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.

I love historical movies. I want to make a violent medieval epic.

Even post-WWII, nobody talked about the Holocaust. It wasn't until the '50s that people started talking about it.
Eli Roth
Image
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
Image
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.

You know, the best thing you can say about a horror film is, 'Don't see it.'
Eli Roth
Image
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.

Horror audiences don't need to see some TV actor they're familiar with.
Eli Roth
Image
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.

Look at comic books. It used to be something that only geeks were into. And now it's everywhere.

All the copycat movies were always PG-13 and people said: Nobody wants violence.

Image
Creative writing and shooting are muscles that atrophy. But when you work them, you become a self-generator who can branch out.
Eli Roth
Image
I like movies like 'Mother's Day', where you watch it, and you've liked it for years as a horror movie.

What's important for me is staying healthy.

I think in life we get very caught up in the minutia and, unfortunately, it generally takes some sort of tragedy in your life to put things in perspective.
