I love just about every aspect of the filmmaking except acting. I would never be able to do that, but the rest I really enjoy.

I need to create a whole cinematic experience. I think that's what it takes to get the audience to the theater and justify seeing [a movie] on a big screen. You have to give them a cinematic experience.

I think a good actor will always know the character better than anybody.

Not all horror fans love Evil Dead because of the humor, at least not me.

As a director, there is nothing more fun than seeing an audience screaming and jumping. You are the ultimate puppet master, controlling the emotions of the audience.

I always say that I am a big fan of films but I am an even bigger fan of the filmmaking craft.

There's always a tone that you have to hit right in horror. With the blood, you want to make sure that it makes sense all along.
