It's ok. Takashi Miike is a Japanese film director. Go see these movies immediately:

The Happiness of the Katakuris
Ichi the Killer
his segment in "Three...Extremes"
his episode "Imprint" in the Masters of Horror Showtime series

and especially and most importantly:

Audition


Eli Roth got the inspiration for Hostel after watching Audition. In fact, the general concept of Hostel is exactly the same as Audition's. It's already considered one of the greatest horror films of all time.

Anyway, Miike has a cameo in Hostel. I wondered what he did.

im a big horror fan (especially asian/foreign horror) and yes, Miike made a cameo in "Hostel". He's the asian guy with the shades you see when the main character, Paxton (Jay Hernandez) arrives at the "hostel". He's asked what's in there and Miike replies

"Be careful. You could spend all your money in there."

nothing great, but still, Roth pays homage to a true contemporary horror genius.

for those who have never seen a miike film, go rent �chi The Killer, Dead or Alive, or Audition...and prepare to be disturbed, confused, introduced to a whole new level of fucked up shit

Audition is actualy one of my favorite horror movies, I just never catalouged the entire cast and credits of the movie into my palm pilot for memorization...you understand.

But i checked out the guy's picture and he has a short and creepy conversation with the main character right before he walks into an abandoned warehouse to find his best friend being cut to bits.

for such a knowledgable Miike fan, I would have thought you would have seen the movie already...

that wasn't the hostel, just an abandoned warehouse.

[i][b]Tarantino rarely disappoints IMO.

no offense, but tarantino had nothing to do with the actual production or idea behind the film, he just tagged his name onto it because he funded the advertising and made sure it got into theaters with a big buzz (advertising a film is one of the most expensive parts of making a movie). hes done it before with movies he "thinks" he discovered before everyone else so he can just get more exposure with the press. personally hes an ok filmmaker but hes way too pompous and thinks hes the shit.

so fuck tarantino

but eli roth deserves mad props

umm...it may not be the hostel where the dudes are staying but its the place where all the tourists are taken to get hacked up in the basement...hence its the "hostel"

I heard a pretty long interview with Roth on the Booker show on Thursday and he said Tarantino actually did have a lot to do with the production, even the actual writing of the script.

was this gorier than saw?

i dont have the cast and credits on my palm pilot either, but i DO make it a point to know who directed a movie (especially those i like) since, as you should know, a movie is the primary work of a director...

Hostel is low on my priority list...I've still yet to see a few of the December movies which, of course, takes priority...

^^ Saw it last night....dumbest movie ever!! Very little point, not scary at all, and altough some may say it was gruesome, I was was not freaked out for even a second.....

Originally posted by bogartgreens definitely a pretty sick and twisted flick, but i thought it was real well done...like the vintage horror of the 70s it just builds and builds for what you know is coming in the end for those poor bastards. pretty horrifying overall...definitely won't be planning any backpacking trips overseas for a while.

haha thats crazy , i gotta see this Movie then

I wanna see it again too. Very funny in the beginning

no


i saw it last night... i went with a girl that said she wanted to see it... i had never seen a preview or heard anything about it.. all she told me is that it was a horror movie... im like sure ok, i like horror movies... it was cool, but ya too slow to get started... and even when it did the whole plot behind it wasnt that captivating... and the end could have been better..

Saw = more gruesome and makes you think a hell of a lot more...

Saw > Hostel anyday of the week...
