When I Was Filming The Death Scene

I Think That Horror Films Have A Very Direct Relationship To The Time In Which They're Made. The Films That Really Strike A Film With The Public Are Very Often Reflecting Something That Everyone, Consciously Or Unconsciously Feeling - Atomic Age, Post 9-11, Post Iraq War; It's Hard To Predict What People Are Going To Be Afraid Of.

I Feel Like In The '90s, Horror Just Lost Its Way And Everything Became So Safe And Watered-down.

As A Kid, My Idols Were Sam Raimi And Peter Jackson, And I Get Into Crazy Races With Myself. Raimi Was 21 When He Made Movies, And When I Didn't Get 'cabin Fever' Made That Fast I Thought I'd Failed.

Everybody Has To Know Where They're Coming From, What They're Doing, Why They're Doing It, Who They Are. These Are Essentials.

I Was Listening To Music To Kind Of Pump Myself Up And Get Psyched Up, Like I Was Listening To Iron Maiden And Misfits And Dead Kennedys, And It Was Like My '80s Massachusetts Parking-lot Heavy Metal And Guns N' Roses.
