![]() ![]() John Neff, David Lynch's sound mixer, saw the film and said that the way Bert gets it by looking at his waist and seeing the spots was identical. I mean even the part of the disease which I fictionalised in my head, spreading through the water, I later found out actually happened.Īny survivors that you know have seen the film and commented on it?ĮLI ROTH: Yeah, actually. Two weeks before I went to Toronto, I found out about three fishermen who died from contracting this virus through the water. I really did research it through survival stories on various websites. I found out about a foundation behind one particular disease through High Society magazine, my favourite porn magazine, which said "Flesh Eater: Is this worse than AIDS?" and there's pictures of before and after. ![]() I had a number of horrific medical experiences beyond shaving my face off and the skin infection. How much research did you do into the virus?ĮLI ROTH: A lot of it I based on things that happened to me. There's no question that I took certain scenes, but I wanted people to know that I wasn't just doing a complete rip off, you know, as who cares about that! At film school, I really learned how to dissect a screenplay in a movie and analyse it structurally. And I said, so structurally, what am I going to do and so I looked at Sam Raimi's THE EVIL DEAD John Carpenter's THE THING and Tobe Hooper's THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE and looked at what made these films so successful: how many characters were there what were the relationship dynamics at what point do they reach their destination at what point does the first character die etc. There's certain things like structurally, where I sat down and looked at my favourite directors and their career trajectories and I thought Sam Raimi, Peter Jackson and David Lynch, all these people started by making small low budget ground making horror movies. There are a lot of references to other films in there, how deliberate was that?ĮLI ROTH: Well, there's certain things like the ass shot in THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, that's something that I was doing in the storyboards before the shoot. There's a two second delay with the subtitles, which is fun to watch when the audience get the comedy. I love watching it with different audiences over the world. That has been the most incredible, surreal, trippy thing. Tobe Hooper, Wes Craven, you know my favourite directors who are suddenly inviting me to lunch. David Lynch loved it Peter Jackson stopped production on LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING three times to screen it for everybody Quentin Tarantino waited inline to watch it at the L.A film festival and invited me into his house to watch movies. The thing that I didn't expect, that's truly overwhelming is the way that my favourite directors have responded. It's wonderful to be the guy that had that happen to him.ĮLI ROTH: The people who are prepared for it, that think it's going to be fun and disgusting and are ready to laugh and have a good time and get scared, they're the ones who have an open mind and enjoy it the most. ![]() ![]() You make a movie dreaming that you'll get to go all over the world with it and that it'll play in theatres everywhere. Obviously, anything can happen when you're making a film and it's what I dreamed of. I didn't make a film just to show in my parent's house, you know, in their basement.
