10 Horror Legends' Favourite Movies
8. Eli Roth (Master Of Modern Gore)
Whilst he's no Cronenberg, Eli Roth has been dubbed part of the 'Splat Pack' for creating violent and gory low-budget films.
His films Cabin Fever (2002), Hostel (2005) and Hostel: Part II (2007) has been praised in the horror community, but have been noted to contribute to the torture-porn sub-genre. Although he didn't write it, Roth also directed The House with a Clock in Its Walls (2018), which is his first family PG-13 film.
Roth has listed some of his favourite horror films as Sleepaway Camp (1983), Troll 2 (1990), Creepshow (1982), Zombi 2 (1980) and Pieces (1982). He also praised directors Ridley Scott, Steven Spielberg, Tobe Hooper, George A. Romero and Stanley Kubrick as influencing his career.
