I think that The Eye is a particularly Americanized take on horror

Normally a period movie has a lot of problems with the graphics. They look modern made.

for in the absence of God he had found Man. Man killing man, man helping man, both of them anonymous: the scourge and the blessing.

You live and die two or three times making a movie. First, you write it, and the first pivotal moment comes when you can get it made. The second is in the process of making it, when the movie reveals itself to you, its flaws and its virtues. Then the most unnerving moment is when that movie is then launched into the world. It’s like bringing your kid to the first day at school and somebody points out that it has bowlegs, it is cross-eyed, or it’s gorgeous. You feel very exposed.

I was an altar boy, a spokesperson for the Virgin Mary, I was a choir boy but then at the age of 14 I discovered masturbation and all that went out the window.

I see horror as part of legitimate film. I don't see it as an independent genre that has nothing to do with cinema.

The underground of the city is like what's underground in people. Beneath the surface, it's boiling with monsters.
