I think American Werewolf in London is the greatest werewolf movie of all time.

Movies are designed to tell us stories, engage us on an emotional level and keep our attention. This can be done with a wide range of emotional triggers - Love, adrenaline, comedy. But fear is a highly potent sensation.

You can argue that the Terminator movies reboot their world each time they go back in time, but that doesn't negate the value of Terminator 1 and 2. So I don't really feel that way.

On the lower budget pictures, you go overtime more, you're sort of scrambling for the shots and cobbling together more ideas at the end.

All sizes of film sets have the same level of excitement and friction and tension and then vast sections of boredom that define the process, so I love it all.

If you can get an audience to identify themselves with a character, they will subconsciously feel that their own lives are in danger. People tend to pay attention in situations like that. I think fear is the easiest, and most visceral, emotion to activate in an audience.
