“The difference is in Hostel it's in the theatre - it's in public but it's in a private place. You have to actively make a choice to want to go see it. It's not being forced on anyone.

People are scared of it. This is a subject matter that everyone's talking about and everyone's thinking about, particularly in American culture.” PeopleThinkingWantMatterShowsChoicesCultureStuffDifferencesRoomsTalkingSeeingSubjectsScaredTheatreAccessMainstreamAmerican CultureYoutubeSubject MatterLiving Room Author:Eli Roth
