Well okay, I consider myself a “film nerd” but I still don’t see what those “old Hollyvood techniques” contribute to the film, that is, the one who enjoys knowing it, great, but I think it adds 0 value to the product, not as an artistic work or as a commercial product.
This is the kind of thing that ruins careers and maybe even production companies. Of course, Eli Roth will never be given a big budget to direct again and in the cast of the film, more than one will drop significantly in their next works.
