I never put out a vanilla edition of a DVD.

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.

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

Much of my youth was spent in the parking lot or inside a Dunkin' Donuts.

The point of the first one was that it was about guys being lured by sex and the stereotypes... I always say it's like a horror version of Borat. Borat's not an accurate depiction of Khazakstan, it's an accurate depiction of America. That's what Hostel is.

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.

I felt people responded to two things. One, obviously, is the gore and the scenes like the eye gauging.
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.

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.

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

Creative writing and shooting are muscles that atrophy. But when you work them, you become a self-generator who can branch out.

Borat shows American stereotypes of Eastern Europe but it's an accurate depiction of what a certain type of American is. They think they can buy and sell these girls and then they get bought and sold.

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

I get a little too obsessive with work.

I generally follow my own compass and make films about what's scaring me.
