Didn't catch and don't feel inclined to see Hostel, but Roth looks like he's going to be doing good things. Between Cabin Fever and producing 2001 Maniacs, he's shown a sharp eye for the genre. His trailer in Grindhouse is also very good. I think he benefitted from hanging out with John Landis, and with the kind of smirking genre insight he shares with Landis, Tarantino and their ilk, I think he could start doing some really good stuff, so long as he ignores the horror status quo.
