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

I want people to see my name on a movie, pay money and know they're going to be entertained for 90 minutes.

We live in an age now where so many people watch movies based on what Netflix recommends. It learns your taste and they really understand viewer habits.

I have so many different projects, I hear voices in my head - the characters talking all at once - and I have to write to make them stop.

Well, anytime I make a movie, I like to load it up with more things than you could ever catch on the first viewing.

As a kid, my idols were Sam Raimi and Peter Jackson, and I get into crazy races with myself. Raimi was 21 when he made movies, and when I didn't get 'Cabin Fever' made that fast I thought I'd failed.

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.
