I haven’t made it a big secret that I like Eli Roth. I’ve even hopped by his Myspace to tell him how amazing I think he is. I think that his mind is warped and for some reason I like that. Take for instance Hostel. It was amazingly gory. I was covering my face because some of it I couldn’t handle. That is the kind of horror movie I like!
New stills from his movie, Cotton, have come out and I hope that exorcism to him will be wicked. The synopsis for the movie is this: Disillusioned by years of defrauding poor believers of their hard-earned cash, evangelical preacher Cotton Marcus decides to put the record straight by producing a spectacular documentary. And put Eli’s spin on it…amazing.
While I was researching the movie Cotton I came across an article that Eli was planning on remaking Tobe Hoopers Funhouse. One of my favorite books by Dean Koontz is Funhouse. I know that they really don’t seem related but it’s the point that they have always intrigued me. Maybe it was the time that my dad took me to a Funhouse in Niagara Falls and I freaked out because someone scared me. So Eli has a great spin on what his Funhouse movie would be like…
“I’m talking with Universal about that one. THE FUNHOUSE is a movie where the first half is brilliant—they set up these great characters—and then they pay off none of them. You have Marco the Magician sawing his daughter in half, the brothers who run the carnival and the funhouse setting. And then it’s all about this weird mutant thing. It should be about the kids getting killed in horrible ways, put in different contraptions in the funhouse and the final girl being strapped into the ride and sent into the tunnels to be confronted by terrifying tableaux of her dead friends. A smart remake could be so much fun. Kill the kids in fabulous ways and continually reuse the bodies by making them freaks in the freak museum, sew their eyes shut, waxworks… That’s the stuff I want to do in a remake of THE FUNHOUSE.”
It’s like a warped Saw. I think I would like Eli’s take on it more. I hope his pitching will work.
