I don't think you want to preach to people. I don't think In A Valley Of Violence, and the same with The Sacrament, there's a social commentary and a political element to both the films, but it's not like, Think this because I think this.

From a performance standpoint, it just gives [actors] so much - I had such a great cast [ in Valley of Violence] - and it gives them the ability to go wild with it and to have performances that are memorable.

Everything Jumpy could do [in Valley of Violence] was too much. If I put it in the movie you would all check out. When he wraps himself up in the blanket, that's as far as I could go, and that's not even close. The dog's amazing.
Ti West
I do think, even though I've made these genre movies, there's what happens in the movie and then there's what the movie's about. And for me, what the movie's about is so much more interesting.
Ti West
I always talk about movies a lot beforehand, and then we would get there, and I'd say, Let's play around and see how it goes. And they would do it, and I'd go, Well, that was awesome. It was really - I don't know, it was really special to watch them.
Ti West
Of course, we talked about Westerns we like with [James Ransone in Valley of Violence] , but it was always thematically in relation to the movie and what the themes of the movie were.
Ti West
I'd been all hyped about it, I was like, Please come, and to have that and know Tommy Nohilly is probably going like, This is cool, it makes me feel good.
Ti West
If you make just a straight scary movie, people are just - you don't know what they're thinking.
Ti West
I've done it with all my films. I always keep an eye on the first time I show it because... I don't know. Neurosis.
Ti West
I think having funny characters is just one way of having three-dimensional characters.
Ti West
It's a combination of yes - making a movie about the characters - and then, also, budget.
Ti West
It's very important to me to find ways to relate the audience to the characters. This is the first thing to go in most mainstream horror films.
Ti West
It is a very classic Western [Valley of Violence], and if you like Westerns, you'll like this movie, but there's a tone to it that's all its own that I think is unique and memorable.
Ti West
It's not the plot [of Valley of Violence] - the plot is the reason to get all these things to happen, all these character moments to happen. It was always meant to have these two perspectives.
Ti West
The first half [of Valley of Violence] was to endear you to all these people and give you all these archetypes that you're familiar with, and then the second half, just to see all those archetypes unravel like real people.
Ti West
As filmmakers, the Western is a historic, cool thing to be a part of once in your life.
Ti West
The movie [ The Innkeepers] is in no way a comedy, but I would put some of the funny scenes up against some of the funnier comedies this year. I think it's genuinely really funny, but it's out of the gallows.
Ti West
The bad guys, when they start getting picked off, they're upset that their friends died, too. But that's the thing. That's what life is. It's that weird gray area.
Ti West
[Valley of Violence] was written for James Ransone. PJ's a friend of mine, I've known him for a long time, he's always like, Dude, when are we going to make a movie together? I finally called him.
Ti West
One of my favorite scenes of the movie [Valley of Violence] is when Ethan Hawke is sitting at the campfire with the dog.
Ti West
If people don't like [my film], the ship's sailed. There's nothing I can do about that.
