Most of my films have a lot of character development and exploration, whereas in most horror movies the characters are just cardboard.

In horror, character development is often pushed aside in favor of the shock value. The best genre movies to me are movies like The Shining. You had a connection to the characters in that film.

I hate horror movies, with a passion.

Most horror films fail to scare me. I think 'The Ring' plays more as a psychological thriller. It's smarter, there's more character development and some of the themes explored go a little deeper.

For me, horror movies are a real escape.

I love horror movies.
