I have control issues. For sure, no question.
Eli Roth

Quentin Tarantino assistant called me and said: I have good news and bad news. The good news is you got the part, the bad news is you have to do it. I was like: Oh Jesus, when am I supposed to do this? I was prepping Hostel.

You can pretend everything's fine, but if there's an unhappiness or you're not having sex or you're not communicating or you're made to feel third best in the house and you don't address it and you just try to put on a nice face and a smile, that kind of aggression and anger is going to come out in some sinister way.

I've always dreamed of having a year-round haunted house.

Pulp Fiction won the Palme d'Or and people said: Wait a minute, he's actually smart and he knows what he's doing! I feel that with Hostel, any time you make a film like that it's going to illicit a strong reaction and you can't worry about that.

Life is a series of avoiding horrible situations until ultimately you're dead. That's how I feel about things.

'Beatrice Cenci' was an amazing film. If it were released today it'd win Best Picture. It's so well done, it's so contemporary, and the filmmaking is so smart.
Eli Roth

Horror audiences don't need to see some TV actor they're familiar with.
Eli Roth
Image
It's just assumed that a horror sequel is going to be bad. It's never going to be as good as the first one.
Eli Roth
Image
I felt people responded to two things. One, obviously, is the gore and the scenes like the eye gauging.
Eli Roth
Image
I was listening to music to kind of pump myself up and get psyched up, like I was listening to Iron Maiden and Misfits and Dead Kennedys, and it was like my '80s Massachusetts parking-lot heavy metal and Guns N' Roses.
Eli Roth
Image
Much of my youth was spent in the parking lot or inside a Dunkin' Donuts.
Eli Roth
Image
I get a little too obsessive with work.
Eli Roth
Image
Even post-WWII, nobody talked about the Holocaust. It wasn't until the '50s that people started talking about 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.
Eli Roth
Image
I don't want people to feel: Why am I watching this? It's sick and sadistic. I want people to watch and think it's scary but they can't wait to see what happens next. I also wanted to make a movie that was watchable.
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.
