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.

I'm a believer in screening movies early, and using the movie itself to help sell the movie. If you can't do that, I feel like you shouldn't be releasing the movie.

The scares are the easier part of scary movies. The hard part of scary movies is what leads up to the scares.

You can't be a creative person and not fall in love with everything. Every movie I've made there's a complicated, twisted love affair with.

I really am passionate about making low-budget movies. You can try new stuff and unusual stuff, and you can break the rules.

I think the location is almost as important as casting the leads of the movie. The location on The Purge was crucial to that movie working.

I try to work with people who you're not used to seeing in scary movies. I think it makes for a more interesting mix, when you're watching the movie.
