I think Alone in the Dark was too much an action creature movie than a horror creature movie.

I think without the harsh critics, I would maybe have not made progress. From BloodRayne on, I spent more time and money on the development.

Alone is a much better film than House of the Dead and better than most horror movies out today.

I had $60,000 for my first movie. I was 33 before I made any money off of movies. I worked my ass off for free. To get that I'm "enemy number one" among young kids is a little absurd.

Homer is the nice side of Al Bundy with the same intellect. I really like him and Al Bundy.

I think a lot of people don't take you seriously if they hear it's a video-game-based movie, and a lot of press people don't write about you. With BloodRayne, a lot of serious newspaper people didn't actually even see the movie. They went online to see other reviews, and then wrote their own. I think comic-book-based movies have a better image. We see it with 300, Sin City, Spider-Man - they are A-list features, and video-game movies are B-list.

Slater's a big star and he's been in the business a long time. He's always in a good mood and easygoing but he takes his character very seriously.
