I read recently that Eli Roth has made a sequel to Hostel, which is probably about the most disturbing and sickening film I have ever made the mistake of watching.

The article in this months Film magazine writes it is going to begin with 45 minutes of sex, and then its into the torture. Once again in true Tarantino style, Roth is pushing the boundaries of acceptibilty by portraying sickening scenes of outrageous violence and sadism. Scenes are to include the graphic dismemberment of a male by a female, and the torture of 3 girls.

Look, I'm not against violence in films, so long as its done with some style. But there are just too many sick fucks out there who get off on this kind of shit. I like a good thriller such as Halloween, or a classic horror movie like Elm Street, but this film is marking a trend started by Tarantino in the 90's with the Reservoir Dog's torture scene and it's highly irresponsible.

Stanley Kubrick, himself credited for portraying the darker side of violence but in a more eloquent/artistic way with the brilliant Clockwork Orange, realised the repercussions his film was having and later pulled it from British release for fear of his own life, following a spate of copy cat murders and death threats.

Television puts ideas in people minds, it influences society in many ways.
