More quotes by Eli Roth
Even post-WWII, nobody talked about the Holocaust. It wasn't until the '50s that people started talking about it.
Eli Roth
I think filmmakers, in general... There are some awesome, really great filmmakers - but on the whole, filmmakers, actors, I think they are the biggest bunch of whiny, over-paid babies on the planet.
Eli Roth
Look at comic books. It used to be something that only geeks were into. And now it's everywhere.
Eli Roth
People want to be disturbed when they go see a horror movie.
Eli Roth
I never put out a vanilla edition of a DVD.
Eli Roth
All the copycat movies were always PG-13 and people said: Nobody wants violence.
Eli Roth
I've always been a fan of 3D, going back to movies in the '50s. I was part of the early '80s 3D craze, which was coming at you in Jaws 3D, so I've always wanted to make a 3D film.
Eli Roth
The best movies now are called 'thrillers.' Because if you use the word 'horror,' people's associations are straight-to-video crap.
Eli Roth
I'm from Boston, and in Boston, you are born with a baseball bat in your hand. And actually, most of the bats in Massachusetts are used off the field instead of on the field, and we all had baseball bats in our cars in high school.
Eli Roth
Movie stars need to retain some of that mystique if you are a big movie star.
Eli Roth
My parents love it! They're on set. They make cameos in the movie. My father is a psycho-analyst and a professor at Harvard and he told me how many of the other professors at Harvard have gone and seen it. They love 'Hostel' and they love the thought behind it.
Eli Roth
The one negative to horror is that it's always law of diminishing returns. When you go in the funhouse, the ride is never scary the second time. You will never have that pure experience as when you first watch it.
Eli Roth
There's fear in everything, but we can't just succumb to that. We have to suppress it, so we get used to suppressing fear to make it through the our day. Otherwise, we'd become paralyzed by them.
Eli Roth
I like movies like 'Mother's Day', where you watch it, and you've liked it for years as a horror movie.
Eli Roth
I love movies that are just straight-up exploitation, but the ones that endure and the ones that last are the ones where the filmmakers put in that extra level of thought after 25 years you put them on in front of an audience, and they'll respond to it and enjoy it.
Eli Roth
I want a movie that 30 years from now, people can look back and see it as a reflection of where the culture was at - as a barometer of the culture.
Eli Roth
I hear what people say, I read all the reviews, all the blogs, and I am always curious to hear it, because you can't always listen to the good press, you have to hear the bad press, too.
Eli Roth
In musical theater, if you have a song, it has to advance the plot. If you have a song in a musical and it does not advance the plot, it gets dropped.
Eli Roth
Chile could work as a double for L.A. it's very production-friendly and there's terrific talent down there.
Eli Roth
You'd be lucky to get tortured to death in one of my films. It's the best thing that could happen to your career. But I'm very aware that as soon as you put women in this situation, all of a sudden people are like: Wow, well wait a second! Immediately, people become very sensitive to it.
Eli Roth
