No matter how gory Eli Roth's films may be, the Thanksgiving director doesn't believe in the animal violence trope that remains prevalent in the horror genre.
"I'm an animal lover and I made a documentary called Fin about the slaughter of sharks. Sharks are completely misunderstood and killed for no reason. They keep our ocean healthy and keep our oxygen clean. But they've been demonized in movies and they're all being wiped out for nothing. It's complete insanity," Roth tells GamesRadar+. "So I'm always seeing things from the animal's point of view. I'm seeing it from the turkey's point of view. Whenever I watch a horror movie and I see a cat or a dog, I don't care about anyone else in the movie. I just go, 'Please don't let anything happen to the cat.'"
