A good horror movie - it doesn't matter how many comedy horror films there have been before. Doesn't matter how much you think it's going to be funny. A good horror movie will scare the hell out of you... the moment you sit down and you start being exposed to that story, it's going to freeze your blood.

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

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

I think violence in movies, for it to work, you have to use it smartly. People get numb very fast. If you have too much violence in the beginning, it gets to a point where you don't feel it.

Maybe because I'm a child of the 80's, but for me a sequel is a story that follows the previous one, and sometimes if you haven't seen the original then you don't understand the second one.

It's a convention, but in horror movies the female characters usually tend to believe easier in a supernatural event.

Only really good comedies and really good horror movies get a verbal response out of the audience. People will scream. People will laugh.
