Threat is in the eye of the beholder.

If I see an actor in a role that is really terrifying, no matter how many times I meet him socially, I'm still frightened of him. I think he's going to hit me.

I like to think that I'm not as ominous in real life.

I think fear of the unknown is the scariest thing.

If a man is terrified, it's up to me to dispel that terror.

Well, I need to be frightened on a regular basis.

There's a clean simplicity to the plotting of 'Sinister,' whether you like it or not. And the scares are deliberate and even heavy-handed in a way. There's not a lot of sophistication or nuance in the plotting and not much restraint in the scares - and that's a part of what makes the movie accessible.

I feel like fear is a very real thing, a very ubiquitous thing, and it can be very subtle.

There are some things that as an actor scare you, and if you can capture that fear on screen, it will be interesting.
