This leading role is long overdue for Danny Trejo. At least someone finally got around to doing a movie with him at the center stage.

This will be as good, cheesy, fun, funny, and badass as Planet Terror and Death Proof. It won't take itself too seriously at all, and that is what would be so good about it. This will be crazy.

WOW! I had no idea this was real, I just thought it was a random made up trailer, to add to the effect of Planet Terror. Cool!

Eli Roth is awesome sure hostel isn't that great but Cabin Fever was pretty original and that says a lot given the current state of the horror genre. Thanksgiving and Machete will rock.
