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

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

You can make a film with a phone and a computer if you want, if you have the time. So it's a world that is saturated with films and all kind of stuff, so it's such a blessing to be able to make a film and people care, and even if they say that it's a bad idea, at least they care and they're talking about it.

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.

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

There's so much stuff going on behind the cameras. Sometimes people think these things are done certain ways and when you watch that you see how hard and down and dirty it was.
