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.

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?

Me, as a moviegoer, before being a filmmaker, I try to think about what movie I would like to see.

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.

It's always very interesting to bet who's going to go first and who is going to have the most unbelievable death. It's always fun to play with that and create more expectation. It's an interesting part of horror movie.

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.

I follow my instincts and I always think about what movie I would like to see. If I want to see it then I'm guessing that some other people might want to see it as well. I never try to think about what people will love or will like, because when you start to think for other people that's where you lose track of the real motivation.
