“To me it's not so much that the movies are slow-paced as much as they are about spending time building a relationship between the audience and the characters. If you don't spend an adequate amount of time doing this, then how can you expect to scare anyone?” IfsCharacterAudienceBuildingAmountSpendingScareAdequateSpending Time Author:Ti West
“It's very important to me to find ways to relate the audience to the characters. This is the first thing to go in most mainstream horror films.” WayFirstsImportantCharacterFilmAudienceHorrorRelateMainstreamHorror Film Author:Ti West
“I think you make the movie in your head that you have to make, and you have to get it out of you. You have all these pretentious reasons why you want to do it, and you set out to accomplish them. And you think "This is important for what I'm trying to accomplish for the story," and I think those reasons will come through to an audience, and they will find it. That's the best you can do.” ThinkingTryingImportantReasonAudienceAccomplishPretentious Author:Ti West
“We've become so postmodern as an audience and we're so familiar with the style of horror movies that they all kind of feel the same. I think if you can do something a little bit unexpected, then you as a filmmaker end up being one step ahead again. I think that's the key.” ThinkingKindAudienceStyleHorrorFamiliarAll KindsFilmmakerUnexpectedPostmodern Author:Ti West
