Ive found that if you just try to make the film you want, youll find the right audience. If you try to please everyone, youre going to make really boring films.

I just go with what excites me.

Theres just something wonderful about getting a small group of people together in an isolated location, and theres something about cabins themselves that imply both horror and fun. When you go to a cabin, youre usually going to have a good time.

Everything I've ever worked on has been hard to classify.

The truth is, writing and directing are two very different jobs. They're not even remotely the same job. It took me a while, as a director, to understand that.

I love superheroes and I love weird horror films... I could definitely feel that there was a lack of movies like The Martian being made: smart genre movies that can appeal to adults.

I don't like nihilistic characters. As bad guys they're great, but as heroes they don't work.
