People love being scared, even for long periods of time.

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.

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.

My easiest judgment for a script is 'do I want to keep reading it?'

I love Hitchcock movies. I took a Hitchcock class in college, so I saw all his movies. I wrote papers on his movies.

Let's keep making inexpensive movies.

We have creative freedom because of budgets. Ever since I have been doing low budget movies, we've really had creative freedom.
