I take things from everywhere, and I still haven't figured out where I took [some things] from.

Honestly, when you're writing you try to stay on the story, on the character's mind, trying to throw stuff at them. There is danger, and the scares have to kick in the right places with the drama. And you try not to do too much to try to create those moments. Those moments create themselves.

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

If you think about it, a lot of great horror films have bad sequels just because the market demands you to make the other one right away.

Most filmmakers go out with the first feature and nobody cares.

That's kind of my ideal sequel - a movie that continues the story, takes one character and moves on, and moves forward with that character that survived with the first one.

There's a reason people use CGI: it's cheaper and faster. I hate that.
