In another life, I would love to be the art guy - a production designer or a maybe even a composer.

I think the more honest you are with the storytelling, the better it works.

When you're a director you always feel weird with another director watching over your shoulder.

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

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.

In general I think the inspiration was to think about all those movies that I saw as a kid and never knew they were remakes, because I know there's probably another kid going to watch Evil Dead who has no idea.

I try not to be spectacular with the camera. I try to be a witness of what's going on.
