There are a lot of parallels between doing a sequel and doing low budget movies, which is they give creative parameters. As a creative person myself, I work better with parameters as opposed to anything goes.

I found that a lot of people ridiculed contemporary art. I decided I wanted to be involved in art everybody could understand.

A lot of the reasons why people are annoyed at found footage movies is because people look at it like it's easy and that they could do it, too.

One thing I am very strict about is that I don't like spending a lot of money on movies because the more money you spend I think the worse that they get.

For some reason, people value being scared less than they value laughing.

But one of the rules I don't like to break is we still do - 95% of our movies are low budget. We're offered bigger, larger budget movies to produce a lot, and we don't do them. That's not to say there aren't exceptions, there are a few exceptions, but I try and stick by the rules that produce what I think is the highest quality, most innovative work and try and let the rules go that make us feel like we're retreading.

I think the most honest responses to the movies you get to watch are in houses and people's most private spaces, like the bedroom or in your own intimate space. I think that's where you feel safest, so when you're threatened in the place you feel safest, it makes for the scariest situations.
