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.
Eli Roth
I generally follow my own compass and make films about what's scaring me.
Eli Roth
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.
Eli Roth
As a kid, I was the neighbourhood baby-sitter - very responsible, always in charge.
Eli Roth
