I try to think about me, as an audience member, and it [inspiration for movies] comes from there.

When you do a slasher film, you find yourself repeating the same kind of scene, then it becomes not very challenging and not very interesting.

I'm always on the side of the characters, rather than the side of the people attacking them. I get realistic. It's not gratuitous.

You have to be realistic in the use of blood in the movies. There is a little bit more than a gallon in a human being. If you have a few thousand people, that makes a lot of blood. I'm very realistic in my use of blood.

Hollywood changed to become a more marketing-driven Hollywood, where people who are running the studios are more like marketing people, and they need titles.

Casting is so important in horror. It's so important to have strong actors to tell a story because, if you don't believe in the character, how can you be scared for them?

That is the limit of IMDb. You can get into any IMDb page and hack stuff.
