Video: Eli Roth Phones Dad To Sing Happy Birthday At World Premiere

Eli Roth may make really fucked-up and disturbing movies but is really a big teddy bear at heart. Here is Robert A. Mitchell's video of Eli phoning his dad to wish him a happy 75th birthday from the Midnight Madness stage at the world premiere of THE GREEN INFERNO. It's moments like these that truly make Midnight Madness so magical and special.

THE GREEN INFERNO Complete World Premiere Interviews

There was much anticipation for Eli Roth's THE GREEN INFERNO. His first film as a director since Hostel II back in 2007. Robert Mitchell found himself in the jungle that is the red carpet and barely made it out with this footage of Eli and his amazing cast.

Pics From The World Premiere of THE GREEN INFERNO!

If you didn't know, now you know - Eli Roth always brings the party to Midnight Madness and last night's premiere of The Green Inferno was no different.  With the cast and crew on hand, as well as horror directors and Midnight Madness alums Ti West, Alex Aja, and of course Bobcat Goldthwait in attendance, the Ryerson nearly consumed itself with excitement.

Ian Goring was there to bring you all the highlights from what would prove to be one of the most magical nights in Midnight Madness history!

The always dapper, Smilin' Eli Roth!

The lovely Lorenza Izzo, making her second appearance at MM!

The whole Green Inferno team!

You won't find a more stunning pair on any red carpet at TIFF (sit down, Cumberbatch!)

Is it just me or does this ball get bigger every year?

Colin Geddes brings up Nextwave programmer Matilda Davidson for her 18th birthday, and surely her first R-rated film *wink*

Never let it be said that Eli Roth doesn't know how to make an entrance

Eli Roth also helps celebrate a birthday, by FaceTime-ing his father on his 75th...

...While the cast and the whole audience sang happy birthday!

And of course, Mama Roth had to weigh in as well.

As if that weren't enough, a surprise run-in by Bobcat Goldthwait!

Who proceeded to demonstrate why we don't text during a movie...

...by smashing a hapless audience members' phone with a hammer.

Eli Roth takes questions from the audience

And out of nowhere, announces a sequel!

Roth describes one of the many insane stories from what sounds like a completely batshit shoot!

But hey, it's all in the name of good fun, right? I mean, what's a few ant-bites between friends?

Haha! Diarrhea!

Cast and crew alike wrap up one of the best nights in Midnight Madness history.

You have only one more chance to see The Green Inferno and it's tomorrow! Don't miss it, or you might find your eyes and tongue pulled out and eaten raw.  Just sayin'.
