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.

I feel like in the '90s, horror just lost its way and everything became so safe and watered-down.

Getting sequestered and not really knowing what to do with your time and then discovering, 'Oh, I can watch a bunch of horror movies' has probably played out in a lot of people's discovery of horror.

I like the fact that major studios have been attempting horror films recently.

I haven't done lots of horror.

I thought the marketing was really smart and really clever and unique at the time. It positioned 'Saw' as a horror film that was different from the other horror films that were in the crowded marketplace.

I've seen a lot of horror, but I'm not a horror guy.

Any horror element is as much psychological as special effects.

It's gotten to the point where it's big news when I don't do a horror film.

Horror is so often a 'thinkless' genre, sort of considered popcorn movies, but you really put a lot of, not just heart and soul, but a lot of physical energy into it.
