It's very flattering to feel like you actually helped create a sub-genre.

I felt people responded to two things. One, obviously, is the gore and the scenes like the eye gauging.

I like movies like 'Mother's Day', where you watch it, and you've liked it for years as a horror movie.

Believe it or not, but I was a camp councilor for three years. I love kids.

With 'Hostel II' I thought I had a very, very strong female audience so I'm going to make a movie that's going to appeal to them. The guys will love it, they'll have their moments. But there'll be a lot more male nudity in this one. I have a lot of sausage in this one!

Sometimes you have this tragedy which turns into an incredible opportunity.

When I'm filming a kill scene [as a director], I just get happier and happier as we chop up body parts.
