I'd love to see us get to a point where you can make a movie and not worry about the limits of the violence. Then I think they'd get so violent that people would get bored of it.

Quentin Tarantino faced the same backlash when his films came out until eventually people felt they were actually much smarter.

Twitter is wonderful. You can kill rumours instantly.

Anytime you make a movie, the goal is a wide theatrical release, with the right distributor.

I want to have an ending where people say: "That's the most shocking ending I've ever seen in a mainstream horror film."

My parents love it! They're on set. They make cameos in the movie. My father is a psycho-analyst and a professor at Harvard and he told me how many of the other professors at Harvard have gone and seen it. They love 'Hostel' and they love the thought behind it.

The film, 'Aftershock,' for me is really about how the minor problems in life that we think are so major ultimately mean nothing when a tragedy happens, when a real problem happens.
