I wanted to get back to my style of 20 years ago after a long period of exploring horror and fantasy themes.

I first came to cinema as a passionate filmgoer, when I was a child. Then, when I was a very young man, I became a film critic precisely because of my knowledge of cinema. I did better than others because of this. Then I moved on to screenwriting. I wrote a film with Sergio Leone, 'Once Upon a Time in the West.' And then I moved to directing.

I want to do what I want when I want to do it not be dictated to by audiences.

Without psychology, the horror film doesn't exist.

I used a Luma crane, a wounderful device; it makes the camera able to go anywhere. It was also used on Friday the 13th Part 3.

I'm very interested in portraying homosexual man and woman in my films because I'm interested in their lives and their problems.

Americans are very enthusiastic. We have a new generation of moviegoers who love great horror films. I am a very imaginative man, and for me, it's easy to speak with my dark side. I have very beautiful, interesting nightmares.
