Eli Roth = HACK. The end.

Sounds like Boyle is jealous. Why attack him now... Timing must not be his thing, given his efforts on Sunshine and 28 Days Later.

BTW, I'm not a Roth fan-boy neither.

let's face it, the both suck

What's this? Eyebrow wars?

Too right!

Eli Roth needs to grow up now! the guy's a sodding infant mentally...

28 Days Later is actually good. I don't know if I can say the same for Cabin Fever or either of the Hostel films....

What Sean said.

I've enjoyed Danny Boyle's films more than Roth's and I'm a horror fan. Hostel in particular was missing something for me. It was kind of soulless. Cabin Fever had a lot more chutzpah.

PANCAKES!

But Eli Roth doesn't make "good" horror movies...his "horror" movies are more like comedies...at least thats how i've always seen them. Im not being a Roth-Boy but I really feel that he is doing something new and fairly unique with the genre of "Gross-out" movies...and adding some humor to them.

By the way i really enjoyed 28 Days Later...

For me, Eli Roth is more into the "exploitation" type horror. For that reason alone, I find his work to be of less substance. That doesn't mean it's bad. It just means that, for me, it's not all that great. To me, none of it is scary. It is all about shock value rather than being able to actually care about what's going on.

So it really probably boils down to a matter of what you like. Personally, I consider someone like Rob Zombie ("House of a 1,000 Corpses", "The Devil's Rejects") to be in the same genre of "exploitation" violence. (His foray into "Halloween" is interesting to say the least.) So I consider Zombie and Roth very much alike in that sense.

Hostel part 2 seemed not to be very scary and disturbed. Danny Boyle might refer to Roth's latest
flick. But Cabin Fever is pretty good, I think.

I thought 28 Days Later was okay, mostly because I like Cillian Murphy though. I prefer Eli Roth over Danny Boyle any day. I think it's sad that Boyle has nothing better to than talk about how he thinks he is better, which will perhaps just make Eli retaliate with words and make Ol' Danny Boy feel like a fool. If and when Roth chooses to say that, I will have to agree.

I loved trainspotting, great movie, 28 days later was ok. Boyle does not seem to understand the new wave of horror. Roth is a young master of the genre. Roth spins a tale that is smart, gory, and edge of your sit damn good!!! In these homogenized corporate times, it's great to have a writer/director like Eli, who is not afraid of making movies that are not friday night date movies.
Hats off to Roth let the bloody good times roll!!!!!!

Fuck Boyle, the 28 day/week films are good, but I was far more disturbed by Hostel. Not the sequel (5/10) or Cabin Fever(4/10) , just Hostel. (8/10)

Funny that Eli Roth made it, his other two movies kinda suck and left no impact on me whatsoever. Hostel II has its moments though, I guess.

most horror films suck. to much is put on blood, violence and death. hostle sucks, you see everything coming, just like most 'horror' films. i think 28 days later was extremely good, 11 out of 10. it wasnt the actual movie that was scary, it was the situation, and it had good character formation. it was also suspensful and thats something that the majority of horror films aremissing today. 28 weeks wasnt as good, but so happens that the parts people like the most are the ones boyle was there for(the begining, and some shots at the end. but truth is they both beat the shit out of saw III+ saw I and II were ok, but now they have gone too far and lost all story. hostle 2 lost story also, along with 28 weeks, but that wasnt boyles film..

28 Days Later is a thousand times better than Hostel or Cabin Fever. Boyle is 100% right, Hostel isn't scary, it's story is an excuse for nudity and cringe inducing gore, but that's about it. Torture films like Hostel are killing all the fun of horror films.
