When I go see an R-rated horror movie, I want lots of violence.

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

I want an iPhone 5, someone said something nasty on twitter, or my boyfriend isn't texting me back, like whatever the thing is that seems so major in your life, when a real disaster hits you suddenly strips it all away and you see what's really important and who you really are.

Eli Roth

You know, the best thing you can say about a horror film is, 'Don't see it.'
Eli Roth

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

Imagine trying to relive your worst break-up, your worst fight, the most painful death of a loved one, and just really relive it step by step, and bring it up and apply it to the scene you're in.

You can pretend everything's fine, but if there's an unhappiness or you're not having sex or you're not communicating or you're made to feel third best in the house and you don't address it and you just try to put on a nice face and a smile, that kind of aggression and anger is going to come out in some sinister way.
