character people sides
I'm always on the side of the characters, rather than the side of the people attacking them. I get realistic. It's not gratuitous.
fun play interesting
It's always very interesting to bet who's going to go first and who is going to have the most unbelievable death. It's always fun to play with that and create more expectation. It's an interesting part of horror movie.
creative challenges trying
It's always about trying to do something that's different and not repeating yourself because then you lose your creative stamina. You need to have new challenges.
important stories approach
When I approach a story or movie, the story is the most important thing.
thinking trying filmmaker
Me, as a moviegoer, before being a filmmaker, I try to think about what movie I would like to see.
interesting challenges finding-yourself
When you do a slasher film, you find yourself repeating the same kind of scene, then it becomes not very challenging and not very interesting.
