Whannell & Rob Zombie) looks like they could really come through with some great stuff for the genre. I can't wait to see Zombies next one, that cartoon The Haunted World of El Superbeasto even though it's going to be directed by a couple of Spongebob alumni ?????? . Just watched Wan's short film Saw (the short that was included on the special edition of Saw) and it was done so well. Anyway enough rambling, can't wait to see Eli in Grindhouse.

That wouldn't surprise me...

Eli Roth got his idea for Cabin Fever when he was in Iceland and contracted a lesser case of the flesh-eating disease. The now infamous shaving-legs scene in the bath tub is based on when Roth shaved his face and layers of skin came off while having the disease.

ewww..

I just hope he makes a slasher flick.

I can't stand Aja - empty imagry. My agent recently submitted something of mine to him without asking me first. :mad: He won't do that again.

Adam Green (Hatchet) and Scott Glosserman (Behind the Mask) will be the new kings of the genre
