I feel like in the '90s, horror just lost its way and everything became so safe and watered-down.
Eli Roth
Image
Everyone is so terrified of being labeled a racist.
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.

Horror movies are the best date movies. There's no wondering , 'When do I put my arm around her?'
Eli Roth

As a kid, I was the neighbourhood baby-sitter - very responsible, always in charge.
Eli Roth
Image
Natural disasters are terrifying - that loss of control, this feeling that something is just going to randomly end your life for absolutely no reason is terrifying. But, what scares me is the human reaction to it and how people behave when the rules of civility and society are obliterated.
Eli Roth
Image
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
Image
Life is a series of avoiding horrible situations until ultimately you're dead. That's how I feel about things.
Eli Roth
Image
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
Image
I get a little too obsessive with work.

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.

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

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.
