I think the problem is that Roth became the poster boy for 'torture porn' and has suffered ever since, most of his films have been entertaining if nothing else. Most of them have awful characters that you can not smyphaise with but in a horror is that really too important? I know there is supposed to be a least one likeable character in a film but Roth does like to play mean tricks.
Regardless of his filmatic output he is obviously a total horror nerd and a visable one at that which isn't such a bad thing.
