A big budget studio film is slower, they've got so much to create around you. Everything is more complicated.

With horror movies, a bigger budget is actually your enemy. You want to feel the rough edges, the handmade quality to good horror films. It's a genre that benefits from not having everything at your disposal.

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

You never hear of a live-action studio that has been making so-so films looking over at a studio that's making great movies and going, 'Oh, we see the difference - we're using a different camera.'

It's a very good time for horror. This business certainly has changed, but there's still room for serious horror films. Look at 28 Days Later, that's not a tongue-in-cheek picture.

I've always thought photography was a bit of an adventure, so to come home with the film, develop it, then look at the results has more of a sense of excitement.

When you're in front of the camera, for a small budget or a big budget movie, there's no difference.

In movies, images cost - if you want a big image, it takes more money.

The biggest difference for me is momentum. On a smaller film you get to shoot sometimes four or five scenes a day and you've got to do the tight schedule. I think I really feel the luxuries of a big budget film.

Audiences can be leery of sequels; the studios make a hit, they see dollar signs, and they make a cheap rip-off.
