Eli Roths: HOSTEL

After I saw this disgusting, horrible trailer for Hostel, I just had to write about it. First off, the trailer reveals the twist that people pay money to torture others. If there were a handbook of things to not put in a trailer for a movie... I am pretty sure not revealing the big twist is number 1. Besides that, this trailer is just gross, and had several scenes in it that I cringed and that is not something easy to accomplish. For some reason though this trailer is not red banded, and can instead be shown before the showing of any movie. This is not appropriate at all for any children. I am just going to say that. Any way the other great accomplishment of this trailer is the fact that in the trailer it says "from the masterminds that brought you: Cabin Fever, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Kill Bill Volume 2" Declaring your self a mastermind in your own trailer is pathetic. Eli Roth(the director) takes it a step further though and the movie is introduced as Eli Roths: Hostel. Come on man, you made 3 movies, 2 of which are horrible and you go and declare your movie with your name in front. Thats worse than pathetic! Heres the trailer http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/hostelqt1.html
