There's an interview with director Eli Roth over here.
Roth directed the film Cabin Fever, which was definitely flawed but had a great stretch in the middle that stands as one of the scariest, most gruesome, best directed sequences I've seen in a horror film in awhile, so it's definitely worth catching if you haven't seen it already (and, of course, if you're into that sorta thing). If you have seen it, I speak of leg-shaving and rabid dogs.
Anyway, he's a filmmaker worth watching. I caught him on a doc on the Audition DVD, where he sat in a room with direcor Takashi Miike and behaved exactly as I would in a room with Takashi Miike - that is, turn into a gushing geek.
And from what I hear, the film he's working on finishing now, Hostel, is a sort of tribute to the world of Miike, or at least it was inspired by Miike's balls-out gore-rific style. Which is what I've been waiting for an American director to do. We need that.
Unfortunately there's still no word on when Hostel will be released... I was hoping before the end of the year. Hmm.
