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

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.

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.

What some of the early horror genre masters knew, and what I know, is that the audience are perverts, but in the best possible way.

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

Definitely my favorite cut is the one that got put out. That's my favorite version of the film, the one that I put in theaters. That's my directors cut, there's no question about it.

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