I've always dreamed of having a year-round haunted house.
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.
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 like movies like 'Mother's Day', where you watch it, and you've liked it for years as a horror movie.
Eli Roth
Image
There's fear in everything, but we can't just succumb to that. We have to suppress it, so we get used to suppressing fear to make it through the our day. Otherwise, we'd become paralyzed by them.

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'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.

People want to be disturbed when they go see a horror movie.
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.
Eli Roth
Image
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
Image
Horror movies are the best date movies. There's no wondering , 'When do I put my arm around her?'

What's important for me is staying healthy.

Chile could work as a double for L.A. it's very production-friendly and there's terrific talent down there.

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

Image
I feel like in the '90s, horror just lost its way and everything became so safe and watered-down.
Eli Roth
Image
I think that horror films have a very direct relationship to the time in which they're made. The films that really strike a film with the public are very often reflecting something that everyone, consciously or unconsciously feeling - atomic age, post 9-11, post Iraq war it's hard to predict what people are going to be afraid of.

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