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?

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

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.

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

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.
