The 'Saw' sequels went in a direction I wouldn't have gone in. With 'Insidious 2,' I wanted to push a potential franchise in the direction I thought it should go in.

I had the greatest time of my life making 'Saw 3.' More fun than '2' for sure.

'Insidious 2' is a direct continuation of the first movie. We literally pick up from where we left off at the end of the first film. And whereas the first movie is a twist on the haunted house genre, the second movie is a twist on the classic domestic thriller.

I didn't direct any of the 'Saw' sequels, but people thought I did.

'Insidious' is independent. It's like the 'Clerks' of horror films, you know?

'Saw' really came from that want, the aspiration to make a feature film on our own.

In that, Blade 2 is very much like a rock concert... if it's too loud, you're too old.

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 find directing more satisfying.
