It's a convention, but in horror movies the female characters usually tend to believe easier in a supernatural event.

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
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'm inspired when I find out about something that I didn't know was a remake.
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
There's a reason people use CGI: it's cheaper and faster. I hate that.
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
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 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
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
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 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
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
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
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.
Fede Alvarez
In another life, I would love to be the art guy - a production designer or a maybe even a composer.
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
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 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
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.
