evil horror-fans evil-dead
Not all horror fans love Evil Dead because of the humor, at least not me.
want panic-attacks sci-fi
Sci-fi is definitely something that I've been wanting to do again since Panic Attack and I want to do it on a feature scale.
inspired remakes knows
I'm inspired when I find out about something that I didn't know was a remake.
over-you directors shoulders
When you're a director you always feel weird with another director watching over your shoulder.
blessing talking ideas
You can make a film with a phone and a computer if you want, if you have the time. So it's a world that is saturated with films and all kind of stuff, so it's such a blessing to be able to make a film and people care, and even if they say that it's a bad idea, at least they care and they're talking about it.
dirty thinking people
There's so much stuff going on behind the cameras. Sometimes people think these things are done certain ways and when you watch that you see how hard and down and dirty it was.
good
A good story will keep you wondering about what's happening, what's going on, where does this go? Now it's going to go that way, now it's going to go that way. It has to do that. If it's predictable, it's just boring.
exposes goes roller watching
In 'Clockwork Orange,' you're there with your eyes, watching all those things, your brain goes off, ahh, exposes you to so many things, and at the end of the day, it's just like a roller coaster. Why do you jump in a roller coaster? You want a thrill.
empire favourite few life movies remember saw strikes time watched
'Evil Dead' was such a big movie in my life. It's one of the few that I really remember when I watched it for the first time. I mean, I don't remember when I first saw 'The Empire Strikes Back,' and it's one of my favourite movies.
aspect bigger fan fell filmmaking love loved movies
I'm a big fan of movies, but I'm a bigger fan of filmmaking itself. I fell in love with it when I was very young, and I have always loved to learn the craft, every aspect of it.
recreate
I have my pride. I'm a director. I'm not going to go and recreate some other director's vision.
best demanding job pressure time work
I'm pretty demanding with myself and my work, and I always put a lot of pressure on myself. I try to do the best job I can every time.
movies scare
'The Omen,' 'The Exorcist,' those movies for me are the quintessential horror movies that still scare me as an adult.
directors geniuses realized wants worried
I thought that Hollywood was just for geniuses and that directors come from three generations of directors. I was worried that I was not up to the challenge of making a movie. Then realized that all a director has to do is know what he wants to do.
