My life and career is my own adventure.
From Dario Argento
I want to do what I want when I want to do it not be dictated to by audiences.
I've been lucky enough to have had the luxury of being able to make the picture I've wanted to make each time on my own terms and without compromise.
I went through a phase where I thought nostalgia was a bad thing.
It irritated me that my fans kept wanting me to retread old ground.
Then I realized my early work did have something special that audiences adored apart from what I humbly thought about them. They occupy a distinguished niche in Italian film history and probably always will.
Horror is like a serpent; always shedding its skin, always changing. And it will always come back. It can't be hidden away like the guilty secrets we try to keep in our subconscious.
Horror by definition is the emotion of pure revulsion. Terror of the same standard, is that of fearful anticipation.
Each film I make changes me in some way. When I start the picture I'm one person and by the time I finish I'm another.
No, it's interesting to remake a film for the contemporary audience today. I think it's a good idea; it needs to respect the original idea. Don't just take the title and change everything else.
