That was pretty cool.

I imagine there are quite a few directors that can pull off a trailer like that: Spielberg, Scorsese, Tarentino, etc. We really don't have a horror grand master in our current time. Shyamalan really screwed up with The Happening. It really wouldn't work for Hostel since it is not a psychological thriller but more of a slasher. Hitchcock was truly one of a kind.

Fantastic, Trailers from Hell is one of my favorite websites, it's awesome to see it among the ranks of /film articles.

Links to the original, if you want to hear what Hitch has to say rather than listen to Eli Roth.

Eli may have thought what Hitchcock was saying was terribly boring but I laughed and was truly interested. He gave insight into why the birds might start killing people.

Eli Roth is a hack.
