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.

Even the European critics... They said Hostel is the smartest film they'd seen on capitalism and how it's gone too far.

I like movies like 'Mother's Day', where you watch it, and you've liked it for years as a horror movie.

Even post-WWII, nobody talked about the Holocaust. It wasn't until the '50s that people started talking about it.
