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.

More quotes by Fede Alvarez
In another life, I would love to be the art guy - a production designer or a maybe even a composer.
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
Sci-fi is definitely something that I've been wanting to do again since Panic Attack and I want to do it on a feature scale.
Fede Alvarez
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.
Fede Alvarez
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.
Fede Alvarez
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.
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
I think a good actor will always know the character better than anybody.
Fede Alvarez
There's a reason people use CGI: it's cheaper and faster. I hate that.
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
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
I'm inspired when I find out about something that I didn't know was a remake.
Fede Alvarez
Most filmmakers go out with the first feature and nobody cares.
Fede Alvarez
There's always a tone that you have to hit right in horror. With the blood, you want to make sure that it makes sense all along.
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
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.
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
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.
