Eli would ask them "Why would you watch ALL of them?". Cabin Fever has FIVE commentaries, Hostel has four and Hostel Part 2 has three.

Eli Raphael Roth (born April 18, 1972) is an American film director, producer, writer and actor. A proud member of a group of horror directors known as the Splat Pack, Roth is known for his financially successful {{Gorn}} films, sparking the latest trend of R-rated {{horror}} films during a time when PG-13 films were considered more lucrative.

QuentinTarantino loves him like a brother - they clearly have a lot in common. Best not to ask what that involves. But it sounds like a lot of fun.

[[SmallNameBigEgo Uwe Boll]] thinks he's a no-talent hack. [[{{Caddyshack}} So he's got that going for him. Which is nice.]]

* TropeBreaker: Roth has long voiced his disapproval of the longstanding horror film trope that says that [[DeathBySex promiscuous characters always die (and die horribly)]] while the virgin character ends up the last (wo)man standing. As such, it's common to see in his films that [[spoiler: the virgin girl/guy always dying and dying horribly while the manslut/slutty female character survives or at the very least, is the last one killed)]].
