But With My Last Film, Spider It

I Think Of Horror Films As Art, As Films Of Confrontation. Films That Make You Confront Aspects Of Your Own Life That Are Difficult To Face. Just Because You're Making A Horror Film Doesn't Mean You Can't Make An Artful Film.

Casting Is Really A Black Art. It's A Huge Part Of Directing And It's The Most Invisible. It's One That People Don't Really Think About Or Talk About. But You Can Really Destroy Your Movie By Casting It Badly Before You've Shot A Foot Of Film. And Yet There Are No Guidebooks For It, There's No Rule Book To Tell You How To Do It. It's All Your Own Experience And Your Own Sensibility And Your Own Intuition.

More Blood! More Blood!

For Me, The First Fact Of Human Existence Is The Human Body. But If You Embrace The Reality Of The Human Body, You Embrace Mortality, And That Is A Very Difficult Thing For Anything To Do Because The Self-conscious Mind Cannot Imagine Non-existence. It's Impossible To Do.

But When You're Writing A Script - For Me Anyway - You Have To Sort Of Create An Enforced Innocence. You Have To Divest Yourself Of Worrying About A Lot Of Stuff Like What Movies Are Hot, What Movies Are Not Hot, What The Budget Of This Movie Might Be.
