I don't want people to feel: Why am I watching this? It's sick and sadistic. I want people to watch and think it's scary but they can't wait to see what happens next. I also wanted to make a movie that was watchable.

The world is changing. Social media is a way to sell movies and to build a fan base. The truth is that you have followers because they know you are into it and you're funny and you like it. I think it's great.
