I think 'The Thing' is so good because it's not just a scary movie. It's also social commentary, which works on multiple levels, which is something I really respond to.

From Drew Goddard

I love cult movies. I probably have watched 'Big Trouble In Little China' more than anyone on the planet.

From Drew Goddard

The horror genre gets you in touch with our primal instincts as a people more than any other genre I can think of. It gives you this chance to sort of reflect on who we are and look at the sort of uglier side that we don't always look at, and have fun with that very thing.

From Drew Goddard

It was a lot of 'Dungeons and Dragons' all through my teens.

From Drew Goddard

I think the thing I took most from game playing was just getting in the characters head. I took it really seriously. There's something about creating your character.

From Drew Goddard

You can always trust that an audience is smarter than a studio thinks it is.

From Drew Goddard

When Carpenter was shooting 'Vampires' in New Mexico when I was living there, I desperately tried to get a job working on that film, and I couldn't. So my first job as a PA was on a CBS movie of the week that was shooting next door, and whenever I could, I would sneak over so I could watch.

Here's the thing about 'Cabin in the Woods.' I did virtually no research on this movie.

From Drew Goddard

I love a good harsh horror movie, when it's done well. But there are times when it feels cynical. You can tell when a filmmaker loves the genre, and you can tell when someone's just cashing in a paycheck. Then it becomes a dumbing down - a fetishisation of violence that I react very strongly against.

From Drew Goddard

You don't want to make a movie just to make a movie. You better have a point of view.
