Lucio Fulci is such a massively underrated director. Everyone knows him as the Godfather of Gore.

I have control issues. For sure, no question.

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

Anytime you're the first to speak out against something, there's going to be a backlash.

I need to eliminate 'like' from my vocabulary. I begin sentences with, 'That's seriously like ' I hear myself talking in this Los Angeles high-school student kind of way, and I hate it.

People want to be disturbed when they go see a horror movie.

The censors were great. There's always back and forth. But it's 'Hostel 2', it's not 'Happy Feet 2'. Everybody knows what Hostel is and people that are going to see it are going for more of what they loved in the original. No one is accidentally going to walk into it, no parent is accidentally going to take their child, and we're not pretending what it is in the advertising. We're saying it's very violent, it's very scary and a continuation of the first one.
