When I was a kid, I had two great guilty pleasures. One was horror movies and the other was martial arts movies.
I think I take what you might call a B-movie story, deal with B-movie subjects, and I treat it as if it's an A-movie in terms of my approach, my crew, my actors, my ethics and so on. I guess that's my trademark or one of them, anyway!
For instance, 'The Sixth Sense' had mediocre to bad reviews. Slowly, the audience pushed it and it received critical attention.
I like to write in a shroud of secrecy because I have to keep finding ways to scare myself.
I grew up watching Steven Spielberg and scary movies.
I knew the moment it happened, it was a miracle. I could have been kissing her when she threw up. It would have scarred me for life. I may never have recovered.
