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

I think in life we get very caught up in the minutia and, unfortunately, it generally takes some sort of tragedy in your life to put things in perspective.

Eli Roth

It's very flattering to feel like you actually helped create a sub-genre.

I want it to be able to hold up in 30 years' time. So, I'm really thinking about everything.
Eli Roth
Image
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.
Eli Roth
Image
I get a little too obsessive with work.
Eli Roth
Image
All the copycat movies were always PG-13 and people said: Nobody wants violence.
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
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
Image
I love historical movies. I want to make a violent medieval epic.
Eli Roth
Image
Much of my youth was spent in the parking lot or inside a Dunkin' Donuts.

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.
