A Heather Buckley Joint

Eli Roth’s projects work within a certain framework. Young, beautiful, privileged party people, having a great time, only to be interrupted by almost fantastically horrible life events. Flesh-eating bacteria. Torture chambers times two. They suffer and scream. They wind up bloody, watching their loved ones die in front of them. These same themes are also explored within Aftershock, a film that he stars in, co-wrote and produced. Though I would not even call it a movie, maybe an exercise; a very tertiary level exploration of what happens when it all goes very wrong.

Eli Roth Talks Aftershock, Green Inferno and Horror That Makes People Throw Up

Aftershock; a tale of hot people partying and the earthquake that wants to eat them; hits theaters today! Heather Buckley saw down with Eli Roth to find out why hot people..why earthquakes..and why now?

Produced, co-written by, and starring Hostel's Eli Roth, and co-written and directed by native Chilean Nicolás López, Aftershock tells the harrowing tale of a group of party goers that face a devastating earthquake and the chaotic aftermath. Here at Idle Hands we were lucky enough to drop in on Roth and get the details on the film and insights into his methods and concepts, which, are explored throughout his projects. A good time interrupted by sudden death.
