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

I went through a phase where I thought nostalgia was a bad thing.

I've been lucky enough to have had the luxury of being able to make the picture I've wanted to make each time on my own terms and without compromise.

To try and raise a budget for a film that is strictly for adults and both strong and graphic in content is not easy, especially when there is pressure to spend serious money on good special effects.

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.

Each film I make changes me in some way. When I start the picture I'm one person and by the time I finish I'm another.

Maybe when I stop making movies, I'll understand my work better.
