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.

More quotes by 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
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
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 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
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
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
It's a convention, but in horror movies the female characters usually tend to believe easier in a supernatural event.
Fede Alvarez
I'm inspired when I find out about something that I didn't know was a remake.
Fede Alvarez
When you're a director you always feel weird with another director watching over your shoulder.
Fede Alvarez
I think a good actor will always know the character better than anybody.
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
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
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
I always say that I am a big fan of films but I am an even bigger fan of the filmmaking craft.
Fede Alvarez
In another life, I would love to be the art guy - a production designer or a maybe even a composer.
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
Most filmmakers go out with the first feature and nobody cares.
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
Only really good comedies and really good horror movies get a verbal response out of the audience. People will scream. People will laugh.
