I think horror should never be safe, whether it's violent or non violent.
Eli Roth
Image
You know, the best thing you can say about a horror film is, 'Don't see it.'
Eli Roth

I was listening to music to kind of pump myself up and get psyched up, like I was listening to Iron Maiden and Misfits and Dead Kennedys, and it was like my '80s Massachusetts parking-lot heavy metal and Guns N' Roses.

Movie stars need to retain some of that mystique if you are a big movie star.

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 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.

I'm from Boston, and in Boston, you are born with a baseball bat in your hand. And actually, most of the bats in Massachusetts are used off the field instead of on the field, and we all had baseball bats in our cars in high school.

I get a little too obsessive with work.
Eli Roth
Image
I can think of endless horrible things to do to people!
Eli Roth
Image
I think in the late '80s and early '90s horror was dead.
Eli Roth
Image
I feel like in the '90s, horror just lost its way and everything became so safe and watered-down.
Eli Roth
Image
Even post-WWII, nobody talked about the Holocaust. It wasn't until the '50s that people started talking about it.

I'll direct any movie starring a monkey or the Olsen Twins. Preferably both.

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.
