Usually you always see first cut is an extended version, because it's basically everything you shot, and you have that version and then you start cutting stuff out.

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 like to get the audiences cozy in their seats, feeling safe, and suddenly they'll be shocked out of their minds.

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

I'm inspired when I find out about something that I didn't know was a remake.

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.

As a storyteller, when you're writing a movie and when you're directing, you want to keep people entertained. That's the whole point, right? It has to be entertaining.
