You Know, I'm From Boston,

I've Always Been A Fan Of 3d, Going Back To Movies In The '50s. I Was Part Of The Early '80s 3d Craze, Which Was Coming At You In Jaws 3d, So I've Always Wanted To Make A 3d Film.

The Difference Is In Hostel It's In The Theatre - It's In Public But It's In A Private Place. You Have To Actively Make A Choice To Want To Go See It. It's Not Being Forced On Anyone. Whereas 24 You Can Be Flipping Channels And It's Right There In Your Living Room. Anyone Has Access To That. But That Just Shows How Mainstream It Is And How People Are Seeing This Stuff On Youtube. People Are Scared Of It. This Is A Subject Matter That Everyone's Talking About And Everyone's Thinking About, Particularly In American Culture.

'cabin Fever' Was Very Much Inspired By 'the Thing.' It's Really A Perfect Guy's Horror Movie: There's No Love Story, It's Just Straight-up Horror. And It's So Well-done. It Moves At A Slow Pace, But It's Really Terrific.

I Think In A Post-9/11 World, With The Images Coming Back From Iraq, Everybody Knows More And More People Who Are Going Over There... The Images On The Youtube Phenomenon Where The Violence Is So Immediate. Direct People Need Something Stronger To Respond To. I Think That There's Definitely A Wave Of Directors - Who Are Labelled The Splat Pack - Who Really, Really Care About Making Great Scary Movies.

I Think In Life We Get Very Caught Up In The Minutia And, Unfortunately, It Generally Takes Some Sort Of Tragedy In Your Life To Put Things In Perspective.
