The Best Movies Now Are Called 'thrillers.'

I Get A Little Too Obsessive With Work.

'cabin Fever' Was Very Much Inspired By 'the Thing.' It's Really A Perfect Guy's Horror Movie: There's No Love Story, It's Just Straight-up Horror. And It's So Well-done. It Moves At A Slow Pace, But It's Really Terrific.

I Saw Alien When I Was 8 Years Old. To Me, It Was Like A Combination Of Jaws And Star Wars And That's The Movie That Made Me Want To Be A Director.

Dawn Of The Dead Is About How We're Just A Country Cannibalizing Itself, Turning Into One Shopping Mall, And Everyone At The Mall Is Just Brain-dead, Wandering Around. Capitalism Gone Awry, And The Worst Parts Of Human Nature Coming Out. All These Different Things That People Read Into The Films That Are All There, Very Strong Anti-bush Sentiments That Went Into Making Those Films. It's Great. I Like It When People Get It The Second Or Third Time, When Someone Else Points It Out To Them. They Don't Realize It's Been There All Along. Those Are My Favorite Movies.

You Have To Write Scenes And Design Scenes That Are Scary And Horrific, But That Are Also Watchable. I Didn't Want People To Just Feel Like They Got Punched In The Stomach.
