I've seen a lot of movies that were great and scary, but not particularly fancy in their filmmaking or performance. And they're still scary, and I think a good horror movie should be scary above all things.

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

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.

I really don't like to go for the stereotypes. I try to give you characters that you don't know until you get to know them, and [decide] how you should feel about them.

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

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.
