I like to get the audiences cozy in their seats, feeling safe, and suddenly they'll be shocked out of their minds.

A good horror movie - it doesn't matter how many comedy horror films there have been before. Doesn't matter how much you think it's going to be funny. A good horror movie will scare the hell out of you... the moment you sit down and you start being exposed to that story, it's going to freeze your blood.

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.

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.

There's a reason people use CGI: it's cheaper and faster. I hate that.

I'm inspired when I find out about something that I didn't know was a remake.

I always say that I am a big fan of films but I am an even bigger fan of the filmmaking craft.

I try not to be spectacular with the camera. I try to be a witness of what's going on.

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.

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.

I think a good actor will always know the character better than anybody.

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.

In my everyday life, I can be as square as I want. But when it comes to movies and telling stories, I can't. I've got to be radical, and on some level, that's what I like to do.

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.

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.

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.

I need to create a whole cinematic experience. I think that's what it takes to get the audience to the theater and justify seeing [a movie] on a big screen. You have to give them a cinematic experience.

In general I think the inspiration was to think about all those movies that I saw as a kid and never knew they were remakes, because I know there's probably another kid going to watch Evil Dead who has no idea.

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.

Most filmmakers go out with the first feature and nobody cares.
