Eli Roth Horror Quotations

Horror movies are the best date movies. There's no wondering, 'When do I put my arm around her?'

People want to be disturbed when they go see a horror movie.

I want to have an ending where people say: "That's the most shocking ending I've ever seen in a mainstream horror film."

It's just assumed that a horror sequel is going to be bad. It's never going to be as good as the first one.

I think in the late '80s and early '90s horror was dead.

Horror movies are the best date movies. There's no wondering , 'When do I put my arm around her?'

I feel like in the '90s, horror just lost its way and everything became so safe and watered-down.

I think horror should never be safe, whether it's violent or non violent.

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

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

People don't enjoy violence in real life, but they love it in their movies. And I think a lot of studio horror movies don't want to offend anybody. If there's anything that's too far out there, they test it and if it offends people, they take it out. But Open Water , Wolf Creek , The Devil's Rejects - these are movies made outside of the studio system, that don't have a happy ending. (The studios and critics) forget that that's what people are paying for - to be terrified and disturbed.
