The best movies now are called 'thrillers.' Because if you use the word 'horror,' people's associations are straight-to-video crap.

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

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.

I can think of endless horrible things to do to people!

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.

I get a little too obsessive with work.
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.
