More quotes by Eli Roth
People want to be disturbed when they go see a horror movie.
Eli Roth
I feel like in the '90s, horror just lost its way and everything became so safe and watered-down.
Eli Roth
I want it to be able to hold up in 30 years' time. So, I'm really thinking about everything.
Eli Roth
The film, 'Aftershock,' for me is really about how the minor problems in life that we think are so major ultimately mean nothing when a tragedy happens, when a real problem happens.
Eli Roth
Once I got over the fear of writing female characters, it actually came quite easily and I was really happy with it. I just thought about girls I knew really, really well and I'd just have conversations with them and tried to relay how they talk about certain things.
Eli Roth
Even the European critics... They said Hostel is the smartest film they'd seen on capitalism and how it's gone too far.
Eli Roth
The world is changing. Social media is a way to sell movies and to build a fan base. The truth is that you have followers because they know you are into it and you're funny and you like it. I think it's great.
Eli Roth
I've always been fascinated by the idea that there's no such thing as evil it's all in your point of view. To one group a suicide bomber is the antichrist and to one he's a hero.
Eli Roth
As a kid, my idols were Sam Raimi and Peter Jackson, and I get into crazy races with myself. Raimi was 21 when he made movies, and when I didn't get 'Cabin Fever' made that fast I thought I'd failed.
Eli Roth
You know, the best thing you can say about a horror film is, 'Don't see it.'
Eli Roth
Horror audiences don't need to see some TV actor they're familiar with.
Eli Roth
I'm not interested in going after a part. I think if someone wants me for a part and approaches me then I'll take it on a case-by-case basis and see what that part is.
Eli Roth
Imagine trying to relive your worst break-up, your worst fight, the most painful death of a loved one, and just really relive it step by step, and bring it up and apply it to the scene you're in.
Eli Roth
I think horror should never be safe, whether it's violent or non violent.
Eli Roth
I have so many different projects, I hear voices in my head - the characters talking all at once - and I have to write to make them stop.
Eli Roth
I need to eliminate 'like' from my vocabulary. I begin sentences with, 'That's seriously like ' I hear myself talking in this Los Angeles high-school student kind of way, and I hate 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
Much of my youth was spent in the parking lot or inside a Dunkin' Donuts.
Eli Roth
Look at comic books. It used to be something that only geeks were into. And now it's everywhere.
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.
