More quotes by 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
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
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
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
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'm inspired when I find out about something that I didn't know was a remake.
Fede Alvarez
There's a reason people use CGI: it's cheaper and faster. I hate that.
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 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
I try not to be spectacular with the camera. I try to be a witness of what's going on.
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
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
When you're a director you always feel weird with another director watching over your shoulder.
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 think violence in movies, for it to work, you have to use it smartly. People get numb very fast. If you have too much violence in the beginning, it gets to a point where you don't feel it.
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
In another life, I would love to be the art guy - a production designer or a maybe even a composer.
Fede Alvarez
It's a convention, but in horror movies the female characters usually tend to believe easier in a supernatural event.
