5. Eli Roths First Barf
Horror filmmakers love to wax lyrical about the films that inspired them to become filmmakers or which cemented their love of horror movies. John Carpenter, for example, went to see The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, came out with a big grin on his face and then, in his own words, slept like a baby. Alien caused many of its audience members to throw up out of shock (more on that later), but none more significant than Eli Roth. Roth cites it as the first film which made him physically sick, and which began his love affair with horror movies. So no Alien, no Cabin Fever, no Hostel, no wait a minute
