I think the Chainsaw remake is very good and captures the spirit of the original film. It's true to the tone of the original, to the point that it's almost a companion piece

I love music and I enjoy creating sounds. I got into making music when I was a child, starting with the spoons and the koto before moving onto the piano.

The films I liked were European films - Federico Fellini, Michelangelo Antonioni, François Truffaut.

The influences in my life were all kind of politically, socially implanted. And then there was Watergate.

If one sees the American Nightmare first and Chainsaw after that, you'll see it in a different kind of light

The original Return of the Living Dead, I was attached to direct it, and I wrote the story. Production was delayed. In the meantime I went to London to do Lifeforce.

You need an R rating because without one, you can't advertise and the film won't get shown
