I regard remaking a film as creating something again.

When I was a kid, I was always watching genre movies on TV.

There is a lot of extreme emotion in Korean film. It's because there are a lot of extremes in Korean society.

I really hate the creature film convention that says you have to wait until the end to see the monster. One hour and all you've seen is just the tip of the creature's tail.

I always write the script by myself.

As a director, or just a film fan who wants to enjoy the festival, Cannes is the worst place to be. But it must be a paradise for distributors and importers.

When you first think of making a monster movie you have to realize that a lot of people may be down on you because there is a big prejudice against such films.
