Personal Quote:

You can't do anything new with special effects; you can't get any mileage out of killing more people or being more graphic, because it's all been done - you should excuse the expression - to death. The pornography of violence is similar to the pornography of sex, in that when it's presented without substance it becomes a turn-off and it self-destructs. See more »

Trivia:

Frequently uses music by Harry Manfredini. See more »

Trademark:

Uses atmospheric cinematography from Barry Abrams in both Friday the 13th and A Stranger is Watching.
