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.

In the horror genre, unfortunately you sometimes have the studio tell you, "No, go with more unknown people because it's a scary movie," and I disagree.

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

When I approach a story or movie, the story is the most important thing.

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.
