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
Most filmmakers go out with the first feature and nobody cares.
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
When you're a director you always feel weird with another director watching over your shoulder.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
I'm inspired when I find out about something that I didn't know was a remake.
Fede Alvarez
It's a convention, but in horror movies the female characters usually tend to believe easier in a supernatural event.
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 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
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 always say that I am a big fan of films but I am an even bigger fan of the filmmaking craft.
Fede Alvarez
I try not to be spectacular with the camera. I try to be a witness of what's going on.
