scarface and hostel

yes i had never seen this film before yesterday and is weird but what's coo is that i saw the original first. something like nobody i know has done.
I do like this film and de palma does a great job making the scarface story matter to current audiences. The violence is very extreme but that's how they felt in the 30's when the original came out. also drugs can easily fit in where probabtion was in the original.
It all works very well. in fact you can hardly tell it is a remake which is awesome. You can tell De Palma is a big film fan. but i wish there were more of the trademarks De palma long shots or something. i really like those and i feel like this film could use alot of that.
That's really my only complaint. if you like the godfather or just action movies see this movie.


I saw Eli Roth's previous film and hated it. However this one i liked alot. in fact it's probably the only modern horror film i've liked this decade.
It's not really scary but i's well written and gross as hell showing influences from polanski and hitchcock this film works.
well ok it is kinda scary but not that way halloween was it's just like makes you think scary.
I don't know
The thing is this film is well made everything works and is set up well and i wouldn't mind seeing the sequal and defently i would see another film by eli roth. He is the big horror director and hostel is the reason why.
Also i havn't seen any of the Sawz but i would but this down as my favoirte torture horror film i've seen in current day.
