Every filmmaker knows that when you make a book into a movie, the first thing you have to do is kill the book, unfortunately. You've got to recreate it.

I realized what interested me as a student of film was one thing and the movies that I liked were another.

If a remake is not good, no one wants to see it and, again, it doesn't hurt the original.

Well it's always been an element of the horror film to show us the gross out. I mean that's one option for all filmmakers making a horror film and it's not something I've found myself above either.

I used to get headaches in 3D movies, and I didn't want the movie to give people headaches.

I love cats. I've had cats as pets.

I like something where I can really use my imagination and be an active participant in the construction of the monster and usually that's in the world of the supernatural or the world of the fantastic, so that's why those kinds of stories about demons and the supernatural appeal to me or maybe I'm really interested in that subject.
