When you first think of making a monster movie you have to realize that a lot of people may be down on you because there is a big prejudice against such films.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Really interesting genre films, especially monster movies, evoke the fears of the times intentionally.
I am a fan of the monster and horror genre but that's not my style as a director.
Really interesting genre films, especially monster movies, evoke the fears of the times intentionally. Our starting point was 'Godzilla' - the original movie was released less than 10 years after Hiroshima, and it's a classic in Japan.
They wanted me to do Scream 2, and I hate talking about movies I turned down, because it sounds judgmental. There's nothing wrong with horror movies. I enjoy watching them. The main reason I turn a part down is if I think I won't be good.
There are some people who shouldn't watch horror films, and I'm all right with that.
It's about finding unique, one-of-a-kind films that I would want to see myself. I think 'Party Monster' is one of those.
The Japanese, despite the trade deficit and their ability to build fabulous automobiles, still think that a guy in a monster suit is all that is needed for a monster movie.
Every time you do something, people are going to like it, people are going to hate it. You tend to make the movies on the basis you are making them for the people who are going to like them and not worrying too much about people who don't like them.
When I was a little girl, I used to watch a lot of monster movies, like 'Godzilla.' All those monster movies.
It's not a monster movie. It's a supernatural thriller.
