no one loves horror movies more than him except rob zombie
and that is one of the many reasons why i love eli roth.
shareHe's one of the worst horror directors of all time. His movies are trash.
shareYou gonna elaborate on that, boyo?
Can't say I've seen all of Roth's films, but those I have seen are decent enough (Hostel being one the most iconic grindhouse films of the 2000's), and a refreshing change from some of the trends which has plagued modern horror films - including endless inferior sequels/reboots, over reliance of jump scares and exploitation of the found footage genre.
CABIN FEVER,HOSTEL,HOSTEL 2,KNOCK KNOCK,THE GREEN INFERNO...NONE OF THESE ARE PERFECT OR TOPTIER FAVORITES OF MINE...BUT THEY ARE ALL STRONG,ENTERTAINING HORROR SAMPLINGS...I MEAN SHIT...MY DAUGHTER LOVES THE HOUSE WITH A CLOCK IN ITS WALLS...THE GUY CAN DIRECT.
shareNah. It's not even worth dissecting him as a director.
shareHE IS NOT FOR EVERYONE...CLEARLY NOT FOR YOU...SOME OF US ENJOY HIS DARK,SILLY,GRIMY STYLE.
shareYour loss
sharedid you watch his show eli roths' history of horror? if you did then you'd know this guy is an encyclopedia when it comes to horror movies. he knows about every important horror movie. he knows everything there is to know about the history of horror films.
i give him a lot of credit for introducing me to the last american virgin about 15 years ago. i had never heard of this film before he mentioned it in an interview that was online. it's the best sex comedy ever made.
LMAO
share"did you watch his show eli roths' history of horror?"
No I haven't, but thanks for the shout. About to now.
Forget these fools,
Cabin Fever and Hostel 1 & 2 are as much part of the horror legacy than any Friday the 13th movie, Halloween sequel, Saw,
Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, Final Destination, Profondo Rosso, Dawn of the Dead, It Follows, I know What You Did Last Summer, Nightmare on Elm Street, The Howling, Evil Dead, Fright Night, Conjuring, Demoni 1 & 2, The Blob, Re-Animator, Dance of the Vampires, Hellraiser, Lost Boys, Candyman, Phantasm, Hereditary etc etc etc
Fits right in to the list. Everybody calm down now.
