moving eye thinking
Zombies are always moving fast in video games. It makes sense if you think about it. Those games are all about hand-eye coordination and how quickly can you get them before they get you.
believe thinking important
I really believe that you could do horror very inexpensively. I don't think it has anything to do with the effects, the effects are not the most important parts.
thinking lows ifs
I think you're only free if you're working on very low or huge money.
thinking objectivity years
There are so many factors when you think of your own films. You think of the people you worked on it with, and somehow forget the movie. You can't forgive the movie for a long time. It takes a few years to look at it with any objectivity and forgive its flaws.
thinking creepy needs
I don't think you need to spend $40 million to be creepy. The best horror films are the ones that are much less endowed.
dreamed gags great
The two great things about computer CG stuff are I can now do gags I would never have dreamed of in the old day.
american-director guy michael movies named wanna
The guy that made me wanna make movies... and this is off the wall-is a guy named Michael Pal, the British director.
anybody people seems stuff trends using
I don't like the new trends in horror. All this torture stuff seems really mean-spirited. People have forgotten how to laugh, and I don't see anybody who's using it as allegory.
affected corner somehow sort standing stuff trends
Somehow I've been able to keep standing and stay in my little corner and do my little stuff and I'm not particularly affected by trends or I'm not dying to make a 3D movie or anything like that. I'm just sort of happy to still be around.
either familiar genre
Horror will always be there, it always comes back, it's a familiar genre that some people, not everyone - it's sort of the cinema anchovies. You either like it or you don't.
brighten effect expensive leave original rest room shot
First of all, in the old days, if you wanted to show someone getting shot on film, all you could do was place an effect in the original take. And if you wanted to brighten somebody's face and leave the rest of the room dark, that was a very expensive process.
access information lunatic wants
What the Internet's value is that you have access to information but you also have access to every lunatic that's out there that wants to throw up a blog.
along american-director forgot godzilla humans wonderful
I thought Godzilla was a mess, the monster had no character and the humans didn't either. They forgot to make the movie that went along with all these wonderful effects.
amazing bitten gets guy helicopter incredible liked pilot until
I really liked the helicopter pilot in 'Dawn of the Dead', when he gets bitten and comes out of the elevator. That guy was amazing. He did this incredible walk that we didn't even know about until we started shooting.
