More quotes by Fede Alvarez
I really don't like to go for the stereotypes. I try to give you characters that you don't know until you get to know them, and [decide] how you should feel about them.
Fede Alvarez
In another life, I would love to be the art guy - a production designer or a maybe even a composer.
Fede Alvarez
There's a reason people use CGI: it's cheaper and faster. I hate that.
Fede Alvarez
For me it sounds weird saying that the filmmakers respect the film. I don't imagine that there's other ways to make a film, but unfortunately there is.
Fede Alvarez
Maybe because I'm a child of the 80's, but for me a sequel is a story that follows the previous one, and sometimes if you haven't seen the original then you don't understand the second one.
Fede Alvarez
As a director, there is nothing more fun than seeing an audience screaming and jumping. You are the ultimate puppet master, controlling the emotions of the audience.
Fede Alvarez
What some of the early horror genre masters knew, and what I know, is that the audience are perverts, but in the best possible way.
Fede Alvarez
If you think about it, a lot of great horror films have bad sequels just because the market demands you to make the other one right away.
Fede Alvarez
Usually you always see first cut is an extended version, because it's basically everything you shot, and you have that version and then you start cutting stuff out.
Fede Alvarez
I love just about every aspect of the filmmaking except acting. I would never be able to do that, but the rest I really enjoy.
Fede Alvarez
There's so much stuff going on behind the cameras. Sometimes people think these things are done certain ways and when you watch that you see how hard and down and dirty it was.
Fede Alvarez
It's a convention, but in horror movies the female characters usually tend to believe easier in a supernatural event.
Fede Alvarez
Definitely my favorite cut is the one that got put out. That's my favorite version of the film, the one that I put in theaters. That's my directors cut, there's no question about it.
Fede Alvarez
I try not to be spectacular with the camera. I try to be a witness of what's going on.
Fede Alvarez
As a storyteller, when you're writing a movie and when you're directing, you want to keep people entertained. That's the whole point, right? It has to be entertaining.
Fede Alvarez
Only really good comedies and really good horror movies get a verbal response out of the audience. People will scream. People will laugh.
Fede Alvarez
I like to get the audiences cozy in their seats, feeling safe, and suddenly they'll be shocked out of their minds.
Fede Alvarez
Most filmmakers go out with the first feature and nobody cares.
Fede Alvarez
When you're a director you always feel weird with another director watching over your shoulder.
Fede Alvarez
I don't want to spoon-feed the audience, like, This is the funny guy, this is one you hate, this is the one you like. A lot of movies do that. They don't really give you a choice. They show you the jock, and he's an idiot, and everybody has to hate him. You have no choice.
