You have to write scenes and design scenes that are scary and horrific, but that are also watchable. I didn't want people to just feel like they got punched in the stomach.

A comedy can actually get funnier and funnier. Even though you know the joke, you enjoy it so much, it's the facial expression, you laugh. The laugh doesn't wear off. It could be with you for thirty years.

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.

I'll direct any movie starring a monkey or the Olsen Twins. Preferably both.

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

Anytime you make a movie, the goal is a wide theatrical release, with the right distributor.
Eli Roth
Image
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.

Image
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.

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.

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.

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

I think horror should never be safe, whether it's violent or non violent.
