Eli Roth’s Student Film ‘Restaurant Dogs’ Finally Released
After years and years of being hidden away, Restaurant Dogs, “the student film that almost stopped Eli Roth from graduating“, has been released for the world to see! An obvious homage to Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs, the 10-minute film is definitely something to behold, mixing live footage with animation to create something…well, just watch it for yourself.
Roth stated in an opening forward with a wry smirk, “The only theater it ever played in was MOMA [Museum of Modern Art].”
The video was exclusively premiered on Crypt TV.

From director David Ayer (Suicide Squad, Fury), Heart of the Beast will hit theaters on September 25 from Paramount Pictures, and GQ shares first look images this week.
In the film, a former Army Special Forces soldier and his retired combat dog attempt to return to civilization after suffering a catastrophic accident deep in the Alaskan wilderness.
Brad Pitt stars in the survival thriller Heart of the Beast, with J.K. Simmons (Whiplash) and Anna Lambe (“True Detective: Night Country”) also starring.
Cameron Alexander wrote the screenplay for Heart of the Beast. Academy Award winner Mauro Fiore (Avatar, Spider-Man: No Way Home) serves as director of photography.
“I’ll just be really honest: it made me cry,” Ayer tells GQ of the script. “Reading the script, it’s like a tone poem, in a sense. It’s so sparse—just a guy, a dog, mountains, and the calamities and triumphs that unfold, but what’s fascinating about the script is they’re constantly rescuing each other. It’s not like a guy and his pet—they felt like co-equals in this story. Brad wanted to be No. 2 on the call sheet, and rightly so. There was just something profound in the script. It felt like a study in grief, in healing, and of the human heart. So I had to do it.”
Ayer promises, “Don’t worry, the dog lives.”
